A very good and addictive action RPG. You kill a lot of monsters and collect even more stuff, which are used to upgrade your equipment. The missions are a bit samey, though. [June 2010]
Best On-Line Third Person RPG game ever. Even shows us Zelda fans love and I love the challenge. Sword and Shield is balanced and I'm happy. Inventory is simple and off the chain like normal. Monster Hunter has came a long way and walks over World of Warcraft.
I LOVE this game! Great weapons, beautiful locations, great music, TONS of replay value and inventive monsters. I mean, what other game that is out there has a lava sea monster that swims in lava and UNDERGROUND! And the online mode is great fun! One of the best games on Wii, multiplayer and single player!
An ambitious project has given birth to one of the best titles on the Wii. Great and deep mechanics, finally (almost) accessible gameplay and bestowed with a good control system. Get it and play it with at least a Classic Controller, your WiiMote won't make it.
Overcoming daunting obstacles is part of what makes playing Monster Hunter so rewarding, and the game gives you the option to do so offline by yourself or with friends.
Monster Hunter Tri is the opposite of a casual game. Hunting monsters and upgrading your weapons is a challenge for endless hours and highly addictive. Free Online-mode included.
It brings the tried and tested formula to the Wii without as much as a hiccup, offering the most user-friendly experience yet. The game still requires patience and a solid investment of time, however, meaning that Tri is still very much reserved for the core gamer.
Fantastic game with a multiplayer experience very unlike what you would find anywhere else! Work as a team with your friends to take down a challenging boss monster in an epic battle? Sign me up. Can't wait to play each new Monster Hunter when it comes out!
You know what, I'm tired of all the ten out of ten reviews for this game. The one player mode is huge and interesting at first but soon becomes a chore.I bought this for the potential of the multiplayer. It is a total let down- the WiiSpeak hardware is terrible. After several sessions of shouting 'what's that mate?' at the telly only tyo get another mumbled/echoed reply myself and my group of friends traded this . I'm really losing faith in Nintendo- their reluctance to provide services that the PS3 and 360 do for their customers is becoming boring.
Okay. I'm going to do what apparently no one else will do. Tell you that this game ****. Before we begin, yes, I'm a huge RPG fan. I've played everything from Fallout 3 to Xenoblade to Skyrim to Sleeping Dogs to... you get the picture. I'll play nearly any of them I can get my hands on. However, I couldn't stand this game. The controls were ****, the attacks had animations that were so clunky and long half of the time you would get hit anyway, so it was more luck than strategy, not to mention that every attack moved you forward, which is fine, and maybe even useful for the big enemies... but when you're fighting the annoying little flying insects (why am I even fighting friggin insects?) you'll miss 4 out of 5 times. To be honest, I couldn't play this game for more than... I don't know, between an hour and two hours. I really wanted to like this game too, but I just couldn't. I didn't try online mode, but I'd imagine the controls and etc. would be exactly the same. If you want to play something kind of similar, give Xenoblade a try, it's nowhere near as annoying. If you liked it, first tell me what I was missing, so that I can give it another shot, though I doubt it gets better further in or anything like that. Then try out Xenoblade, it's so much better.
This game is garbage. The playability is terrible, everything takes too long, every animation is excessively long which makes it a pain in the ass every time you have to heal or use an item. I mean, the animations are so long they appear to me to be a sick developer`s joke. Or maybe they thought "how do we stretch the game play time to the max without adding more content? just make every animation several seconds long and make the entire game in slow motion!!". Gathering items takes too long and you need too many of them to do anything useful. The playability in the water is a joke, while the monsters you have to slay in the water move like lightning. The monsters are cool and all, but once you hurt them they start running away and you have to chase after monsters for way too long to kill them, because they heal themselves and hide. And excessively so, by the time they are limping do not be fooled, they have probably about 80% of their health and will move around the map like 10 times before dying. This game quickly becomes a chore and it brings a lot more pain and frustration to the player than happiness and satisfaction. Games are supposed to be a fun escape, this game is like trying to cut a tree down with nothing but a butterknife. It`s excessively difficult and for no good reason. I`m glad i only played this on an emulator and didn`t spend a penny on it. As soon as I realized this game was giving me a lot more stress and frustration than if I hadn`t been playing it, i deleted the game and cleaned my recycle bin. I am now very bitter thinking about the hours i threw away playing this crap game. I should really start doing more productive things in my free time.
