Monster Hunter

What's this, then? Action game? Multiplayer? Online?

Not seen it before...

Well, it was easy to miss it at E3. And TGS. It's a multiplayer action game with a PSO-ish touch. You have to well, hunt monsters, but some are quite large and powerfull, and the trailers seem to point out cooperation and trapping techniques, rather then massive party-like attacks. Looks tempting, and isn't ugly, to say the least.

The more I see of this game, the more I want it! For a PS2 it just looks great and online will be so much fun we in Europe deserve innovation like this from Capcom.

Looks very interesting. To bad that all the "monsters" are dinosaurs/dragons.

Would have been nice with something a bit more varied and horror-ish. Like "Monster Inc." minus the cuteness.

Be quiet, you're dead.

Looks good what's it about..? When will it be out in the UK...? These look like Xbox screen shots....!!!
BIG MA: What language do the monsters roar in...?

So it's basically Turok on-line, who's the developer..? It must be one cool game if a dead man like Bob Marley is getting excited. Unless it's him out of A Christmas Carol......?

can someone give me a summary of this game i have planned for this game and i want to know what it is about

I've been playng the USA import (offline due to DNAS error -402) the last 3 weeks, and I have to say, this game is absolutely incredible.

From both a technical and atmospheric point of view this game really delivers. The moment you leave your tiny camp and see your first vista I guarantee you'll be checking to make sure it's only your PS2 running the game. :)

The sense of ongoing ecology and random life cycles Mhunter conjures is utterly convincing....from the grazing herbivores, wandering boars and bizzare Cat race miaowing about their dailly business in the marshes (who occasionally mug you for items) to the randomly perching lethal dragon who flies over the huge landscapes, sometimes coming to rest in the most unexpected of iddylic zones.

I'm currently at the beginning of the third suite of offline quests, with the 'urgent' quest of hunting and killing the King Blue Velocidrome...a kind of 'Raptor-a-like. God, it's a toughy!

Armed with my 12 foot (I kid ye not) cumbersome iron sword, a couple of timed barrel grenades, a few monster-blinding flash bombs, and a few evasive moves and health-ups, you have to keep the head 'Drome's lackies at bay, while damaging the leader, all the while making sure he doesn't slip away to another zone where he'll heal to 100% in an instant...meaning all your work was for nought. Terrific real time gamepad-breaking fun!

The excellent real time combat dynamic is offset against the game's beardy RPG side-quests, like herb/ berry gathering, fishing (beautifully tranquil and superbly realised)/ cooking and general atmospheric exploration...Oh yes, and all the weapon/ armour buying/ selling / upgrading. The game shifts gears through all the moods and gameplay styles utterly seamlessly, and links it all together with a really refreshing sense of humour (cat people who speed your unconscious body on cart-back only to dump you unceremoniously back at camp, and a comical running animation from your character when spotted by a boss saurus...for example).

The bizzare mix of mythical/ prehistoric/ sci-fi/ sword & sorcery makes for one of the most captivating game worlds I've wandered around in a long time. I'm almost cussing HL2's arrival next week, because obviously Mhunter is going to have to be shelved out of respect...

As a sign of how much I rate it I'll be buying it AGAIN on its April 2005 PAL release, because I quite simply HAVE to take this game online!

This is kinda late, but the clan that I was previously creating/recruting is now closed, sorry for everyone that wanted (if anybody did) to join. =)

Unless they've replaced the godawful 8-way aiming I couldn't recommend this game to anyone.
