Wii U User Reviews

أستطيع القول بأن هذا الجزء لم يأخذ نصيبه الكافي من المديح خاصة نسخة الوي يو التي تقدم طريقة لعب استثنائية مع الجيم باد، بالإضافة إلى كونها لعبة تصنف هي الأفضل بالنسبة لي في السلسلة مقارنة بباقي الأجزاء الأخرى.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is a somewhat acquired taste, having many awkward mechanics like swimming along with some seemingly ridiculous hitboxes among other things. These issues, however, either aren't as significant as they may seem, such as with hitboxes as they aren't as bad as they are made out to be, or they grow on you and actually become a positive, like with underwater combat. Concerning the underwater mechanics, it is undeniably a massive debuff to the player to fight underwater, incentivizing players to wait for monsters to come out of the water or outright avoid such fights; however, while the hunter is weakened in the water and water monsters are greatly strengthened, the change in power dynamic can actually be very enjoyable if you are willing to try it out, having to face the monster on its own terms before fighting it on land and being able to turn the tables. Aside from these mechanics, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has a phenomenal roster of monsters that are enjoyable to experience as you work through the game. Until Monster Hunter World, this was also one of the better monster hunter games graphically, running on the Wii U, and it overall still hold up fairly well, looking quite nice despite the limited system.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is an incredible experience for it's time. Combat - The combat system is where Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate truly shines. Every action carries weight, encouraging players to approach battles with careful planning. Unlike its successors, this installment demands tactical thinking, adding a layer of depth that keeps you on your toes. Each decision matters, from choosing the right weapon to timing your attacks, making the combat intensely satisfying. Strategic Planning - Preparation is key! The game emphasizes the importance of gearing up for missions. Gathering flash bombs, barrel bombs, and other essentials significantly impacts your success. Players must study maps, memorize monster behaviors, and select the right equipment, transforming the game into a strategic adventure. This aspect sets it apart, providing a unique challenge compared to other action games. Map Design - The game's maps are a visual treat, boasting stunning environments and well-crafted layouts. However, navigation can be a double-edged sword. While the intricate paths and hidden areas enhance exploration, many maps have areas with limiting exits which lead to occasional monotony. Players might find themselves repeatedly running through the same routes, especially when gathering specific items or fighting the same monster. Despite this minor inconvenience, the map design contributes to the game's overall charm. missions - Variety is the spice of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate's quests! Each mission tells a story, whether it's saving a kingdom by hunting a menacing Rathalos. However, the game struggles to convey the urgency and drama effectively, often contrasting serious narratives with light-hearted music and playful Shakalakas. Despite this mismatch, the missions offer a diverse range of fights, ensuring players never get bored. Weapons and Skills -The weapon and skill system is a highlight! Players can choose from 12 styles of weapons, each with unique attributes and combat styles. The skill system, while complex, adds depth. Acquiring skill points through armor allows players to customize their hunter's abilities, offering a rewarding learning curve for those willing to delve into its intricacies. Underwater Combat - The underwater combat mechanic is a bold attempt at innovation. While it introduces verticality and fresh challenges, the execution falls short in some areas. It adds an extra layer of complexity to battles, but the controls and camera angles can be frustrating, impacting the overall enjoyment of these segments. Verdict - Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is a masterpiece for players seeking a gameplay-focused adventure. Its tactical combat, strategic planning, and diverse missions provide an immersive experience. While the storytelling and underwater combat could use some refinement, the game's strengths far outweigh its weaknesses

I played MH3U for the first time in 2022 and I was surprised to find people online that were willing to help me out! Sometimes a whole part of 4 hunters. That was an unexpected treat. There are some aspects that haven't aged the best, but overall the atmosphere of this game is really cozy when it isn't trying to body you.

