Customer Reviews

This game is probably the bast game ever made for PSP.... a MUST-GET
I bought the Japanese Version 2 months ago, and i found myself addicted to it... It is more addictive than any other games that i have played, for example Warhammer Dawn Or War.... This hack n' slash game is full of exciting adventures and it has got amazing graphics. Moreover, there are countless monsters and dragons for you to slay and capture. The japanese version sold a million copies in 3 months, you can imagine the craze over this game.

It has also improved from the first Monster Hunter Freedom, with more weapons such as bows, taichi (samurai sword), gunlance and War flute, and added with more monsters to fill your hunting needs . :) It is not alot different from the Japanese version, they just translated everything into english, which makes things easier to understand :)

If you have the first Monster Hunter Freedom, you can transfer your old save file onto the new one, keeping some items that are allowed to be transferred.

In conclusion, this is a MUST-GET!!!!

Monster Hunter Freedom on steroids
It's quite difficult to review this game without spraying superlatives everywhere, so I'll try to be measured.

This is the latest in a unique series of games. They combine a number of different game types into a mesmerising whole:
- an hunting/combat simulator
- an extraordinarily deep item crafting system
- "Harvest Moon"-style farming and resource management

Everything supports everything else perfectly. Hey! I've just mined my third bit of Iron Ore from the farm - that means I can upgrade my Hunter's Knife so that I can take on that bigger varmint that has been walloping me previously, and when I kill HIM I can carve him for scales and teeth which I can take to the armourer to make better armour so that I can take on his bigger relative... and so on.

It would all be pointless if the actual combat was poor. It isn't; it's blindingly good. A lot of reviewers complained about the first MHF because they didn't "get it". They wanted a lock-on, or didn't like the fact that the camera doesn't point everywhere at once. They missed the point completely. If you get into a situation where you are trying to look everywhere at once - you've screwed up and you're going to get it where it hurts. The camera is actually very responsive, but it won't protect you if you've misjudged what you can take on at once. This isn't an FPS.

The weapons handle beautifully, all very different (there are LOTS of types of weapons all handling completely unlike each other and requiring totally different strategies, but even within the classes "flavours" of weapon allow differing approaches as they have different strengths and weaknesses).

The item creation system is staggeringly deep. There are thousands of items here, all different, all with different stats, all reacting with each other in different ways. But it's completely accessible - it starts off easy and just keeps unfolding. You'll end up with a cupboard full of different weapons, armour and items, each tailored to whatever you're going to hunt. And you've sweated for every single one of them.

As soon as you get onto the big boys - the wyverns - every mission plays out like a tremendously exciting boss battle, with minor triumphs and setbacks building as the clock ticks down; you wound it - it runs away limping - did you remember to paintball it? - can you get to it before it sleeps enough to heal up? And all of these animals seem extraordinarily alive, in (for example) the same way that Nintendogs seem alive. Except that these have huge teeth and breathe fire - Nintendragons maybe.

I played the first game for an unbelievably long time (I had 180 hours on the clock when I stopped playing rather because I felt that I should than for any other reason). This one is twice as big and seems a little bit harder, particularly considering that I started off with an item box stuffed with useful kit that I'd brought from my MHF game save (nice touch).

Incidentally, this is graphically the best game on the system. Daxter? Ratchet and Clank? Snake? WipeOut? Burnout? Anyone else? Forget it - got 'em, played 'em, loved 'em, this is better. Astonishingly beautiful, the animation is breathtaking, the whole thing is polished to perfection.

I explained to my mates that as far as I was concerned, if the PSP had only been able to run MHF and no other software then it would still be worth buying. This is even more the case for MHF2. I have had more golden "OMFG" gaming moments playing MHF and MHF2 than I have any other game ever, and I've been playing games on every format since my ZX Spectrum back in 1984.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. If you like deep RPGs with really really good combat and weapons you wish you could hang on your bedroom wall, this is the business. No zombies, goblins or skeletons. Just bloody great dragons.

Oh, and there are cats that cook for you.

This Game is AMAZING!
I am 13 years old. I got a PSP 2 years ago when it first came out in the UK, I have been bored for a very long time and unable to find a good game that keeps you occupied for ages and that you dont complete after about 20 minutes.

Monster Hunter 2 Freedom changed EVERYTHING! My friend also has this game and it is great coming back to school after the weekend and saying "Look what i got!!!" this game is just amazing and if anything less than amazing was said about this game is a lie. I have played this game for 90+ hours and yet im not even a quarter of the way through! this game keeps me very well entertained when im bored around the house and at lunch time at school with my friend.

There are 2 different kinds of quests on Monster Hunter 2 Freedom:
"The Village quests" (which you get from the village chief)
and "The Guild Quests" (which you get from entering the guild)

you can do the guild quests on your own OR you can link up with your friend and do quests together! There is so much to do on this game its unbelievable how Jam-Packed it is with goodies.

There are so many different weapons, from he Acountor Bow to the teddybear hammer! there are so many different weapons in this game. You slowly unlock weapons as you progress through the game.

OVERALL:
This game is THE game to get for the PSP. You can play as either a girl OR a boy character so its good fun for everyone. A must have for Christmas! (MUMS AND DADS if you have a son or a daughter with a PSP get them this!)
