"Be sure to use your other left...."
Though I have bought the books for Myst and Riven and they were excellent. This book stinks, it has many, many typos such as they tell to to pull a lever to the left and you were supposed to pull it to the right or I guess your other left. Overall the book was good for helping you to solve the puzzles but; it needs to be corrected and republished or have a web sight with the errors on it so you don't pull your hair out trying to figure out what you did wrong.

"At Last - the Answers!"
I'm pretty stupid when it comes to solving Myst, Riven and Exile. I find it unbelievable that some folks claim they can solve these by themselves. If you want the solution, or partial solution, here's the book for you. I know I couldn't have finished without it.

"The Best Strategy Guide I Have!!!"
I have multiple Guides, including riven and myst and some other games, but this was the most thorough of them all, its great, I highly reccomend it!

"Simply a Wonderful Guide Through Strange Territory!"
I love Exile. And I love this book. I still don't believe that anybody can solve the Myst Trilogy without cheating. One of the reasons that this book is so wonderful is that there is sort of a "preamble" before each series of cheats. This allows you to still feel the continuity of the game. There is also some "soft cheats" at the end of the book for you die-hards that don't want to use the walkthrough. Also, there is a journal by Atrus at the end. So buy the book even if you refuse to cheat at all. It contains helpful information of the continuing story.

"realMyst: All you loved about Myst - but better!"
I loved Myst in 1993 - and realMyst is the same great game, but with far better graphics (and one small, new world). So what is there not to love about it more than the original game and hence be worthy of at least as high a rating, if not higher?? I know realMyst would be rated higher if more fans of the original game would play this "graphically improved" version and rate it. But I believe many original Myst fans have not bothered to play realMyst because they think it is "just the same game" (my son's excuse). The wonderful graphics, sound effects, changes in weather, and 3D cursor movement (plus the extra world) made realMyst a LOT more enjoyable for me than the original game. I especially enjoyed the stormy Stoneship Age. The graphics in realMyst far surpass those in Riven, and also gave me a good preview of the extraordinary graphics I am now experiencing in myst3:Exile.