Putting aside the ludicrous amount of hatred towards the WiiU, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate was one of the best installments the series saw. With new monsters such as the Brachydios, and elder dragons such as Jhen Mohran, monster hunter 3 saw a slew of memorable additions to the crew. And let’s not forget the water mechanics, that first cut scene in the water with Lagiacrus gave me chills. As someone who spent roughly 600 hours playing this game: 1. I obviously had no friends, 2. I think this game is one of the greatest installments for the MonsterHunter franchise.

My first MH game and sorry to everyone out there but I dont mind fighting and swimming. Kind of miss it nowadays.

Very Good. A high quality Console monster hunter game. This is a must for all Monster hunter fans even if the underwater combat is a little irritating, it grows on you after a while.

Un título extremadamente recomendable lleno de un gran desafío gráficas hermosas bestias y dragones majestuosos y un sistema de juego extremadamente adictivo Esto es lo que te espera en Monster Hunter 3 . Para ambas versiones ya sea en el 3DS o en El Nintendo Wii U ambos títulos te dejarán un excelente sabor de boca un juego con una rejugabilidad bastante elevada y que te dará más de 100 horas de juego infinidad de armas y armaduras para crear, infinidad de misiones y su misiones qué te dejarán sin aliento. Un excelente sistema cooperativo de hasta 4 jugadores ya sea local oa través de internet. Altamente recomendable.

El juego es espetacular, pero me parece que capcom debio mejorar su detalle de texturas para la version de wiiu, es wii se me genial, pero en wiiu no, es el unico defecto que tengo para el juego

I clearly just didn't get this one. Sounded like something I would like, reviews were positive, got it on **** good until I actually tried playing it. Endless painful dialog, terrible graphics, and just a total lack of fun. But like I said, I must have missed something entirely, or gave up too quickly.

good but becomes amazing when u play online with friends. prolly only good online co-op game on wii u kek. also buff sns capcom you idiots and fix water combat

La experiencia de juego al cazar mostruos cada vez más difíciles y agresivos es indescriptible. Tengo más de setecientas horas de juego en este título. Recomendado para aquellos que gustan de sentir adrenalina pura.

Completely amazing. Everything from the detail on the monsters and the surroundings to the advanced armor skills system that can do anything from allowing you to eat raw meat to know when a monster is ready to be trapped, the game has everything that could be added without it being to overwhelming. good weapon types that are so well made they each need there own tutorials with amazingly complex upgrade trees. the story although not the strong part of the game is still quite interesting and makes you want to win. And with enough monsters and quests to keep you entertained for hours in the village alone. My playtime is way over 600 hours and i'm only hr 67 when I've seen some in the great multiplayer have reached the max of 999, but I'm not going to talk about the multiplayer because that is just to fun and enjoyable to put into words.

Clunky movement, clunky camera control, bad introduction. They should call this Control Hunter or Camera Fighter cause thats what youll be doing most of the time. Theyre both terrible and at times makes it unplayable Hunting gets tedious and frustrating fast when the game decides to handicap the player to ridiculous extent. It's extremely disappointing to have such a great game completely ruined over and over again while playing because some programmer decided to phone in their job requirements. You'll constantly find yourself being beaten senseless by air and shadows as a monster clearly passes by you by several feet and yet you consistently take damage.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is one of the best action RPG'S of all time. The game has great gameplay, a great feel and it is an amazing adventure. I would recommend it to anyone who has a 3DS or a wii U

The graphics arn't that good, but you'll bet the gameplay can beat many linear triple A games to date! It's creative, fun, and complex wIth many stats and items to craft.

