Farmville Domination Review

Summary: I’ve seen this before, haven’t I?  Oh yes, in Farmville Secrets. . .

If you’ve seen a couple of the Farmville guides out there, you’ll be startled by this one.  When I opened the file and saw the pretty green cover, I kept thinking “Where have I seen this before?

Oh yes.  It’s Farmville Secrets with a slightly different cover and title.  As you scroll through the guide (try opening them side by side and examining the index) you’ll see all the things you liked about Farmville Secrets.  Good charts, straight talk without fluff, and thankfully good English.  The only thing that you won’t see are the plentiful screenshots that you find throughout Farmville Secrets.

What You Get

• Information for both the beginner and mid-level gamer
• Charts to calculate the best possible crops
• Helpful index
• Same basic content as Farmville Secrets without the screenshots

The Good News

The language is a little more scholarly than in Farmville Secrets.  The author is not only a native English speaker, but a well-spoken one.  The charts are helpful, if a little obvious, at least they save you doing some math.  The index section titles are sometimes a little obscure, but nothing that will do more than momentarily pause you.  All in all a pretty solid guide.

The Bad News

Who hid the graphics??  Unlike its twin Farmville Secrets, Farmville Domination doesn’t feature any screenshots to help illustrate its points.  I get the feeling that Farmville Domination is nothing more than a rip-off designed by a person too lazy to put in graphics.  Still, if it’s cheaper than Farmville Secrets and you don’t mind providing your own pictures, buy it.  You won’t be missing anything—it’s all the same information repackaged.

Conclusion

If you don’t like graphics,you could buy this guide and get good content, but I’d rather have the same content with graphics in Farmville Secrets.

GUIDE	PRESENTATION	USEFUL INFO	ANY BONUSES	CONCLUSION
ULTIMATE FARMVILLE GUIDE	Professional, excellent charts, good pictures.	Lots of in-depth highly specific information—no fluff.	Farmville is constantly changing – free newsletter keeps you up-to-date!	This is the one you want.
FARMVILLE SECRETS		Useful information but doesn’t include any cheats or get rich quick tips.	Discusses the crop growth rate and rot rate in detail—but the chart form is a little lackluster.	One of the best guides available.
DOMINATE FARMVILLE	Excellent graphics and fairly good English, but wordy.	Lots of helpful general statements; not often specifics. Good charts and quick-level section.	The charts and graphics are absolutely top-notch. I especially like the picture of the Farmville cake!	I would buy it but not if I was impatient for the info. Could be better.
FARMVILLE MILLIONAIRE	At least 6 grammatical errors on the first page which is only 8 sentences long. Pictures.	Useful information presented fairly well. Attentive to details like Ribbons, etc.	Table of Contents highlights information for new players and power-levelers.	If you’re a millionaire, why can’t you afford grammar? Why!??
FARMVILLE DOMINATION	Excellent English, good charts, no screenshots.	Useful information but doesn’t include any cheats—you’ll have to dominate the game legally.	Nope.	Buy Farmville Secrets instead—it’s the same thing but with pictures.
FARMVILLE WIZARD	The cover gets half a star. Everything else is appalling.	States the obvious but maybe someone doesn’t realize you have to plant things??	Theory of Farmville—half a star for the pathetic “old grandmother” story	I think I’ll ask Gandalf for advice instead.
