This game is amazing. you hunt animals (ie dinosaurs, dragons, dozens of other things) to eat. you hunt animals for weapons. you hunt animals for armor. you gather resources to heal you. you gather resources for ammo. you can combine materials. you have lances, great swords, duel swords, bow guns, shot guns, small sword and shield, you can make bombs and traps. hundreds of hrs. of game play and 100% replayable. and ur character and some items get transfered to monster hunter freedom 2.

not so hard

This is a fun game with great graphics. It's definitely the best T-rated game out there for the PSP. There's lots to do on your quests, and I like the personalization it has. You can choose your look, weapons, and armor. The most important part is that this game isn't as hard as the other reviews say. This is a great buy.

Awsome

MOnster hunter freedom is my favorite game of all time. it is so fun. the action won't stop. There are also so many cool armor and weapons. IN this game you fight a lot of creatures. In this you you migh get stuck. Later you might be able to pass it after you keep on trying.

100% Awesome

Monster Hunter isn't for everyone, that's for certain. Capcom has made this game with a very specific audience in mind: Hardcore gamers. The game is nothing BUT hardcore.

You start off as a rookie hunter being taught the ways of the hunt by the village elder, he gives you a few quests right off the bat that are fairly mundane like gathering mushrooms and cooking meat which may seem boring to some, but to people new to the game it's a very necessary learning process that will help you get used to the controls.

Once you fight your first monster it gets more and more intense as the difficulty and size of the monsters increases. At times it'll seem impossible to defeat them but when you strike that final blow and the adrenaline pumping through your body starts to calm down you get such a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that you can't help but think: "I wonder what's next" From Velociprey to Fatalis this game keeps you riveted from start to finish.

and don't listen to the guys reviewing it that say the camera sucks. The camera is amazing, you just have to know how to use it and when to use it. in some areas the default setting for the camera will leave you at a disadvantage, so you have to learn to change it. know when to use the L button to center it. Know when to use the D-pad to swing it around. It's all about timeing and skill.

and the load times... Come on. we've had worse, and they're no longer than they were on the PS2 version. if anything they're actually a little shorter.

100/100

if you like games buy it. Period. You owe it to yourself as a gamer at least to try. 90% of Japan can't be wrong.

This game is awesome

This game is too complicated and isn't as fun as an average person may think. The point of the game is to kill monsters- end of story. Dull and boring

Borderline Mediocre....and that's bad.

Monster Hunter Freedom has its good and bad moments. There are 1000s of items, equipment, 100s of monsters, areas, and good stuff like that. You can trade, buy, sell, combine items (1000s of combinations), cook, garden, fish, and many other things. Now for the monster hunting, it's extremely boring. It's very choppy and has a "cheap" feeling to it. Your character can't perform much tricks, except just struggle to lift a huge bone sword and slice the monster. The continous boring fight system becomes a dread. Each fighting area is very small, but you can go into other areas which comes with a 15-20 second load time. That's not that bad of a load time, but the fact that each area is very small is what makes it annoying. There's probably over 300+ hours of gameplay, and I could not be able to finish it all with the boring hunting. I can definitely see how some people love this game, however, this isn't my "cup of tea." An incredible dissapointment...1/5

just my personal opinion

I love this game even I've only played it for 13 total hours. So far it is my favorite game of my 9 PSP games.

This gift was for my son for Christmas. He loved the gift and I dont think it has left his side so far. It arrived on time and was exactly as listed. Thank you.

I expected nothing from this game...

but was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it actually was. I had heard that it received bad reviews after purchasing it for a trip I was going on. I ended up playing it and found it difficult to put down. Game play is fairly straight forward. Equip yourself with the proper equipment, select the mission then go kill everything you see. Pros and Cons:

Pros:
1. Has a fairly decent selection of character parts to customize your character to your wants.
2. Weaponry customization and upgrading is surprisingly vast. I had no idea so many weapons were going to be available.
3. Mission availability is very nice.
4. Graphics are pretty unbelievable for the PSP.
5. Items are everywhere. And harvesting kills is a cool feature.

Cons:
1. Controls are kind of unintuitive.
2. Targeting system is nonexistent
3. Stats and mission requirements are fairly difficult to understand. Lots of reading required in order to understand what it is you are supposed to do.

All in all this game is very worthwhile. I'm going to purchase part 2 now simply because this one was that much fun.
