Halo 2 Official Guide Announced
Piggyback spent months on definitive guide.
While many bemoan the existence of videogame guide books as an unnecessary crutch, some publishers go the extra mile to make a purchase worthwhile for all but the most cynical. Take Piggyback as an example. The company spent the last four months working with Bungie to create the definitive guide for Halo 2, the developer's epic shooter.
Coming in at a hefty 224 pages, the hint book contains guidance for both the single- and multiplayer sections of the game, in addition to a primer for those new to the series.
Halo 2 is scheduled for release exclusively on Xbox on 11 November, and Piggyback's guide will be right there.
For an idea of what to expect, head over to the company's site (www.piggybackinteractive.com) for a 12-page preview of the guide.
Halo 2 is released exclusively for Xbox on Thursday, 11 November. Read our full review here.
