No wonder people from japan loves it so much. It’s so addicting and deep. The weapons and fighting are realistic and you have to use strategy, not just button-mash. $30 is a bargain.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is the latest game in the Monster Hunter franchise for PlayStation Portable. It is an expansion to the original Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and was released on March 27, 2008 in Japan as Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G.
This is the game that everybody should play. Now, in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite new features are now available that in Monster Hunter Freedom 2 doesn’t have. With the new felyne fighter that will help in quests and fighting monsters. It will set traps for you, wakes you up when your dizzy/paralyzed/sleep that makes the game a little bit easier than Monster Hunter Freedom 2. It also includes Rarity up to 10, so other weapons and armors can now further upgraded. You can now store ALL KINDS of items up to X99 and the item box is now 8 pages and can be upgraded up to 10 pages. Wait, there’s more, you can now combine items while in the item box! Wow that’s cool.
The Multiplayer is still the same, it does not change. But it is still great. The multiplayer is the mode in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Freedom 2.
New Monster are now available like:
*Nargacuga – very similar to a Tigrex, a pseudowyvern. However, the Nargacuga is tenacious, extremely aggressive and has a prehensile tail (which acts like a fifth limb) full of spikes which it uses as a sort of club, slamming it at the hunter. It is found in the ‘Great Forest’ area. Nargacuga is vulnerable to fire and thunder attributed weapons.
*Hypnocatrice – a medium sized, brown bird wyvern, which expels a sleeping gas. It is related to the Yian Kut-Ku. It is even faster than the Kut-Ku, due to it’s “stomping” attack, and is a formidable foe to first-time hunters. It has a razor sharp beak, which can be broken. It is found in “Great Forest” area.
*Yama Tsukami – an enormous octopus-like monster which is constantly levitating. It is only found in the “Tower” area, and has no element, but is definitely a force to be reckoned with. It mostly attacks with its arms, but can also produce great thunderbugs at will. It is weakest against dragon attributed weapons.
*Ukanlos – an icy, partially aquatic pseudowyvern; the polar opposite to Akantor. It is roughly the same size as Akantor, and is based on mostly brute strength attacks, just like Akantor. However, it also has ice atributed attacks, including an attack similar to that of the Primatius, Blangonga, which is flicking ice blocks into the air with its enormous jaw. It also has a sort of diving attack. This attack is hard to avoid for inexperienced players but avoidable. Ukanlos is only available in the ‘Glacier’ areas. It’s quest is the highest paid in the entire Monster Hunter universe.
*Volcansioth – a piscine similar to the Plesioth; the “Volcano Wyvern”. It has a rock-like shell with scales layered with cooled magma, which enable it to swim through lava. It most likely has the same moves as the Plesioth. Found in the ‘Volcano’ area. Due to it being a polar opposite to the Plesioth, their weakness are different (Plesioth is a water attributed piscine, weak against thunder. Volcansioth is a fire attributed piscine, weak against water).
*Alternative monsters – As well as all of the monsters which are already featured in the game, it is also known that there will be a Copper Blangonga, in the ‘Desert’ area, a “Emerald Congalala” in the ‘Jungle’ and in the ‘Swamp’ area, a “Plum Daimyo Hermitaur” in the ‘Desert’ and ‘Jungle’ areas and a Terra S.Ceanataur in the ‘Swamp’ and ‘Volcano’ areas. (New names Sourced from Minegarde Forums)…Anyway, thanks for reading my preview!

I know there are so many Monster Hunter veterans out there addictive to the title. Any criticism could be insulting, but sorry, although I kind of like this game in concept, but I m not sure I will stay much longer on it.
If you enjoy 5 hours preparation for a 15 minutes convenience store shopping all the time, this game could be yours. In general, this is an ancient-fantasy version of SOCOM. You dress up and go out there to take down something do no harm to you, well, for enough reason…
At the very beginning, before you even are able to walk out of your given shelter, finish the encyclopedia on MH first. Huh, God, I m here to play, not to read!! If you dashed out for the first business hunting right after the gathering hall open, you are wasting time. The free blade in your hand just wouldn’t kill anybody other than yourself. It’d better to take the time with the stupid instructor and collect material to make a real equipment…
Even more annoying than the abysmal difficulty and time consuming, the camera is on the monsters’ side, literally. It points at an angle (more than often, the monsters are behind camera) and needs to be adjusted manually, yes, when your thumb is on the analog knot to dodge the attack. The L button repositions the angle, but most of the time you end up with seeing something worse than nothing.
Graphics is just what you can expect in a PSP title nowadays. It cleverly puts breathe taking far grounds without reach, while the battle fields you can walk in are just so so…
I play games usually just for short time to relax, and feel this game requires much bigger chunk of time which I don’t have. However, if you are still as curious as I was, the good news is it sold as much as an used MH 2. For the price, it really delivers.

This game is great. Great graphics, great gameplay, and lots of humor. Even if you have Monster Hunter Freedom 2, you still need to get this, because you can import all of your previous data, without losing anything! An overall great game.
