Tri is the Wii version of the long running Japanese action/strategy game that was previously found on Sony's PSP handheld console. Those who have played older Monster Hunter games will remember the intense challenge the series offers. Ostensibly a role-playing-game, Monster Hunter sets you the task of chatting to village locals before heading into the wilderness to seek out and dispatch hundreds of different "monsters".
Monster Hunter World is close to releasing, which means it’s no better time to reminisce and look back at some of the best Monster Hunter games that came before it.
Goomba Stomp: "In Japan, the Monster Hunter series is something of a legend. Every gamer worth their salt in Japan knows about Monster Hunter, as each new iteration in the franchise, is met with high critique and commercial success. However, this is not the case over here in the States. The first time I had ever even heard of the franchise was a preview for the series’ third installment, Monster Hunter Tri, in Nintendo Power. The idea of hunting giant beasts with an online team seemed like a really cool concept to me, especially when I learned of how well the series was received overseas. Little did I know that Tri would go on to become the single greatest experience I have ever had with an online multiplayer game."
It's like drugs, people who haven't try it looks at it like it's some kind of outlandish, weird thing they'll never understand why people are addicted to it. But once you try it, preferably with friends... suddenly you have 200 hours logged in in just a short time you'll never guess it's a capcom game.
too bad they chose to release it on a niche platform in the west, if only capcom has the brain to upgrade the graphic and release it on PS4/XB1 I'm willing to bet it'll be as huge as overwatch, only you won't be bored as fast.
Its funny because even though i know Generations is exactly the same as Monster Hunter 4, just with even less story and the addition of Arts, its still addicting as hell. There's just something about it. The preparation before going out to fight a particular monster is probably my favorite aspect of the games.
Knowing your enemy and what weapons, tools, and items to bring is something missing from a lot of games that is done really well in this series. That strategic feeling before the actuall nonstop action begins once you find the monster is unlike any other game that I've played.
With recent release of Monster Hunter Generations, Bit Cultures lists out our Top 10 Monsters from the series. From the terrifying to the hilariously named.
They also forgot to mention that the game was also on the PS2, also the learning curve is still quite steep even when online as the monsters are generally tougher. Not to mention that most players are unforgiving most of the time (at least from what I witnessed in Ad-hoc party).
Not quite the in-depth review some might come to expect but it gets to the heart of the matter and that is all that matters I suppose. Either way Tomorrow finally! -- tired of playing the demo now..
[edit] Why 3/5 :|?
Will wait for the Gametrailers review
This game should have been on the PS3. This game will BOMB on the Nintendo Wii. Then they will hurry thier asses off to get it in some form on the ps3. Mark these words down.
End of Line.
Wii game getting low scores? Who knew?!
That is the score I would give it, maybe lower, I couldn't stand the game an its poor controls.
I played the demo an after 4mins I broken the disc an threw it away, theirs a small list of Wii games I like an most of them are Mario an Zelda, but this was the worst Wii game I played (Played, theirs game far worst then this).
