Monster Hunter Freedom

"If you were a fan of the original Monster Hunter, and you are thinking of buying this game, just take into account that the online aspect has been completely erased and there is nothing left but a few cool weapons and dragons."

"By neglecting to address the fundamental problems of the original and slicing out the online play, Monster Hunter Freedom negates the few improvements it makes to its PlayStation 2 predecessor."

"Monster Hunter Freedom delivers what fans want in a portable game. It’s not a perfect translation, as it suffers from overly long load times and quests, but these issues don’t ruin the experience. And while it’s unfortunate that Freedom shipped without an online mode, the single-player campaign and multiplayer mode have enough content to produce more than 100 hours of gameplay. It’s one of the longest, most involved titles on the system."

"The meat of the game is customization, and it will keep you going for a long, long time. "

"To sum up: have you ever played a game and felt like it hated you, and yet you just kept going back to it anyway? That's been my experience with Monster Hunter Freedom since the first time I picked it up."
