Monster Hunter Tri Review (Wii)

[Jamariparish1]

this game is unbelievably hard! BUT right after you beat the great jaggi quest.......ITS ON

[demon3304]

Bought this...and I don't regret it. It's the best game on wii...no its the best game EVER!!!!!!!

[BryansWorld1993]

i want a wii just for this game!

[skyrimlegend]

helios armor FTW! (people who dont know what that is don't worry about it)

[Jackun882]

im great at this game!

[diddlesnaps9]

Well said , however you do level up online

[atomicyop]

I play with wii remote + num chuck and its easyer to play this way that using classic controler. Easyer when you running around boss, moving camera while running.



[robloxfan459]

@atomicyop ok...i dont agree. if i play a rpg like that, i wnat a controller, not a wiimote and nunchuk.

[GameAddictet]

This is probaly one of the best reviews i have ever seen. Jou tell the essence of Monter Hunter and show how great this game is. (i play MHFU)

[Tyleras99]

this game reminds me of Runescape

[viceanterra4]

Honestly locking on would screw you up if you can't break the lock on time lol. Ratholos charge while you're locked on? lol...yea

[max536drago]

someone tell me! can i use the gamecube controller with this game

[pergogedon]

This is an awesome game and it just gets better as you progress. I should know, hr50 LS user, beat offline.

[peter30509]

do many people still play this only should i get this or ssbb

[tragamm]

@peter30509

yes ppl still play this only hell im usually online for idek how long a day i have had the game for 4 days and got like 65 odd hours most of wich is online so yeah

[ajko000]

oh and very good points, the reason this game is so good is because it is basically LoZ OoT with better graphics, more weapons, more action, and a better overall gameplay. there is no annoying puzzles and no dumbass lock-on. there is not a single bit of puzzle or mindless adventure. it all has a purpose. this game has been #1 on many boards since it came out. BEST GAME EVAR!!!

[ajko000]

lol here is how i be efficient

1. farm like crazy

2. trade like crazy

3. collect resources and commodities with anything and everything

4. use mah stuffz

5. kill ian in 2 minutes

done ^-^

[StevnFoo3423]

The gameplay kind of looks repetitive, is it?

[nnndddnnnddd]

@StevnFoo3423 it is in essence, but so were games like Diablo, Phantasy Star Online, even the recent Borderlands. its sort of like a dungeon crawler except its all about single boss encounters (sometimes other nasty bosses will intervene mid battle because the game has a persistent ecology thing). the main monster, though maybe only dozen or so, are so well designed and have such unpredictable AI it makes repeating the same fight very enjoyable.

[StevnFoo3423]

@nnndddnnnddd Thanks then on that case i think ill be getting the game

[nnndddnnnddd]

@StevnFoo3423 one caveat though, unlike the examples listed, MH is not twitchy and responsive action. its very methodical and deliberate (ie: it takes time to swing a massive hammer). so it can be frustrating when you are in mid animation doing something inane like using a heal potion and you are mowed down by a giant dino-dragon thing. but its that weighing of player action benefit vs risk of being vunerable that makes its quite challenging. you cant grind and expect gear to carry you. at all.

[salamagogo]

the little pig at the end was funny...whyd he get mad?...reminds me of my sisters bi-polar cat....

[riptor22hi]

i wish they had the swimming the psp games

[japanatic722]

That Great Sword you were using reminded me of Zabuza's sword from the beginning episodes of Naruto!

[notreallylive]

The only one who dis-liked is the piggie at the end

[maartenr]

Poowwwww, take that reindeer, LOL!

Great review, I've been a great fan of the PSP versions! My girlfriend bought a wii last weekend but I I'm gonna buy myself the Monster Hunter tri tomorrow :D

I'm glad they improved the online experience you mentioned in the video, it has been such a struggle with X-link kai to get online with the PSP (For non-PS3 users)

[absiliomundus]

I noticed when u say "new comer" you say it like "new cumber" xD

[Fubukio]

Screw Pokemon, I Got Monster Hunter! XD

[shadedsoulhorse]

why do u have to kill them i mean awsome but at the same time if they're not attacking like that dino looking one its a shame

[benficacraze]

hey every1 on youtube! I need help, this game vs spiderman shattered dimensions which to buy?!

