5 stars "Get this beast!"

Like the description said, this is the biggest Monster Hunter game up to date. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, also known as Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, is an expansion of Monster Hunter Freedom 2. Several new monsters and weapons are added, the Hunter Rank have increased from 6 to 9, that means there are more, a lot more missions for you to do, either by yourself, with your felyne friend, or with other people.

If you're new to the series, this game require a bit of skills and patience to get good at, since the monster can take you out in a few hits. That means you can't just jump straight in the game and expect to take out a monster by randomly slashing it. The game isn't that fun if you play by yourself, but it can become addicted if you have someone else to play with. I never liked the series until a mate of mine make me play with him. I ended up with over 200 hours of play time in less than a month. It is truly the best multiplayer PSP game ever made.

If you have a PS3, you can play this game online with other players via Ad Hoc Party, a neat add-on that you can download from the PSN store; it will let you play supported PSP games online. With over 2 millions copies sold in Japan alone, there are always players available online so you won't have to worry about finding someone to play with online.

5 stars "This game will rock you.. Like a hurricane!"

I Love Monster Hunter! When I first had a look at this game I was a tad bit doubtful since it is a portable game and all, but as they say, never judge a book by it's cover or in this case, game by it's cover because this game surely delivers! Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is what any PSP owner who seeks a challenge should go for, the weapon and armor crafting is so vast and the weapons.. Oh don't get me started on the weapons! the enviroments are highly detailed along with the monsters and the graphics are amazing for a PSP game. So many things you can do and I can promise that anyone who gets this game will not be dissapointed, Monster Hunter is a challenge and a half so if your looking for a new game that will almost push you into insanity then.. This is the game for YOU!!! -Huddles in a corner-.

5 stars "The best PSP game hands down"

This has to be the best PSP game hands down I have over 1000 hours of gameplay, great improvments over Freedom 2, an added area, new creatures being added to the huge amount already on there, a heap of new missions added to the great amount already on there & if you havn't started Monster Hunter before a great game to start on 100s of sets of armour 100s of weapons with heaps of different types the best multiplayer game hands down

Review by Craig on 16th September, 2009
4 stars "Frustratingly addictive in short bursts"

All psp games have there ups and down and this being the same. Its really repeatative and lacks any real expansion from talk to people, get quest, collect items or waste large quantitys of lil furry animals and then collect reward. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite does all that but it keeps you addicted to the point of insanity for short periods of time. Attempting to upgrade your weapon and you cant find a resource that is required etc etc keeps you hooked. If only for a short period of time
