When you're in the market for a video game strategy reference, the first decision is usually which game you need help with. These two guides sit on opposite ends of the action-RPG spectrum: a 2012 Capcom/Brady paperback for Resident Evil 6 and a 2004 DK Games trade paperback for Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories on the Game Boy Advance. Beyond the obvious difference in games, you're also weighing a $3.00 price gap and the condition of each used guide.
Quick verdict
If you're currently stuck in the corridors of Resident Evil 6 and want a single reliable walkthrough, the Resident Evil 6 guide gets the job done. If you're exploring Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and want a very clean copy with extra visual aids, the Kingdom Hearts guide is the better choice.

Where each product wins
Resident Evil 6 guide wins for direct campaign help
This guide is the one to grab if the 2012 Capcom release is the game on your screen. It's a dedicated companion to that specific title, and the listing describes it as sturdy with no markings inside, so it's ready for repeated use. The paperback format is easy to keep open on a desk or lap.
Kingdom Hearts guide wins for cleaner condition and extras
This one appeals to guide collectors and players who want a very good copy with minimal signs of use. It features a fold-out poster and a complete walkthrough, making it a richer package for anyone working through that version.
Product notes
Resident Evil 6 Strategy Guide
This 2012 Capcom/Brady guide is a single-title reference for Resident Evil 6, so it's the natural choice if that's the game you're actively playing. The listing notes that the copy shown is the exact one you receive, and it's a straightforward paperback focused on the campaign. The main limitation is that it focuses narrowly on Resident Evil 6; if you were hoping for a broader series compendium, you'd need a different reference. For a player deep in that specific campaign, it's a dependable companion that sits flat on the desk and doesn't distract from the action.
Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Strategy Guide
This 2004 DK Games guide for the Game Boy Advance original features a fold-out poster and a complete 144-page walkthrough, plus illustrations to help you navigate the game's world. The poster is a handy extra for fans who want a visual aid. Written by Greg Sepelak and Beth Hollinger, it's a thorough resource for the GBA version. The limitation is its focus: it's built specifically for Chain of Memories as it appears on the Game Boy Advance. If that matches the version you own, this is a thorough pick with a bit more to flip through.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Resident Evil 6 guide when your playthrough is the 2012 campaign and you want a dedicated, no-fuss companion. Choose the Kingdom Hearts guide when you're playing the Game Boy Advance original and prefer a very clean copy with a poster and a complete walkthrough. If you're simply weighing condition and extras, the Kingdom Hearts guide offers more.
