The strategy guides have always been by Brady Games for Skylanders. This shows that the Trap Team guide will be by Pearson Education. I never heard of them. Has anyone heard of them or used guides from them?

Edit: No other strategy guide publisher can boast the distribution power of BradyGames. As part of the Pearson Education global network of companies, BradyGames can guarantee maximum market penetration – domestically and worldwide. From bookstores to mass-market retailers to a growing Internet presence, BradyGames distribution is second to none in securing broad-scale placement of our guides.

I have uses school books from them but not game guides . I didn't think that's what they would publish.

And it was updated with cover art, AGAIN, the Mummy shows up:



I'm thinking he's gonna be Wave 1.

It's possible and very likely, but just look at what they did to Stink Bomb. They used him in all of the ads and previews for Swap Force, but they ended up holding him until Wave 3, if I remember correctly.

The last strategy guide was lazy, and I expect more of the same.

That's from the BradyGames website. It's basically saying that BradyGames is part of Pearson Education. This is probably why GameStop labeled that as the publisher instead of BradyGames.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. lmaooooooooooooooooooo

So I realize that this is an old-ish thread, but I don't really want to create a new one.

Amazon decided to ship out the Brady Games, Signature Series, Trap Team Strategy Guides early as I just got mine today. The cover is not like any of the ones above. It's like this:


(click through for larger version)

Looking through the guide - disappointment reigns I am afraid. It's not finished. Only the first two adventure packs are included (it talks about four being released), no new elements or new element figures are listed. It does have some of this spoiler stuff that I am going to list below though in it....

SUPER SPOILERS BELOW! DO NOT READ IF WAITING FOR GAMEPLAY SURPRISES!!:



The best I guess I can hope for is that I do have the code for the electronic version of the guide and maybe that will get updated with more info after the game actually comes out.

-vm

Could you post pictures of the upgrades?

Specifically wallop and jawbreaker's upgrades?

^Oh here come the "please post"... posts. Sigh.

The lack of completeness might speak to the "crunch time" we all suspect was happening as the game was evolving at every trade show preview. Then again, these guides are becoming amazingly useless, and is costing more. I guess the market is speaking that quality reigns supreme--or that the free ones released by fans provide more value at a great cost point.

The lack of completeness is only because they want to keep the Light and Dark stuff secret. Stop being a negative nancy.

I'd argue that they didn't cover a number of other areas. And, as I've explained before...why have a product that is incomplete? Clearly the "reveal" was spoiled. For $25 I'd expect a COMPLETE guide. And I'm a contrarian.

Unless you have proof that some areas weren't covered, I won't believe it. The only ones missing are the other two Adventure Packs, which coincide with the new elements.

No offense but you kind of proved his point, while trying to disprove it

Incomplete guide is incomplete. The fact there is even a collectors edition of the guide not being complete is farcical.

As requested.

I don't think I've ever seen a printed game guide that has been complete, at least for games i play.
i've gotten all the pokemon ones since r/b/y, they recently have split it between 2 versions, pre-elite 4 and post-elite 4, and still miss quite a bit.
I got the DI 1.0 one, it was missing toy story playset.
Zelda has always left out the last few levels.

with so much available online nowadays, i would have thought the direction they would go would be to include more stuff, or stuff that is unique to the guides, rather than leave out "spoilerey stuff".

that said though, i will still likely get the book when i eventually see it here, i have the other 3, and mainly get them for the character info and upgrade stuff, rather than as a walkthrough.

If it's not much trouble could you do them all? I know it's a lot and I'd understand if you said no though.

The Soul Gem Ability should have been called Out-Rage-ous.

Gem - Out-Rage-ous.

"Jem...Truly, Truly, Truly Outrageous"

*sighs* I'm SO old....

youtube has a lot of the upgrades already up. save some time

I can't post pics off all of them, I can do a few.

All I'd like to see are 's upgrades and that be enough for me to know.

Lol You're not alone; it's not the age, it's the mileage. Also, the 80's rocked.

Even guidebooks for Bethesda games, which are often simply interesting to read, miss a few details here and there. The era of perfect printed guides died with Versus Books.
