What would happen if Monster hunter met Jurassic park and then slammed into a
Pokemon game-,the answer is this game!!. Having played the extensive demo for
over 3 days,we are impressed by its art style,character developement amd the
fact that unlike MH Generations,THIS ONE HAS A STORY!,and a good one to
boot!.
It's Due to the nature of the art and the different style that this version of
MH uses that MAY be a problem to real diehard MH fans,yet we are and found the
game extremely satisfying in the world presented for you to roam around in as
you strive to improve your Kinship with your monsters,( of which you can have
5 at one time,and store 200 in the stables as well as 12 eggs),fighting a
rock,paper,scissors type battling system against enemies. Though the battle
system is simplified to some extent,it is still challenging ,and can be
difficult at times. Requires team work,good Kinship with your monsters and
knowing the enemy monsters weakness and exploiting them (the pokemon element in
this game). All the potion making,crafting and weapon and armor enhancement that
is used in previous MH games is present here also, except the barbecue where you
roast meat,instead this time you make meat recipes for your monsters which AIDS
their levelling up. The world itself is huge and cut scences in 3D are mind
blowing,along the lines of the quality of Zelda,Ocarina of time,in the sense of
the cheerful colour palettes used,and the way the scences are structured. So far
we have found little to gripe about except the usual MH annoyances, BUT for
those that have NEVER PLAYED A MONSTER HUNTER GAME, being put off by the
complexity of the game but are curious to try,then this one is a SOFTER,
introduction to the game world of Monster Hunter,albiet,just as difficult in
parts,as its more serious siblings. So if you dont mind cheesey characters at
times,and a story that is well Written ,with cut scences that are well made and
enchanting,THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU,BUT if you like the more serious art work
and vibes of the previous Monster hunter games,then WAIT until Monster Hunter
world lands, Next year on the PS4. We are sold on this game. Have a great day
and enjoy,what is a brilliant ,well done and enchanting RPG based on the Monster
Hunter series. FOOTNOTE---Having finally clocked this game( still loads more to
do) I stand by what i said before,This game may NOT APPEAL to the HARDCORE MH
fan,but it definitely one of their better entries and an instant classic as far
as we are concerned. Still playing it to this day,and a worthwhile addition To
our ever growing 3ds collection. Look forward to MH WORLD on the PS4 as
well,next year,BUT to us being Pokemon fans, anime fans and so forth,this is a
hard game to beat. Also no glitches, frame rate drops or other problems,playing
on two copies ,(they actually hired testers, unlike most devs these days).
A VERY HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT,and awesome game. Have a great day.
