Gotta agree with Bluecat there. AndyLC covered pretty much everything that the review - and presumably the reviewer - got wrong and/or overlooked. Monster Hunter is a game of tremendous depth, and anyone who has put any decent amount of time into the game can tell when a review is written by someone who just checked out the first couple of quest ranks, or someone who has actually gotten right in there and beaten up some Elder Dragons.

There's some glaring omissions, as mentioned. Most notably no mention of the new Felyne Helper system, one of the big features of Unite. Each player can bring a little AI buddy along with them, who has their own stats/upgrade tree, and really helps make things more viable for ranged-combat players when running solo.

As for what the game is like, as glennsurname29 wants to know? Well, it's a fantasy outdoorsman sim. You're a squishy little human with a pointy stick, and you're trying to kill something that's 20 feet tall, angry, covered in armor plate and can breathe fire. Think of it as Ninja Gaiden for survivalists. It's definitely nowhere near Pokemon.

Also, a demo (currently Japanese only) has been released for MH3, which, yes, is Wii only. It's also a huge improvement over MHFU in almost every respect. Only things I'm worried about are that they're losing some monster and weapon types in the move from second to third-gen monster hunting, and that they may choose to go pay-to-play (it's always been P2P in Japan) for online mode in the western release of it.
