    Is it the game for you? Get the demo and find out - if it is, there's no better value game in existence on any platform, especially if you have PSP-owning friends that are similarly attracted to the game. If you're unfamiliar with the series, though, be prepared to be a little overwhelmed by the sheer variety of content on offer and somewhat underwhelmed by the interface. Read more

    Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is an enormous game for a handheld console. It’s a game where you will get well rewarded for putting a lot of effort in. It’s easily the best release so far in the Monster Hunter franchise and bodes well for the eventual release of Monster Hunter 3 Read more

    Even with tens of hours of new content and welcome improvements over its predecessor, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite has yet to hunt down a few critical annoyances. Read more

    • Great visuals and audio, Significantly more content than its predecessor, Data install significantly improves load times
    • Camera control is inexcusably awkward, Continued lack of lock-on control exacerbates the poor camera, Too much time is spent wading through menus

    Capcom claims there’s around 500 hours of gameplay in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, and we’re inclined to agree. It’s deep, it’s addictive, and it’s even better with friends — just don’t be surprised when it kicks your arse. Read more

    • Deep combat mechanics for 11 unique weapon classes, Incredible crafting system for bombs, ammo, armour, and weapons, Huge game worlds, varied missions, bizarre monster...
    • Some enemies have cheap attacks, Can be ludicrously hard

    Like the description said, this is the biggest Monster Hunter game up to date. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, also known as Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, is an expansion of Monster Hunter Freedom 2. Several new monsters and weapons are added, the Hunter Rank have increased from 6 to 9, that means there are more, a lot more missions for you to do, either by yourself, with your felyne friend, or with other people.
