If you weren't disappointed in Freedom Unite's direct predecessor, I'm confident you'll enjoy this new title. Stateside gamers who are already Monster Hunter fans will find Freedom Unite largely a small refinement and expansion to Monster Hunter Freedom 2: the same game you love, but more of it. The game world is rich and varied, and Freedom Unite possesses the particular ability to teach its own mythology as gameplay progresses, no matter one's level of past experience with the franchise. That's really all the plot lesson you need before playing. In the game, you become a town's Monster Hunter, hopefully fulfilling your duties keeping the town safe from all sorts of nasties, ranging from relatively benign to truly vicious. In each town, there is a sort of hero/warrior, the Monster Hunter.

You often can't put down the PSP even when you badly want to put it down.
This is perhaps the highest praise for Freedom Unite: With a game of this complexity, you should be inspired to take lots of breaks, but you don't, and the state you achieve somewhere in the middle of your longer gaming sessions is vaguely trancelike. But, having resolved to at least give it a try, just so you can say you have, you may get caught up in that game world, and many hours later, a great deal of Freedom Unite's gameplay architecture will be almost second nature. It's a lot like the PS2's Persona series: You don't want to read three hours of text, spend half of your in-game life level-grinding only to be confused and frustrated by a grand surplus of skills, special abilities, inventory units, item combination schemes and Byzantine control and menu systems. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is one of those games that gamers often feel they should play only because it's big in Japan or is otherwise noted for its novelty or unique accomplishments.
