I'm getting it soon and I'm looking for a Strategy Guide now. But is it hard? 'Cos if it is, I'd better find one of those Guides...

True but what if you're stuck? You tried and tried and you can't do it?
Do you give up?
Do you walk away and play the next game?
Or do you visit GameFAQs.com and find out how to get passed that section.
I don't print guides, if I'm stuck and REALLY stuck I have to go on the net to find out what to do... that way I don't do it all the time and i can resist the urge... going on the net and going through so much effort just to find out what to do next is so annoying I rarely do it. In Prince of Persia I did that just once and the answer to what i had to do happened to be what I was doing.. I just wasn't swinging long enough.

Why buy a guide when there are a million free ones on the net?
If you've never, ever used one then you can't say that they ruin the satisfaction of a game, since you've never actually experienced the use of a guide.
If you were completely and utterly stuck and baffled at a section of a game, a strategy guide could help you get past that part and continue to enjoy the game, meaning that you don't just stop playing it and essentially waste your £40.
I don't dispute the fact that using a guide from the beginning and right through the entire game is stupid though.

Yeah, I've seen how hard that is.
Do you always buy a guide for a game marked as 'hard'?
Because they don't make you any less crap.
Anywho - I seriously doubt it's very challenging.
Look at the content - the most difficult thing is choosing which character to change to.
