    The graphics are utterly gorgeous, and the soundtrack is a wistful selection of haunting folk music. In a lot of ways, this game conjures up nostalgia for a time that never was; but this matters not. This is a game that single-handedly moves PSPs in Japan. Now we can see why. [Aug 2009, p.76]

    Overall, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is an entertaining game, and definitely well worth the price tag – around $30 for 500+ hours of gameplay.

    Unite doesn't offer the kind of transformation at its higher levels that you might expect – the essential purpose is the same throughout: kill monsters, craft new shin pads out of dino-bladders, and swap your pig's wings for a magician's hat. Nonetheless, these simple motivations give way to a huge depth of execution which empowers and requires four players.

    It's a must have game for psp (If you are into action-strategy rpg game that is) You will be the one to choose it is a fun game or a masochistic and monotonous game. This game is not just a hack and slash game like Dynasty Warrior, it requires thinking. Go hunt a quick wyvern with a slow powerful hammer and you will be in a lot of trouble than when you use a quick long range and less powerful lance. Hunt a boar with a quick not so powerful sword to make the fight last forever than using hammer. Hunt monsters that have paralysis effect with metal armor that is vulnerable with paralysis effect to make this game a masochistic one. The downside of this game is that it's too addictive. Seriously don't play too much of this game or you will be in trouble with your life.… Expand

    sort of hard for a casual gamer to pick up and play. a hardcore gamer shouldn't have any trouble beating it. the monster quests are a little repetitive at times, and you will have to repeat certain quests to get farther in the game. the combat is really action packed and fun, and the monsters are ridiculously challenging sometimes.the feeling you get after killing a hard monster is like nothing in any other game i have played.… Expand

    Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is part of the 'Monster Hunter' series where you take on the role of a hunter of one of two Archetypes, Hunter or Gunner. In your quest, you are tasked with both defeating hulking beasts and collecting resources to be used for doing so. Monster Hunter has deep game-play and the weapon you choose greatly effects how things will play out. Each weapon totally changes how the game plays and what you will need to take with you. This game may have a steep learning curve, but as soon as you overcome the difficulty, you will find this game to be both an excellent purchase and a heap of fun. This game is widely based around co-op (See 'Unite' in title) and becomes a lot more fun if you played with 1-3 friends, The solo play is very fun, but the game truly shines in co-op.… Expand