[japanatic722]

@benficacraze Monster Hunter no question!! >:D

[SyluxGT]

i remember when i was a noob....

now i have over 200 hours of gameplay

[ComradeMagnum]

@SyluxGT lol, I'm still a noob, 20 hrs here, just started 3* quests

[SyluxGT]

@ComradeMagnum now hr 79 with over 320 hours, whats your username and ID? wanna hunt together?

[ComradeMagnum]

@SyluxGT I'd love to except 1) my internet connection sucks, and 2) I'm super-busy until January... Huzzah for procrastination

[2488terror]

@SyluxGT wanna hunt a bit late but if you do ill pm you my name and ID

[anathema16766]

excellent review pal

[NoirXT]

@onikage2099 Actually basically no one uses wiispeak which of course can be blamed on the fact that wii speak is pretty bad on this game.

But yeah many people use USB keyboards and that's really all that's needed.

[shanepup14]

lol u said newcomber at 3:10 lol i like dis review u should do more

[shanepup14]

lol u said newcomber lol i like dis review u should do more

[rsmith714]

POOR ANIMALS! D:

[MonsterrHunterr]

Good job

Monster hunter is cool

[Sidespinx]

Great review. would you recommend getting the classic pro controller? 

[tvandlust]

@Sidespinx Absolutely. I think it works great, especially for Monster Hunter Tri.

[DeadliestExpert]

@tvandlust i played monster hunter 3 from the release with the nunchuk tand remote, till today - I just bought a pro one but it feels pretty weird

[SurfyAdrenalinJunkie]

QUESTION: Does anyone else out there prefer to use the Wii mote not the black controller that i have that is now collecting dust ^_^ . ! I dont get what's so hard about twisting ur wrist left and right and up to perform different attacks .. Infact i'd say its easier and more fun ? ??? Like this comment if you agree or tell me what you think .. was just interested ^_^

[WiiMan5218]

@SurfyAdrenalinJunkie umm, it better to get the classic controller, the original or pro cuz the wiimote is just to inaccurate 

[keiranb97]

Your item box is meticolous

[tvandlust]

@keiranb97 Haha, well, I just auto-sorted. :)

[Florjan57]

@tvandlust LOL WHAT?!

how!?

i had to hand sort about 200 items ):

[tvandlust]

@Florjan57 Oh no! Haha, that's awful! There should be an on-screen indication for auto-sort. I believe it's the + button.

[tkthomask]

@tvandlust it is rather tedious sorting out items and equipment when you have multiple pages of them.

the game COULD have included an auto sort system, like alphabetical or categories like weapons and armour., but this isnt a big flaw a all since it is a great game

[TheTrollMr]

@tkthomask

Press + in your bag/item box to auto sort.

[tkthomask]

@TheTrollMr oh, cheers, that will save me some time :)

[gunblade276]

@Florjan57

hey dude i might be getting the game and im wondering can u add

[Florjan57]

@gunblade276 sure but i wont be playing it too much

i recently got no more heroes 2 <3

[ProBMan5]

deff. the best game on the wii. COD WAW used to be my favorite but this took its place. Awesome game.

[ilovegames69]

this game is pretty hard i fucking love it!

[Xpert74]

I played the demo and wasn't too excited about the game, but it really seems like the actual game is more "open" than the demo was. I should get this at some point. It sucks that the bundle with the Classic Controller Pro is already out of stock :( Maybe I'll wait for Monster Hunter Tri to drop to $40, so I can get it and the Classic Controller Pro for the same price as the bundle was.

[Futondean]

I love this game it's amazing and im getting a psp for my birthday on august the 23rd woot!

[TheFlyingDutchman39]

Craig, do they have baby seals in this game?

Just Kidding. Good review. I still play Monster Hunter 2 on psp.

