The popular fantasy action franchise Monster Hunter is now one of the most iconic gaming series in the world selling over 21 million copies worldwide since the series began in 2004. Players take on the role of a hunter and are sent to explore a settlement within the Monster Hunter universe, completing quests on their journey to seek and slay monsters whilst improving their skills and earning equipment upgrades. With many challenging monsters and over 200 quests the latest edition to the series is set to be the most expansive offering to date. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate utilizes the functionalities of the Nintendo 3DS system to provide players with a truly intuitive hunting experience. The touch screen feature allows players to quickly access in-game books, weapons, field maps and mini games whilst the high quality graphics 3D visuals of Nintendo 3DS powered by the latest iteration of Capcom's MT Framework deliver a unique and stunning world for players to explore. Taking advantage of the portability of Nintendo 3DS, players can exchange their guild card that contains all their hunter's information with other players via StreetPass. Players can experience the world of Monster Hunter alone or in four player local play using Nintendo 3DS. Finding nearby hunters to adventure on quests with is now even easier via the local Nintendo 3DS search feature. Wii U players will be able to enjoy the hunt with Nintendo 3DS players via a local wireless connection. Gamers that own both a Wii U and Nintendo 3DS can take advantage of the inter compatibility of save data between the two consoles, taking the hunt from the living room wherever they go.

178 Hours of Painful Joy
After playing through the first two Monster Hunter generations, I'm all too aware of how much the game likes to screw over and be otherwise unfriendly to single player gamers.

Read moreAfter playing through the first two Monster Hunter generations, I'm all too aware of how much the game likes to screw over and be otherwise unfriendly to single player gamers. That's why the third one came off as a shock - barring the beautiful graphical changes (on a 3DS!) and the ease of (at least local) multiplayer gameplay that brought fun with friends for the first time to me in the series, the game is actually welcoming and somewhat playable in comparison to the Freedom games. Yes, the game does get unnecessarily boring and difficult alone and is plagued by questionable design decisions, but the multiplayer as well as single player can actually be managed by a player with enough will and effort. The feeling of taking down one of these beasts, whether it be a Lagiacrus, Brachydios, or Dire Miralis fills the player with much joy after careful preparation, a careful strategy, and banging one's head against the wall. It's definitely something to be enjoyed more as a group, but this generation finally puts something that will give all its wonders to the player with enough mettle and masochism to make it work. And oddly enough, it makes it a lot more fun and passes the time away! 178 hours, to be exact!

On that note, considering picking up the Wii U version for the save sharing and online.

Decided to update my rating on this game from a 4 to a 5. On the last set of missions, this game is totally badass.