Pros: + Online Multiplayer (it makes this game) + Great monster design + super deep game + tons of weapons, items, upgrades + item crafting + 3DS/Wii U communication Cons: - single player is bland - map broken into small pieces and loading screens - grind, grind, grind - showing age

This is essentially the exact same game as Monster Hunter Tri released on the Wii. I own both games now and I have to say the HD increase is very minimal. The game is supposedly larger with more quests and creatures but the game is so huge its also a minimal improvement. The largest change to the game is in the options for displaying your quests, map and inventory. There are options for playing around with your HUD essentially. Essentially the changes to this game were just to adapt the same game from the Wii to the Wii U. Although technically better and bigger I am actually downsizing my score from the Wii version because the Wii U is more powerful and they did not make next generation changes that are important. Without question if you have both discs this one is the one to keep however it is still disappointing this is the same game repackaged just a little bit different. If you are new to monster hunter this is an awesome game if you are coming from the Wii and already own the game it would not hurt to save your money and pass on this. You already own the important stuff and the changes here are not drastic enough to warrant spending more money on something you already own.

I was putting off getting in to monster hunter until monster hunter 4 comes to Australia but I got this free with my wii u. This was my first monster hunter title and while I didn't get hooked and put in hundreds of hours I still really enjoyed my time with it. It could have been better if the villages and game play in between monster fights were more fleshed out/stream lined but once you get going with a hunt it is really a unique experience and feels great to play. I had so many tense moments and the monster designs are simply top notch.

I know very little about this series but somebody said it was amazing but I'm playing a "next gen" console- so why does this feel like an old clunky DS game from 2007?

Hands down one of the best games I have ever played. The combat is the best I've ever seen as it is 90% of what you are doing and never gets old. The game is hundreds of hours long and can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be., and the online, while archaic at points, is some of the most fun I've ever had in a video game. That's what this game is. Fun. Who doesn't want to run up to a giant monster and hit it with a sword three times larger than the monster you're hitting it with (an exaggeration, of course). It's fantastic. Everything about it is marvelous, except for the graphics. They aren't bad, but they aren't changed much from the Wii version. However, it also shows us how good the Wii version looked. Get it if you can. It's worth it.

Good lord, this game is a real mess. I've never played any MH games but I've heard nothing but praise for this game and after playing, I really don't see why. The game is mostly about fighting big, impressive looking boss monsters that require skill to beat. While the idea is nice in theory, it fails horrible in execution. Gameplay and animations are very slow, and stiff which makes the game feel dated. Half of the weapons in the game are very tedious to use in single player due to very low attack power which means these weapons aren't very good unless you're playing multiplayer. There are always time limits when fighting boss monsters which is stupid considering how killing them can often take up to 30 minutes or a hour. It doesn't matter how close you were to killing that boss, if you can't do it within the time limit, you'll have to waste another hour trying again. Sometimes bosses can feel cheap, like constantly stunning you for 5 minutes. Underwater combat is terrible and makes fights drag on for too long. Sometimes you're forced to fight huge monsters in very small areas which makes dodging near impossible at times. The reason why people say they get so many hours out of this game is because you're forced to fight the same monsters over and over to craft weapons and gear. You also have to collect materials to craft things like potions and other items. The boss fighting and material collecting wouldn't be so bad is it weren't literally the only things you do in the game. There is no story, no interesting characters, no big open world to explore, no interesting combat system, no skills to learn. It's a constant grind for more weapons and items with slow, tedious animations and punishing gameplay. It feels a lot like a generic mmo, except slightly more exciting.

I have over 600 hours in this game. Yeah. That is abnormal for me, most games I simply play through once and put down. If you have a Wii-U there is no excuse to skip over the best co-op online experience on the system.

Best game I've ever played. EVER. IN MY LIFE. This is what video games are all about people. THIS is the real deal. Idk what to say. If you're a casual, don't bother. The game isn't "hard", it just has a steep learning curve. If you invest the time to learn the game, learn the mechanics, learn how to hunt, you will be rewarded immensely. Most people who look on this game unfavorably just don't invest the time. This isn't a pick up and play platformer. This is the Dark Souls of the Wii U. This is for those who want a REWARDING gaming experience. Play the game.

