THE GOOD: Great online
Cool control system
Awesome combat
Total customization
Cool use of teamwork
Varied misions
Lots of other stuff to do(cook, fish, gather, create items)
Lots of armor/weapon options
THE BAD: No headset support
Terrible offline
Training missions are easy but take a long time
SUMMARY: This game is one of a kind. Seriously. You start out with nothing but a sword and shield, then you talk to the villiage elder and go through hellishly boring training missions, which drain your interest in the game till you come close to selling it. Don't worry, it gets better...be patient. Then, save and exit out of the single player. NOW. (this is if you have an online connection) Go to online, set up an account, and get ready to see why this game was made. The controls are totally different than other games, so takes a bit to get used to it. I like it, some don't. Anyway, the...
THE GOOD: Most of the game is amazing to be honest, while it does have several glaring flaws the good outshines the bad.
1. Taking down something big always makes you feel powerful. 2. You can spend 10 minutes just looking at the screen, admiring how cool you look in your armour. 3. Challenging quests. 4. Plenty of armours and weapons to choose from. 5. Many different weapon types such as guns, great swords, and lances.
THE BAD: Here are the bad parts of the game:
1. Spotty hit detection. 2. Your hunter is slow as hell. 3. Some monsters annoy you to the point of hurling your controller through your screen. 4. You CANNOT pause,AT ALL.
SUMMARY: Monster Hunter is one of those games that is grossly underrated,, yet has a dedicated fan base that will probably never stop playing it. At first you start off as a total noob, with no armour whatsoever and a crappy sword. However that will soon...
THE GOOD: This game is great constant fun u know wat dont evan read any more just go out and buy the game. Go now ok another cool thing is u can use the same char u use to play ofline can b used to play online also its a great help. it has tons of weapon and armors that you are able to create and when you get the collest armor you get to strut around lookin sweet
THE BAD: Why are u still reading go buy the game... fine the only bad thing is if u dont got internet connection this game gets dam boring and typing without a key board is a drag also it should have had a headset
SUMMARY: Great Fun kicks A$$ now stop reading and buy the game ok the games char custamazation is fun and making a cool char and getting tons of cool armor with crazy wepons is the best the detail is awsome i love this game tons of hours of fun so far i got over 700 hours of fun and i have beat the game if i could i would play this game 24/7 but parents wont let me
THE GOOD: Above average graphics Great combat Nice selection of enemies Online is a blast Offline is pretty good
THE BAD: Offline takes a while to pick up speed No headset support Sometimes camera can be a pain Minigames aren't so imaginative
SUMMARY: I have read many "Pro"-reviews, and I'm here to set the record straight. Many of them say that this game is unimaginative, and hasn't even scratched the surface of its potential. Well, you can plug up your ears with cotton and read this. One guy even said, and I quote, "...this game takes place in Prehistoric ages and you play as a miscellaneous cave person." Pfft, we all know that the Neanderthals had guns. It's so obvious.
When I first saw my friend playing this game, he was in the middle of a forest, collecting mushrooms. Boring, yes I agree. I got rather bored of him running around and picking mushrooms. One person can only take so much...
THE GOOD: Its fun, it has pretty good graphics, it has a lot to do, weapon upgrading is fun, and the monsters look great.
THE BAD: NO OFFLINE MULTIPLAYER!!! no real story , and really hard.
SUMMARY: Overall, it's pretty good. There isn't really much to say because the title explains it all. You can do all sorts of things irrelevant to hunting monsters such as mining, fishing, item gathering, and bug catching. Carving monsters, mining, and catching bugs is fun, but totally random. There is some music in the game, but you only hear it in a fight, and at the beggining of a quest. I don't like the time limits that the game has, and you can't really pause the game. You can bring up a menu, and still get your ass kicked. Upgrading weapons is fun, and the weapons have a very wide variety. There is a vast array of monsters for you to kill, and they each offer their own set of items to carve out. The quests are hard out the whazoo, but the harder they...
THE GOOD: Nearly everything I have to say. The graphics are pretty descent, and do a good job of bringing the wyverns to life. Gameplay is good, mainly because you feel invincible after slaying a massive wyvern over 50 times your size. The sound is pretty good too, because you know you're in trouble when a load roar bursts throughout the area you're in. Finally for the generic goodness, it has wonderful replay value. I've been playing since 2003 and it's 2007 currently. I've been online and off with over 17 characters and still haven't gotten every last piece of equipment.
THE BAD: Now for the bad, the graphics are good and pretty but that's about where it ends. It's the same japanese import-esque choppy graphics we all used to see on Cinematech at night. However they're still fairly good, better than most import translations. The gameplay can be frustrating at times too, as noted in my inability to obtain every piece of equipment. After four years playing...
THE GOOD: Amazing environments Badass weapons Cool enemies bitchin combat system
THE BAD: all the missions are timed not too much of a storyline
SUMMARY: monster hunter is freeking awesome!! the game has a very detailed character customization when you wear armor it changes the way you look. With smart and powerful foes you're going to need some serious weaponry. There are two types of hunter you can choose from. They are blademaster and gunner and you can switch from one to the other at any time during the game. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses as well as your enemies. You can upgrade your weapon using material from the land or my carving up a creature and with online play it adds more replay value for anyone. The quests you take on the game are either gathering or hunting. Gathering quest you have to get certain items and deliver them. Hunting quest you have to kill a certain creature or a certain amount of...
THE GOOD: This game's online play is incredible. Taking down a monster with a big weapon (Sword,Great Sword,Dual Swords,Hammer,Lance,Gun) made of the hides and claws of other slayed creatures with up to 3 other people is great. All the while being protected by armour which is again made of the carcasses of enemies past. There is a great Town set up to trade items, talk tactics and show off your new equipment. There is even a market place, an armoury and a guest house where you get rewarded with posh luxury rooms for being a good hunter. The quests vary (with 3 choices; Hunting,Capturing or Gathering) and all the while building up to bigger opponents. Controls are brilliantly simple leaving the concentration to avoid the monsters and also giving the game a more intelligent game than using super special moves. Visually this game is stunning. The monsters look perfect, landscapes are incredible and when a fireball is hurtling passed you only inches from your head...
THE GOOD: awesome graphics and great game play with bad ass weapons and armor. awesome fighting
THE BAD: some of the boss's are hard to kill and you get a surtent amount of items to use witch is poor its hard to get health up potions.
SUMMARY: the game play is awesome and off the wall I think this game is one of the best games out there. I've played games since I was 3 and I know what a good game is when I see one. hopefully most people have already played this game if not then get your butt out there and buy it. online play is the best for me thts were you get all the money and iteims from hard to beat monsters on single mode. I've goten up to $60,000 just by going online with other people that makes a person wanna goback and find more stuff lol. online if not is one of the best ways to get what you need on this game it's more easier to get what your looking for online then it is offline. hopefully you come join me and the rest of the...
