User Rating: 9.5 | Monster Hunter PS2
This is a great game for hack and slash gamers you can get many features and alot of enjoyment out of it! I spent well over 100 hours on one character, you are allowed 3 characters on one memory card and this game made me buy another one! Well first of all its the graphics.
The graphics are really goood on this game like when a dragon breathes fire it looks like fire although there could be some improvements made on the grass and trees etc. The armours are great and good looking and there are many armours for you to choose from and this makes your character look unique. There are also many weapons you can choose which also look great there are 6 weapon sets you can choose from which include bowguns, lances, great swords, sword and shield, hammers and dual swords.

The game play is quite your 'meat and potatoes' gameplay sometimes but altogether the sword play and tactics are awesome there are many items you can purchase and find by combining this items you can also make even better items! There is also making your weapons and items, you can buy them from the store or you can go out and fight your average monster and 'carve' skin or scales from it, then you can use these items to create even better armour that is not available from the stores!

The sound is almost as awesome as the gameplay, From a dragon roar to a deer yelp this is a great element to the game which makes it come alive and makes you think your in the jungle or forest etc. Also when you run/walk at the start you don't make any noise but later on in the middle of the game you start to make more noise depending what armours you gain.

The online play is absolutely amazing it lets you go out on a quest with your friends in packs of 3 or so and try to team on a monster this is an absolute god-send as if you cant defeat a certain monster in the offline mode just go online and get friends to help you out!

The lifespan of the game is incredible, you can leave it for 2 months and go back into and you'll get straight away hooked into a world of dragons velociprey and other legendary monster waiting in the shadows.

Hunt or be hunted - will it be the monsters who cry the terrifying roar or the hunters that yell the victory cry? You Decide.
