GTA V getting not one, but two strategy guides

Strategy guides for a major blockbuster game, eh? Who’d have thought it?

Brady Games has won the rights to publish the official guide to Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto IV. In fact, it’s rolling out two in time for the game’s September 17th debut.

The Signature Series guide features a complete walkthrough of the main missions, as well as details on the unique abilities of the three main characters.

This will be accompanied by maps of the new game world, as well as more detailed maps of the mission areas.

It also includes information on all of the side activities, from arms trafficking to tennis, and tips on making the most money out of the available properties, businesses and trading on the stock market.

The Signature Series guide retails at 14.99 – but for 19.99, consumers will be able to pick up the hardcover Limited Edition guide. This adds a collection of GTA V illustrations and comes with an exclusive lithograph of official GTA V artwork.

Both are available to pre-order now from GAME.
