Monster Hunter Freedom 2 (PSP)

This game was originally launched in Japan, and later in North America to a small audience.
Although, that may be changing, it is actually quite deserving of attention for many reasons.

Gameplay: The gameplay in itself consists of several factors, such as gathering, slaying, and most importantly hunting. Although some might find the controls on the psp to be cumbersome, to me it is genius. Considering that there are limited buttons to work with on the psp. Gathering will have the player running about the gorgeous locations in search of resources. In example: honey, bones, and hides. Such items can the be used to make, armor, swords, bow, guns, and even its ammunition.


Slaying consists of the player battling a number of enemies.

Hunting is the real agenda of this game. Usually, players must not only bring their item for these quests, but also their skills, in order to defeat massive boss characters, such as Yian-kut-ku, Khezu, and the feared Tigrex. Hunting will test the skill of any gamer, and may go on to the very last minutes. (You are given a set amount of time to complet missions, usually fifty minutes.) This can lead to climactic battles of epic proportions.


Graphics: The graphics in this game are easily the best that are seen on the psp. I have yet to see better than this on the psp. Not only that, but the locations in which the player will traverse are just beautiful to look at.

Sound: The sound in this game is ambient. Such as birds chirping, a noisy forest, or the deep rumblings within a volcano. It is nicely done, and one should listen to a great battle occurring within a cave, it will give you an idea of how good the sound is.

If you own a psp, then this is a must have title for the handheld, and is yet to be beat by any other.
