    Tri is one of those paradoxical titles that is by no means perfect, but doesn’t deserve anything less than a ten out of ten rating when compared to everything else on the system.

    Monster Hunter isn't the most difficult game of all time, of course, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a contemporary title that places such rigorous demands on its players' dedication and skill. In the same respect, it tends to either terrify its audience off within a couple of hours or engulf them completely.

    With dozens of hours of content and its own identity, Monster Hunter Tri deserves the attention of any owner of a Wii.

    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.

    The underlying complexities of crafting nifty new gear from their bones is the reason to put roots in Monster Hunter Tri’s wooly world.
  6. Gamer Limit

    Though the beginning is long-winded, players who make it through will find themselves equipped to deal with some of the most fearsome beasts in video game history.

    A solid framework for the future of online gameplay on the Wii and the strong multiplayer sessions are the only reason this game is getting an above-average score from us; if you’re not a fan of the series or can’t play online, deduct three or four points from our score and stay away.

Lets face it, why is citizen kane so good? because its on black and white? well monster hunter tri comes in color, but you also have the option to change your tv settings to make it black and white if you wanted, so even if you are a whore of movies, you will enjoy this game like the master piece it is. Have you read a book named Quixote, its a piece of garbage at one side of Monster Hunter Tri, now lets develop a deep analisys on it, why is the Quixote so good? because its a joke about book of that time made with a dense use of words. Well this game let other games on any console look like a joke, and it sure got tons of words, so many words that sometimes you will not even want to read, its so detailed, so exciting, so complex, that sometimes you believe you are out of this world. Some people says videogames are as much art as movies, those people are idiots, videogames are better than movies, Videogames can express art in another dimension, and monster hunter tri expands that dimension to the point of let you even wonder what a hunter is, what a monster is, it makes you forget you are playing, it instead makes you feel you are really chasing monsters and risking your life, you can cry with this game like with no other, heavy rain? its crap, you dont even move, in monster hunter tri you got a nice story and you also move. Uncharted 2? its so linear, its like a game on trails with shooting, it gots no strategy, no tactics, barely all the puzzles are gone, in Monster Hunter Tri all the game is a puzzle about how to hunt the monsters, and it lets you wonder things that nobody can answer yet, what is better a powerful armor? or a cool looking armor? if you want to find out the answer, you have to buy it, and play it. You will see then, you are before a real piece of art.… Expand

This is really one of those games that's greater than the sum of its parts. The simple story, the simple concept, it all comes together so well. If you have the patience to put time into it, but the game's definitely not for everyone. If you try out Monster Hunter Tri, though, give it at least 10 hours before you pass judgment. I was a little bit unsure of my purchase at first, but within 15 hours I was hooked. Very good!… Expand

Some quests have you acquire resources but mostMonster Hunter Tri offers dozens of unique monsters to hunt on a large number of epic quests. Some quests have you acquire resources but most require you kill or capture a monster. To kill these monsters, you’ll need the right equipment; a good weapon and good armor, which can be forged with monster parts or oar (only some can be purchased), as well as items such as traps, potions, and whetstones (which you can make or purchase). With numerous types of weapons and tons of abilities to obtain and manage, different climates to survive and, of course, all different kinds of monsters to face, this game certainly has some depth to it. On top of all the offline content, there’s loads more to do online with up to three other people and the multiplayer works fantastically. Why not a ten? Well, it just doesn't quite reach that level of awesomeness. Oh, and beware of a learning curve; this game is brutal before you get the hang of it. With the deep RPG elements and abundant quests, this game kept me captivated for a long while (I've played it for at least 180 hours and there's adecent amount of content I haven't touched).… Expand

After playing Skyward Sword and Okami on the Wii, this game feels totally underwhelming. The controlls are horrible, the menu system is awful, the gameplay is slow, the design is lackluster, the texts are barely legible with the Wii's low resolution - it's just not fun.

    Giving this game a 10 out of 10 is ridiculous. Now, I only rated this game 0 out of ten to help bring down the overall score (not that I expect it will actually do anything). Personally, I rate it 5 out of 10, not recommended.    … Expand