I finally picked this game up, waited until it was $20, and I love it. It has been a long time since I've been this addicted to a game. I came into MH3 ultimate totally new, never having played a Monster Hunter game. I'm blown away by the amount of content. From the # and depth of weapon upgrades, to the # and variety of skills and monsters. It's overwhelming. As much as I love the game I can't see myself ever coming close to finishing. The game's faults are trival: the graphics are not the sharpest we have seen on the Wii U. The gamepad is wasted, and one fault that is actually quite amazing is that there is so much to learn and do that it's difficult to know what to begin using, how and when, so a better online guide would be in order, but perhaps Capcom wants it that way so they can sell their own guides.

Nothing entirely clicks and there's just too much boredom. Everything related to the town and menus are enough to put me to sleep. Battles are alright, control a little stiff but i can see what they were going for i guess. You can get quite a few hours out of the game even if you don't love it though.

Monster Hunter 3 is a huge time waster, in a good way. With hundreds upon thousands of things to hunt, craft, and find in this enjoyable game unlike any other, MH3U is definitely worth paying full price.

There is an insane amount of depth in this game. You could literally spend hundreds if not thousands of hours in it. Its too bad that it turns so many away with such a steep learning curve and frustrating controls. Its a hard game to play casually. You have to really commit to it. I'm glad I bought it, I just wish I had the time to devote to the massive world that exists within.

A phenomenal game that requires skill patience and friends for the ultimate experience! Easily a system seller and though its last gen graphics and steep learning curve are intimidating don't let that throw you off from this masterpiece.

This game is great for new and old players of this triology, when I first started playing this game I fell in love with weapons, the armors and the skill combinations. This game is perfect to play with some friends and even to meet new hunters. The feeling of success and the power when you get the armor that you wanted is AWESOME, from hunting an Arzuros or defeating a Miralis there it will be always fun when hunting with friends.

This game blows your mind with incredible monsters and environments, but it has one serious downfall. The text on the screen is hardly readable. This made starting the adventure difficult and unenjoyable for a first timer like myself with this. The small town area is also difficult to navigate, but once you begin to master things, this game really opens up.

First off let me say when you get this game make sure you have alot of time on your hands. The beginning tutorial is very long, around 4 to 7 hours. If you're like me I just skimmed all the dialogue and crash coursed the controls to speed up the beginning to 2 1/2 hours. So with that said be sure to give this game a chance and I mean give it a chance. Veterans of monster hunter tri already know what to expect, but for those who are playing this game on hear say you have alot of things to get adjusted to. One of those things is that this game is very very very very very quirky! Yep I said it.... QUIRKY!! If you just came from playing Skyrim and/or Dark Souls it will take alot of time getting used to and will make you question if this is a serious game. Have no worries though because it still is a serious game, just think of it more like an anime and how quirky yet serious it is. Also if you're used to great graphics in a game it will take getting used to as well because the graphics look like Ps2 style with HD polish. Set that aside and you have a great game. Multiplayer for me was a hard thing to figure out but luckily on the gamepad you can go on the internet and figure out what you need to do with MP. Playing online with friends takes getting used to because there is no Invite option, so if you're an xbox player it will take some time to get adjusted to. After the quirkiness of the game along with its new way of logging in with players you will find this game very addicting. There are several ways of killing each monster and each way will earn you different types of resources. This game is more of a lifestyle than it is a great story, but like I said once you have the patience to give it a chance It will grow on you. It is a very challenging game and is fun to play with friends. The community of players are very nice and helpful so don't be afraid of being a greenhorn. There will always be someone to help you because while you level up and get more resources for weapons armor they still make gains as well whether they just want to sell their rewards or enjoy helping someone. Once you get everything down in the game you will find yourself even more addicted to it. Trust me this game is very fun... Give it a chance

Good fun, but lets be honest, these are PS2 graphics at best, very average, but the gameplay is very solid and overall it's a fun co-op RPG. The 3DS link feature is awesome, very cool.

