great game had 4 teenagers playing at the weekend on individual psp and the stratagising and team work was awesome to see. Proves gaming can promote social interaction

It's a solid game, interesting and well constructed. One thing that lets it down a little is the hitboxes – if you're used to full blown console MonHun, then be prepared for your dodges to not quite make it out of range, or for a swinging tail to hit you as you duck under it. The hitboxes seem a bit blockier than I'm used to. Still, the controls are responsive, and otherwise the timing is pretty typical. A fun game for newcomers and returning fans alike, as long as you don't expect too much from it. It was published in 2008, you gotta cut it a little slack.

Sometimes I wonder if there was a point to getting the next generation in the MH series, as it seems to be just like the last one, but with some new creatures. Sometimes that's true, but with this game, throw that whole idea away. Because this game has HEAPS of new stuff. It is massive, and the amount of new features they've added is huge. If you played MHF, or MHF2, and LIKED it, then get this! You will not be dissapointed. The quality of these games is through the roof. It's a must have for any MH fan, but even better yet, it's a must have for people who think the game might be fun. Trust me, it's worth it.
