If you want to play an RPG game where you run around kill monsters and fiddle with an endless amount of craft items all thrown together with no sort of plan than this game may be for you. Playing monster hunter freedom 2 you’ll never run out of things to do but you may be lost on what to do.
There is a ton of content in the game but it’s not linked in a very set order. You’ll do quests get a ton of items and have them for a long time. Then have to go back to previous mobs to grind for items on future quests. The cooperative play returns which is a plus, but now has an awful camera. Also there is no Internet play.
There are three different types of quests and they are gathering, hunting, and slaying. The combat system in this game is just brutal. You cannot lock onto a target and the camera is controlled by the D-pad. That means that you cannot move and adjust the camera at the same time.
Because of the way the combat works one of the best tactics you have is to simply circle-strafe around the mobs and stab them in the butt…. For an hour!
The crafting system in this game is clumsy at best. You’re given a list of 160 combinations that say how to make it but not what they make. You have to make the combination before you can see the end result. You can only carry 30 items in your inventory and you store your items in the room with the big box that can hold 100 different things. But any combined items need to be in your inventory so you’re constantly moving materials in and out.
Cooperative play is a blast. If you have buddies who are all willing to party and play this game with you (not over the net) than I would recommend it. But if you just want to play on your own I would skip this RPG.