This is a system seller. It's sad that not everyone know this series. Despite that, this is the best we have in the series so far and the best introduction to the world of monster hunter. Monster Hunter is about giving you very well designed monsters that you will have to learn by heart in order to kill them fast. The 12 weapon classes give you very different game play options, so this game takes a long time to feel boring (about 500 hours). You can always change monster, weapon class, armour skills and party strategy and feel that it is a completely different experience. Low rank quests are easier to let new users feel comfortable with the game, but end game quests can kill most hunters very fast, which gives that rewarding feeling that you developed your hunting skills. If you never played a Monster Hunter game, try this one. Even if you don't fall in love with it, as most people do, it will still provide many hours of fun.

If you have friends and you all have a Wii U, get this game and play the hell out of it with them. It can take some time to really get into, but it's worth it if you have buddies. However, if you're looking for a game with a story to tell, you might wanna skip this game.

My favorite game on the Wii U and one of my all time favorites. I've never put over 500 hours into a game (except for WoW maybe) and this game just has it all. Unique crafting for weapons and armour, very challenging gameplay, TONS of content, 1080p visuals, and a blast when playing with friends. The must own game for Wii U.

This game alone has more than justified the purchase of the my Wii U system. Game doesn't have much of a story but thats okay because Capcom didn't really try to give it one. The most fun i get out of this game comes with hunting online with my friends and other random people, the combat system is weird to get used to and very unforgiving at times but that just adds to the fun of the game, 12 different weapon types to pick from and an even larger assortment of weapons within each class. Every single battle plays differently then the ones before, the monsters have different patterns that change from battle to battle (for the most part) and get harder as you progress in rank. If you can get into the game you will at least get 100 hours out of the game and for 60 bucks id say thats a pretty good deal. The game is also very colorful and while it doesn't look "realistic" i think the graphics are perfect for the game instead of dull blacks grays and browns you get vibrant colors for your armor weapons and even the surrounding map areas. The monsters them selves are also vibrant for the most part and all look very interesting and while as you level some may be re colors of an earlier monster they fight MUCH differently and its something you must adapt to. Overall the games experience is something that you cant experience any where out side of this series and if your looking for a fun game to sink a bunch of hours into that has great online multiplayer and is actually fun and unique i would say definitely check this one out.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is one of the best video games I've played. I'm a Monster Hunter vet having logged several hundred hours in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. Ultimate is better than both. I have spent approx. 630 hours on Ultimate so far. I've been playing video games since the NES and I don't think I've ever spent more hours on a single video game. That's saying something. All MH games require a certain level of commitment to become good. You need to learn monster weakzones and elemental weaknesses as well as their attack patterns. You have to learn which quests are best for certain rare drops. You have come up with mixed armor sets to get the best combinations of armor skills. You have to spend time farming monsters for materials to make the better armor and weapons. In short you have to put in a lot of time. This may not SOUND fun but it is. Remarkably fun. Struggling against a monster until you've learned his patterns and can then PWN him is extremely rewarding. Hunting with three other players and working together as an effective unit is a blast. Becoming proficient with the 12 different weapons so that you can tackle quests in different ways is also deeply rewarding. Monster Hunter isn't for everyone. If you want to just jump in and kill stuff with no forethought or strategy then Monster Hunter isn't for you. That doesn't make you any less ****, just a different KIND of gamer. Anyone who would rate MH poorly is not the KIND of gamer who enjoys micromanaging, loot gathering and grinding. Depending on the rarity of certain materials and how lucky you are it may take a dozen hours (OR MORE) of hunting one monster repeatedly to acquire everything you need to make that monster's armor set. That's the kind of commitment that many gamers just aren't willing to make. Again, that doesn't make them LESS ****. Just different. If you're the kind of gamer who loves to throw yourself completely into a game and you're willing to put in the time MH3U is one of the most rewarding experiences in gaming. After spending hours of farming a monster there's nothing quite like wearing your new tricked-out armor and/or weapon for the first time and destroying a monster that you used to have trouble with. I've never played any game more in my entire life so I can't possibly give MH3U on Wii U less than a 10.

