Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is a fantastic game and one of if not my favorite game of all time. The Monster Hunter series itself certainly is.

This was one of my first psp games I got back in the days even before I joined Vizzed. The only thing I can say is wow has this game aged well.
The Graphics had this aesthetic to them that just made it work and it even to this day blows me away with how the graphics have evolved over the past 9 years I've been playing these games.

This games soundtrack cannot be rated on a scale for how good it is and it is one of the biggest strong points that this game has when it grips you in. In combination with the graphics as is this creates a really noticeable atmosphere in the game that just makes it feel that much better.

The replay value on this game is so big that I have over nearly 6,000 hours on just this one game which is crazy. But that is the thing with this series is that it is a huge time sink and most people end up putting a few hundred or even a thousand or 2 hours into it.

The gear and monster variety for this game was massive and is actually number 3 for most monsters in the main series games. Like across all the ranks you will get more and more and more gear that you don't know what to do with. And in my case you'll find gear sets to make and mess around with. I see more people customizing builds to the point where the monsters difficulty is much lower this fact made me put a 7/10 difficulty instead of a 9/10 difficulty.

The biggest issue I have with this particular game is the collision detection. I don't think I have seen any worse collision detection in a video game ever. Sometimes with a long ranged weapon you look like you are spot on with an attack and the game claims you missed said attack. But never in the game is the collision detection more annoying than the fights with the Plesioth(there are memes) Rajang and Tigrex. The latter of which has a tail whip attack that is basically unavoidable when standing next to it and even when you aren't near it at times.


The stages in the game while good also do not help with the factors on certain boss attacks not like its going to matter in some circumstances.

Either way this game gets a 9.5 out of 10 and I consider it an influence in action rpg history as well as video game history and the history of Capcom as a company.

If you haven't picked it up and have a psp I highly suggest you do as it is one of the best games on the console in my and many others opinions.
