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.

Monster Hunter zanderlex
When I had my 2nd PSP, I used to go out and buy one or two games per week. Because of this, it came to a point where I had so many games, that I didn't know what to buy anymore. Every week, I would go to Gamestop and search the PSP shelves. All the games that they had were either mot interesting enough, or I had them. I did see this game on the shelf, it did look interesting, but I thought I would not like it. I saw this game every time I went to Gamestop, but one day I read that this game was one of the best selling games in PSP history, so I finally decided to get it and I was not disappointed.
At first I thought the graphics would be bad considering it was a PSP game and wasn't exactly new. I was wrong though, the graphics looked state of the art and looked as though they could beat the graphics of most PS3 games. The huge maps are very detailed, the mountains and jungles look beautiful, and the monsters look horrifyingly realistic. For the graphics, I give this game a 9 out of 10.
The sound Is great as well. You can hear various noises as you are lurking in the mountains such as monsters screeching and creeping up on you. Basically everything you can think of has a sound in this game, and the music is good and in some scenes, the music can make you laugh. For the sound, I give this game an 8 out of 10.
The story is simple, you are rescued in the mountains and you are brought down to a small village where you become a hunter. First, you train and learn the basics, and then you go out and complete all sorts of various quests from the residents of the village. To progress throughout the game, you need to learn how to cook, hunt monsters, fish, mine, gather, combine items, catch bugs, and more. For the overall story I give this game an 7 out of 10.
Next we have the addictiveness, which is something worth talking about. The quests are fun and they test your skills as a hunter. It is fun to hunt and do all the things that I mentioned before and the best part is that you can do each quest over and over again to receive points, money, and items. This game will hook you and I give it a grade of 9 out of 10.
There is a lot of depth to this game. In addition to the village and your personal farm, there are multiple regions located outside of the village for you to explore and each region has multiple different locations with different monsters, items, and environments. For the depth, I am going to give this game a 9 out of 10.
Ah, the difficulty, this is probably one of the toughest games that I have ever played. However, just because it is difficult, does not mean it's bad, it's still one of the most fun games you can play. There are some quests that you will finish on the first try, but then there are some, such as when you battle boss monsters, that will take a lot of patience. It took me about 4 hours to beat the boss and I must have dies at least 10 times. For the difficulty, I am going to give this game an 8.
When it comes to the overall game, don't let the difficulty fool you, the game is very fun and addicting, and it will make you laugh on occasion. I am going to give this game a grade I believe it deserves, a 9.
