Product description

 

Monster Hunter 3 sees the introduction of an expansive story mode with players taking on the role of a hunter, who is tasked by the Village Chief to investigate the constant earthquakes that threaten the everyday life of Moga village. A bustling and vibrant town, Moga is home to the hunter and includes a Blacksmith for forging weapons and armour, a shop where items can be purchased and an expanded farm with Felynes acting as labourers and tending the crops. The incentive to complete quests is now no longer limited to the collection of items and money with which the hunter can create or upgrade armour and weapons. Successful hunts have a real and visible impact on the status of Moga Village as on returning home quest items are used to repair damage caused by the earthquakes resulting in happier and more active villagers.

Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) is an action role-playing game (RPG) from Capcom. The first iteration of the popular Monster Hunter franchise to make an appearance on the Wii platform, action in it revolves around quest based gameplay involving the hunting and capture of monsters as a means of character development. The game features multiple modes of co-op gameplay—both online and offline—new monsters and weapons classes, multiple controller options and Wii Speak and text chat player communication support. This bundle includes the Wii Classic Controller Pro, developed with input from Capcom.

Story
Monster Hunter Tri is set in a massive, sublime land where humans and monsters coexist. You play the role of an up-and-coming hunter who must accomplish various quests to achieve glory and help the residents of their village survive. Do you have the courage to hunt the monsters that roam your world? It won’t be easy – the monsters are strong and numerous. Yet by hunting together with friends, or fighting the good fight solo, there is no monster that cannot be defeated.

Gameplay
Monster Hunter Tri is an action RPG centered around players' expertise with the various weapon sets available in-game to take down the plethora of monsters that fill the gameworld, including underwater environments. Hunters can track monsters, set traps for them and either capture or slay them when they are encountered. In single player mode players can select a hunter of either gender, choose from a variety of weapons classes and set off with a crew of AI companions referred to as ChaCha. When a monster is slain, the hunter can carve off their horns, scales and bones, which can be used to create a huge variety of weapons and armor. These items can be bought or crafted by giving the village blacksmith materials and a fee. With success comes upgrades both for yourself and your ChaCha companion.

Co-op Multiplayer
Utilizing the graphics and wireless capabilities made possible by Wii, Monster Hunter Tri allows for a unparalleled co-op gameplay experience, both online and offline. Players can hunt in groups as large as four players online, or two players offline (split-screen). Co-op play is split between two modes: Open-world hunts and Arena mode. Open-world hunts allow players to explore the Monster Hunter world, taking on the creatures they seek wherever they may be found. The caveat is that within this mode players, as well as monsters, can retreat and even escape bad situations regenerating to fight another day. Players who fall in these clashes will respawn nearby, and as long as one of their party remains alive the monster(s) faced will retain the level of damage inflicted upon them before the player's death. Arena mode is similar in most ways to Open-world hunts except that battles take place in set arena settings where there is no retreat for either side, making it a battle to the death. Communication between players in either mode is facilitated via Wii Speak and text chat support.

Multiple Controller Support
Monster Hunter Tri features a wide array of controller configurations and options. These include: Wii Remote and Nunchuk, Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro. Each features in-depth mapping of questing and weapons classes. And finally the Wii Remote allows the ability to save your character’s information directly to it, just as is possible with Miis, so you’re always ready to play at a friend’s house.

    Different creatures and some interesting upgrades, I was disappointed with this title overall. I own Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for the PSP which is a much, much better game. NA fans have been looking for a way to get back online since the MH servers were shut down some time again. It was nice to talk to some old friends, but it really wasn't a ground breaking experience for the series. In some ways, the series took a step back. Overall, the game is worth playing and the only way to play with the masses.

    « Best online experience on the Wii »
    Anyone who enjoys indepth adventures and being able to play with your friends online should buy this game. It is a little slow in the beginning, but becomes super addictive and you'll want to come back to it over and over again. The variety of weapons and armor that are all upgradable give you endless possibilities. Three months in and I'm still discovering things in the game.

    « As a newbie, I love this game!. »
    Ever since I bought a Wii, I've been looking for a game that matched most of my insterests, I've played quite a few, but never came upon the Monster Hunter titles.
    Despite been brand new to this game and just recently purchased, I think of it as a Zelda on Steroids.
    So far I'm enjoying the missions, or just snooping around the woods or lakes, killing beasts and collecting items to increase not only your character's income, but also to build up your abilities.
    I have not yet tried out the online experience, since I want to get a handle of it a bit more, but am looking forward to it.
    The graphics for a non HD game console such as the Wii are simply superb, I have the HD cables so the images are now pixelated which makes them more smooth and better quality than the ordinary A/V cables.
    The dressing of the character is a bit lame, could be better, but overall, if you are into epic battle games, beast (monster) hunting, than this is your tyoe of game, if these are not your interests, you might not like it that much.
    In conclusion, Monster Hunter really Rocks!!

    « It's all been said before, but this is an addicting game »
    I'll refer you to the many other lengthy and more well thought out reviews on Monster Hunter Tri here on Amazon to get a detailed overview of the game. I would like to ad my vote on the "this game is amazing" side of things.

    With this bundle you get the game and the now indispensable classic controller pro. There really is no other way to play this game....I've tried. (well the regular classic controller works fine but the wii-mote and nunchuck combo is severely lacking in precision).

    The game itself is an incredibly deep, strategic, beautiful, and engrossing experience. It's like "action chess" or something. You have to really think and watch your timing to beat the game's increadible monsters. The controls are hard to master, but feel just right when you get the hang of it. The character and monster animations are spot on, and the scenery is fantastic. The loading times between areas of the map break up the experience but if that is the price i have to pay for such stunning visuals, then so be it.

    This game hasn't left my wii since I've purchased it on release day. Fun and lengthy single player keeps you entertained but the wonderfully implemented online play keeps you coming back again and again, especially if you have other friends with the game. I recommend getting a keyboard or wiispeak since the in-game keyboard is a chore for communication.

    Get this game (and the bundle with the controller if you can). Even at full price the cost per hour of amazing entertainment is really unbeatable.

    « Well Worth It. »
    The game is much like the previous installments. The online portion of the game has a few minor flaws. Frame rate slowdown occurs quite frequently when playing with multiple people. Also, the connection to the servers can be spotty at times, which can be helped by opening the proper ports on your wireless router. Finally, the last problem with the online portion is the amount of players that can be in each room. Only 4 people can join a quest but there should be at least 8 people in the cities before quests.

    Despite those minor flaws the game is still very fun and rewarding to play. But I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone who doesn't can't commit at least 100 hrs. into the game.
