Great game. Don't be put off by the character's seemingly slow movements. I feel it actually rewards smart game play, and avoids being a no-brainer button masher. Plenty to do. You'll have to spend quite a bit of time into this one before you find yourself without something to do. A lot of content is found online however, and hunter's rank does not share between solo and online play. You'll find yourself doing some of the same stuff over again. Small creatures don't appear in the same positions between players. Granted this is fairly minor, since large creatures are the real concern and positioning for them is spot-on, it does look pretty goofy. That goes for gathering nodes as well (i.e. watching players whack their pickax against invisible rocks). Creature animations are awesome. The wii is hardly considered a "powerful" console graphically, but the in-game creatures move very realistically. Looks great. Typing and playing is a pain. Wii talk is used by a tiny minority. A lot more fun to play with friends using a laptop with skype to talk.Read full review
Monster Hunter Tri has exceeded my expectations the moment I began playing. Even from the moment I watched the opening scene when I put the game in I was impressed. New and old hunters alike will definitely enjoy the giant monsters you have to battle in this new installment of the Monster Hunter franchise. Graphics: I was a Monster Hunter fan from the first one on the PS2. They didn't have the most impressive graphics with other games that greatly surpassed those, but the definitely did it right for the Wii. This game rivals the graphics of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess among other titles. Breathtaking scenery, well detailed areas, monsters and characters, and lastly the underwater features. You really have to give credit to this game for pushing the Wii's graphics capabilities to it's limits. Although if you decide to play this on a large television, you might see some choppiness on the screen, although that happens with most Wii games. Graphics: 5/5 Music/Sound: The music score in Monster Hunter Tri fits right in with it's style. While you're in the village it plays cheery tribal like music and when in battle it has it's epic fighting score. As I played I was glad to find out that they kept the original BBQ music score when you're cooking, it was catchy and fun to listen to. They don't have many voice overs for the game other than the occasional "Hey!" or "Hello!" when talking to shop owners. Usually they just have different voice sounds as I like to call it, something similar to Okami, so I'll assume that some Japanese games are like this most of the time. Nonetheless, it's fine with me, most people just skip the chat dialog anyways. Music/Sound: 5/5 Controls: Alright, I can't lie, using the Wiimote and Nunchuck for this game is abysmal. Sure it's a little more interactive, but trying to get the right move at the right time is difficult, especially when you have to twist or flick the Wiimote in a specific way. Get a Classic Controller Pro, end of story. The controls are much simpler, you have two different configurations for it (New style where you attack using the buttons or classic style where you attack using the right joystick). I use the classic style because that's the way it was played in the first. Sure changing camera angles is a pain with the D-Pad, but I've been used to it for the whole year I played the first Monster Hunter. If you're a new hunter I suggest using the new style controls, my friend enjoys it that way. Although if you're an old hunter, you'll want to use the classic controls. It just feels right. Miimote score: 2/5 Classic score: 5/5 Gameplay: Here is the bread and butter of this franchise. Your objective; hunt down some of the biggest monsters you've ever seen, and trust me, they're huge. They're are almost all new large monster species in this game although they've kept the Rathalos, Rathian, and Diablos. The newest one (on the front case) is the Lagiacrus (La-gi-a-cris). An electrical underwater leviathan. Among hunting monsters you have to collect items and monster parts to create and make armor and weapons. They've fixed the hitboxes (areas where monsters can hit you) which is really, really nice. There are specific online and offline monsters so you really should play both modes. I have to make this short, I'm running out of space. Gameplay: 5/5 Replay Value: Endless. I recently got this game and I have 50+ hours logged in this already and I'm still on my first character.

This is my first foray into the Monster Hunter franchise, and so far it's been pretty good. It's not extremely complex game wise (find monster, hack it up, loot it, sell/craft items, repeat). It's alot like a computer MMO, just parsed down into grinding. It still manages to be entertaining, though (especially the fights with the really huge monsters) and the missions add some variety gameplay wise. Don't expect an immersive story, or any story at all for that matter. Online is where you wanna be, and the single player mode is only good to get you some items and show you the ropes. You'll need a USB keyboard, though: typing with the wiimote is painfully slow, and Wii Speak only works if you friend every single person you meet online (yeah, thanks for the "online safety", Nintendo). Overall, if you're looking for a fun online experience and liked games like Phantasy Star Online, then give Monster Hunter a shot.Read full review
I had played the previous titles in the series only to become frustrated by the hard to pickup and play mechanics. This entry not only made me appreciate the series more but helped me understand the older titles and made me fall in love with MH. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a solid Wii game with hours of gameplay.

I owned this game since release, but unfortunately my dogs found my CD case and decided to chew on it a bit. Fortunately, of all my games, I only lost Monster Hunter Tri and Smash Bros Brawl. I saw this deal and had to jump on it, since this game is still well-worth $40 even without the controller bundle. The game itself is a spectacular action/adventure game that forces you to become a better player to advance rather than relying on leveling up or other such gimmicks. In order to succeed in this game, you have to adopt the approach of a monster hunter. Learning the habits and patterns of your quarry, learning how to use your tools and traps, and learning when to attack and when to run are all necessary steps to survival. The game starts you off nice and easy but it is not long before the difficulty ramps up to out-of-this-world yet still fair levels.Read full review