This game is a very good and challenging game, its perfect for those who love a game as a challenge. The only problem i really have is that the under water controls cold be better, still its a good game. Some people hate that say your slicing and your in the middle of an animation of a slice and a monster is about to attack you cant move and then you get mad. you are supposed to wait for an opening which means that you cant rush in and attack no matter what happens. Also, people hate the recursion of having to fight the same monster over and over just to get one thing. Doesn't lots of games do this. Besides this is to make your experince longer. This game is not for everybody, but it's definantly for me

The latest monster hunter game so far and it is perfect compare to other Wii u and 3DS games the graphics and the sound and the control system, it would also be perfect for 3DS as well if it had an online system too.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Monster Hunter is a game close to my heart, I remember when I was younger on the first MH, my brother our friend and I spending many many hours playing this together. Now we're seeing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and it doesn't disappoint. I was very impressed by all the additions and the way everything comes together. Impressed.

Not fantastic on graphics or storyline BUT great game play. Lots of impressive monsters to kill and tons of armor and weapons to craft and also master. While playing the single player you can also do the multi-player quests which pits you against multiple monsters at once while rewarding you immensely with rare materials. Learning curve is a bit steep but worth the investment. After about 100 hours into the game i am still enjoying myself. Hard to say that for many current games nowadays.

wow very good game The first Monster Hunter game I ever played was Monster Hunter Tri. i got both for 3ds and wii u This game is loads of fun Like a bunch of other people on here, this is my first Monster Hunter game

This game is awesome, can't believe it has gotten negative ratings. Lots of people are about this game because it's graphics are a bit outdated. Those people obviously haven't played the game that much, this is an HD remake of a Wii game from 2009, with lots of new stuff added (to an already large game). If you own a Wii U, buy this! if you ain't got a Wii U, what's wrong with you?

This game's demo was misleading, I didn't even want to buy this game but for a strange reason I ended up buying it I can say that I have no regrets

