Riven: The Sequel to Myst: The Official Strategy Guide

Another good book to have if into older games and need some help. The Myst games are great for all ages and the whole family can enjoy them. Great if one does the controls and another does the reading, it really makes these games a lot more fun to enjoy. The Larghe's

This is the best book. It is a lot like the Myst srategy guide.

I fell in love with the game Riven right from the start. I had not played very many computer games before this, and had never played Myst, so therefore, Riven turned out to be a bit difficult for me. Just when I had solved a fairly easy section I would hit an impasse and thought I'd maybe end up banging my head against the table. I was hopelessly stuck at a point in the game when I came across this book - a blessing I thought! It's actually more of a curse due to the fact that the book makes it much too tempting and easy to cheat. There is nothing as thrilling as finally breaking the code, solving the mystery, and finding the answer to the great puzzle - the book eventually gives you all the answers and thus spoils the fun. I for one will NOT buy this "cheat sheet" type of book again, however, I highly recommend it to those individuals who get a thrill out of cheating!

Players of Riven know how EXTREAMELY difficult it is, with so much to find, learn and understand playing this game without a stategy guide is just plain crazy. While I played most of the game without one, after buying this it made sense of the things I had discovered. A MUST if you're having trouble figuring out the D'ni numerals (gives you all 25) and how to open the domes. A wonderful book and you don't feel like you're cheating, after all, Riven is not a walk in the park. If you want to win this game or at least have fun without the frustration, get this book. You won't be dissapointed. I promise.

This book could by a real time saver(mental anguish) for any one trying to complete the game. There were times when the book left me wondering what to do next, but in general a good publication.
