Combat problems can be alleviated by the four-player local co-op mode, but finding four friends with a PSP let alone a copy of this game may prove tricky. Sadly, even when you do manage to master a particular weapon the lack of a lock-on function will hamper your progress no end. If knowing yourself better is part of growing up, I don't enjoy this sort of game anymore.Ĭombat is belligerently tricky, and with eleven weapon types it's difficult to become rounded enough to give you a varied approach when faced with different enemies. The problem is, neither part is much fun unless you are desperate to spend your waking hours in pursuit of a virtual quarry. Outfitting your character with the correct equipment and items is just as important as setting out into the field and gutting your prey with a freshly crafted long-knife.
The game is segregated into two distinct halves - preparation and undertaking. Harvesting animal parts for the next item upgrade is both frustrating and demoralizing and rarely yields the desired result. Grinding is the key to success in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. But five hours in you'll hit the wall as missions become utterly insurmountably. Initially, this is not particularly arduous, and you'll find that carving up various animals and stitching their hinds together to make a nifty pair of boots is quite easy. Without any great introduction your character is placed in a small village and expected to intrepidly step out into the wilderness to kill or capture the local wildlife. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite seems content with keeping plot to a bare minimum. The pleasure never came instead I was greeted with drab menus, item lists and a camera whose main aim was to scupper my attempts at success at every given opportunity. Freedom Unite is the series' third outing on the PSP and, as I loaded the disk into my console, I waiting for the clouds to part and to be whisked away on a wave of euphoric pleasure. First released in 2004 on the PlayStation 2, the franchise's popularity grew to an almost religious status in Japan, and won a dedicated cult following in the West.
Monster Hunter is an obsession for those it can ensnare. Perfect for a teenage me, but I don't think another addictive collect em' up is what my life needs at the moment. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite's limitless depth pairs it with extremists, gluttons for punishment and obsessive compulsives.
