I remember playing Cross Edge and thinking to myself “this game could really use an in-depth guide…”  Obviously my first choice for in-depth guide makers is DoubleJump Books.  However, with their Devil Summoner 2 handy reference guide being released so recently, I didn’t think they would have the man-power to get to Cross Edge.  Thankfully that wasn’t the case.

Similar to the guide for Prinny: Can I Really Be the Main Character? DoubleJump offers both an e-book, and a “print on demand” version.  The print on demand versions are really high quality and the $44.10 price-tag certainly reflects that.  If that’s too rich for your blood, the e-book goes for $9.99.

Personally, I can understand preferring the physical guide more for a game like Cross Edge.  This game is very heavy on numbers, so the data in the guide is probably something you’ll have to access frequently.  Pulling out a laptop, turning it on, and letting your eyes adjust just doesn’t seem like something I wanna do every time I need the info.

I guess this may sound contrary to my post concerning the e-book for the Devil Summoner 2.  The difference really concerns the frequency I imagine myself using the respective guides.  When it comes to Devil Summoner 2 I would only really need the guide when I am stuck, but for Cross Edge, I would probably just flip through it whenever I had free time.

I guess regardless I am happy the guide was made, I am just not sure if I can afford to shell out that kinda money for the physical guide!  Too bad, I am sure it would help immensely.