Games these days seems to be about accessibility and mass appeal, but no one told the folks at Capcom. One of their newest games, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, is just as intense as any other action role-playing-game, but is for the new Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. Currently it is the most aesthetically pleasing and playable version of the game up to date. The game's story is predictably linear. You are a new hunter brought into a town near the coast and sent out on quests to unearth the causes of seismic tremors occurring in the town. This makes conversations with non-playable-characters simple and bases most of the dialogue around your equipment. The majority of the characters you talk to take you straight into a menu in which you buy different equipment. This isn't a game you play to hear an interesting tale, it's more about complex and engrossing game play, and addictive weapons and armor combinations. That is where the game makes up for it's linear plot. The gear that you find in this game is completely different from other RPGs out there. For one thing, in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, most of your gear comes from the monster you hunt. By slaying these giant beasts you get parts that you can haul back to town, and have them forged together to construct weapons and armors with a design based around the monster in question.. It's one thing to look at a spreadsheet of stats about what you are wearing, but it's completely different to be able to preview your selection and know how powerful the gear is just by looking at it. Another thing the game has is the complexity of the monsters within the game. There are over 50 monsters with different natures and roles in their own ecosystem. They behave on their own and a hunter can spend hours watching a target before he eventually unsheathes his sword and takes the first swing. However, most of the time you, the hunter, will startle the beast and it will turn aggressivly on you. The detail of monster characteristics don't just stop at the food they eat or how they react to the environment, monsters also have certain locations on their body that can be exploited as weak spots and criticals; nothing feels better than slashing at a monsters tail and having it fly off, or swinging a hammer the size of a desk at your target's head and knocking it out. That is a main feature of Monster Hunter that other action games do not compare to. Progressing in the game is more personal as you must learn how to dodge, combo, and even spot the weakening of the monster. This is what deters most people from the game because even though you may have the greatest armor that you could get at the moment, the next monster could potentially kill you in two or three hits. The learning curve is steep but the upside to this high amount of difficulty is that you feel more rewarded in your hunt. Victories feel like a more direct result from your personal skill and planning, rather than an assumed eventuality. Even though there is high risk and reward, there is still no escaping the awkward controls that comes with monster hunter. For the Wii U, the camera controls are controlled by either the left trigger to center the camera to where the hunter is facing, or the right analog stick. The draw back is that the analog stick is placed at an inconvenient location not familiar to console players. The controls are worse with the Nintendo 3DS where there isn't even an analog stick to control camera movement. The options for camera control turns to the left trigger and the directional pad under the left analog stick. This problem mean that you will be repeatedly pressing the left trigger, or find yourself choosing to move your character or moving your camera. However, Capcom has addressed these problems with new features that come with the touch screen on these controllers. Old players of the series may notice they may place different tools on the touchscreen, varying from camera control to instant item combinations. This is a great utilization of the touch screen and defiantly makes the game a lot more enjoyable. Along with the optional directional pad that you can put onto the touchscreen, there is a monster camera lock that allows vision on the monster at all times. There are endless combinations of 'panels' one can choose from to customize the touch screen. Despite being frustrating at times to new hunters, this is a great game. The battles are exciting, tense, and addictive. The game play stands out above all else. You, the hunter, actually feel success when you kill a monster. Thanks to the touchpad design for the systems, Monster Hunter feels a bit more responsive and a bit more personal. For some, this game may not be so suitable, but if you’ve been craving an action game which offers up the unique satisfaction of defeating big, truly difficult monsters and carving a new set of armor out of their salvaged skull, get this game now. You won’t regret it.

The only negativ think is the graphic. It is the same Graphic than the 3DS version, but in HD. But the Game is great! You pay the normal price for a game that you will play over a year! It makes addicted, bit it´s great.

Capcom understands what this game is. It's a port, and it's treated as such. The graphics, while updated, are not good. Your character doesn't interact with anything in his/her environment very well. You disappear into dead monsters, your weapons glitch through your arms when you run. These things don't detract from what the essence of the game is though...hunting big f-ing monsters. I played the game for the Wii and did enjoy it, but ultimately gave up on it. I figured with a new ultimate version I'd drop the 60 bones and give it another shot. I haven't been disappointed. The game is addicting from the start. It's nearly impossible for me to sit down and not play for multiple hours. There is so much to do, from gathering to hunting, villager requests, quests, cultivating the farm, sending out fishing boats, forging, upgrading, and decorating armor and **** to mention how much time you can spend combining all of your resources into better souped-up kick-ass resources. But with all that, it doesn't even scratch the surface. Hunting is the true essence of the game, and there are a dozen or so different weapons you can choose from. I started out with the dual blades but have moved on to learn the katana and the hunter's bow. Each weapon is unique and there is a learning curve for all of them, sometimes a very steep one. Learning a monster's tendancies becomes a huge part of the game. Understanding that when you injure it severely enough it will limp off towards safety. A well placed shock trap can intercept it though, and you can actually capture monsters as well(with some practice). And that's what Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate really is. It's a game about hunting monsters, learning their tendancies, and finding a way to take them down. A single monster hunt could easily take up to an hour. And with an expanded multiplayer, I don't see this one getting old anytime soon. I would like to mention, I think it is an absolute TRAVESTY that they didn't include multiplayer online directly through the 3ds.

I played the demo and was a little underwhelmed, but interested. I read some reviews online, and decided to get the game due to high reviews of the multiplayer experience. I started playing at 7pm and it was 1030pm before I knew it. If you enjoy action games that reward you for your attention to detail, I would recommend this game. If you expect to master a game's controls in 2 minutes, avoid this game.
