Here are some reasons that Monster Hunter Freedom for the PSP (Playstation Portable) is not for everyone, although it is one of my favorite games of all time, and the video game that I have played the most.
1. Control Scheme- The control scheme is very good, although it has one major unconventional aspect to it. In order to succeed, imo, you are going to have to move the camera around more than just using the left shoulder button to place it behind you. To do that, you need to use the arrow buttons, but you are still going to need to be running around using the analog nub. In order to do this, I use my thumb to move the nub, and my index finger to move the camera around using the arrows. Some people may not like this scheme, but I think it is awesome. Still, I wouldn't blame you if you weren't into that scheme.
2. Needed support- It is very helpful to have support from other people to help you finds the tons of items, weapons, and monsters. You could spend hours trying to figure out stuff that other people could tell you. And don't worry, you will still be extremely challenged by this game, even if you learn it inside and out. Fortunately, you can find tons of guides and an active message board for the game at gamefaqs.com. See the links on the links section of this page. I personally have downloaded 17 MHF guides and find them very useful, and I think they are all from gamefaqs.
3. Time commitment- You can play this game a really long time. You may hear of those who have played the game for 500+ hours, and they may not yet have done everything there is to do. I personally have played over 130 hours. Sometimes it can take you hours to find an item or monster part that you are looking for the make that new weapon or armor. However, you will have a lot of fun along the way. But it may be hard to play the game if you really need for the game to have an ending. If you just want to play it a little, that's fine too, you don't have to play for hundreds of hours. Just know you won't beat the game after 10 hours. There really isn't an ending that I know of.
That's all I can think of for now, but I may add some more later if I think of anything else. If this sounds like a game you might like, give it a try.
