Excellent game but...
2 of 2 found this helpful MHF is one of the best game on PSP along with MHF2 i suppose. The goal of this game is to kill Wyverns to get materials to upgrade your stuff. It may sound like a regular MMORPG like World of Warcraft but it's not. This game is not that easy. Each wyvern you have to kill is a challenge by itself. They are all very hard to kill and each time you succeed you have a very proud feeling (a geek one). It's the part I liked the most about this game. The other part, that I didn't like, is the technical mistakes of this games that makes it very hard to play and very frustrating. Technical mistake : the camera. When you are closing a mountain edge, by example, the camera will spin crazy and you wont be able to see that killing dragon running angrily into you. Second thing, this game is extremely hard, even with the good equipment. The quests to gather eggs or crystal are the most frustrating. When you have to bring some very heavy stuff back home. You can't attack and you can't run fast ! So all the monsters around will jump onto you and you'll drop the packaging so hard that it'll breaks and you'll have to get it one more time. The other thing very annoying are the controls. You have to manage your fingers to be able to move (analog) and to spin the camera (the arrows) at the same time ! I'ts a very not pleasant way to hold the console in your hands. The last thing i disliked is the lack of information on everything. You can't understand easily how things works in this game (Materials, combine, books, cat food, farm, equipment skills, etc...). You will probably feel lost at first. Google helped me alot.
But I've got used to these unpleasant things and MHF is still one of the best game I ever bought (and one of the most frustrating too :O)). I recommend for people that likes the mix of RPG and hack-and-slash (action).