[Gamester81]

The graphics for this game don't look half bad for the Wii. I beat the controls are pretty fun to use for it.

[TR4VI5]

good work dude ! >:]

[icanfiksthat]

i love the ending! owned by piglet

[boomboi00]

wat is ur weapon of choice ?

[boomboi00]

besides sword and shield ?

[hooflung128]

Great reviews as always Craig. I plan on buying this for the Wii some time in July and picking up the pack-in controller variant.

[TheCodedArm]

Good review but like the other guy said, I thinig you should of showed what online gameplay looked like. I don't see how privacy is an issue here because there are no unique character names.

[tvandlust]

@TheCodedArm Perhaps, but online looks exactly like offline. You know that as well as I do. I could have soloed an online quest, and barring the name over my head, no one would be the wiser. Even if privacy were not issue, there's really nothing unique about playing online that warrants the extra effort on my part. That goes for most games. Most online modes look exactly like single player gameplay, which is why I don't lose sleep over it, even if privacy was no concern.

[TheCodedArm]

@tvandlust Playing with others is whole differen't kind of experience. While the core machanics are the same, with other players in the mix there's more to worry about. like how sometimes you can screw other people's attacks up caused by your own. Plus is just awesome to see everyone working together. Maybe you could do a sub review of just online.

[tvandlust]

@TheCodedArm Yeah, I completely agree that PLAYING with others is a different experience. I don't think it's necessarily that different in terms of WATCHING some else play with others, for what would it be? 30 seconds? A minute? You know what I mean? I understand the grievance, don't get me wrong, but given this, and that I have limited time and resources for these reviews, and also that (at least most of the time) privacy is a concern, this is how it goes...

[tvandlust]

@TheCodedArm Also, I was hoping for your approval, haha. Pleasing true dedicated fans is always the hardest.

[TheCodedArm]

@tvandlust @tvandlust Haha, well you did cover most of all the basics and made the game look like fun. So, you have my seal of approval. :) Keep up the good work.

[tvandlust]

@TheCodedArm Awesome, thanks a lot man. :)

[xXSuperToasterXx]

There's a ti

[GrilledCheese2theMAX]

Can you breath underwater? or is there a time limit?

[ronnoc3115]

#2-I didn't get the pro until a while after I got the game, so I was already used to the wiimote style. I wanted the pro so my attacks would actually be what I wanted. I'm pretty far in the game, so all the current monsters are kicking my ass as I'm attempting to get the hang of the different controls. Any advice? And do you use classic style 1 or 2?

[ronnoc3115]

Fantastic review. Nailed it. Ermm, I just have two things to ask .

#1-If at all possible, would you want to exchange friendcodes? I don't know anyone else with the game, so it would be great to not play with complete strangers. But it's totally fine if you want to keep that to yourself.

[Turbosonic98]

@ronnoc3115 You don't use friend codes for online.

[Propel3453]

Not in to this stuff, but still good review.

[danman55555]

"You need to EARN your own damn equipment!"

I don't know why, buy I actually lol'd.

[Saltydko]

newcomers lol

[interghost]

I so want to get this game at some point but I just dont have the time to play it... Im trying to fully complete Oblivion and Fallout 3 at the moment so no free time ha ha! Maybe when the price drops I will pick it up for sure. Cheers mate ;o)

[NN10DOUGH]

Why didn't you show any online footage? Or more of the larger earlier monsters? I think that makes the game look less appealing when you can tell them the online is great but you do not show them what it is like.

[tvandlust]

@NN10DOUGH I never show online footage in my reviews to protect the usernames of not only myself, but the people I play with. It's a privacy issue. Besides, you make it sound like you've never seen what an online game is. It looks like the single player --just with a couple more people.

I also usually elect to not spoil the game in my reviews, which is why you're not seeing every monster I can show you. It's a review, not a walkthrough. It's meant to give you a general idea. I think I did that.

[GelatinousEncore]

Thanks a lot brah. Just have one question: can you "catch" the monsters and then ride them? Like, Lair style except without the suck. Believe it or not this is very important to me.

[MrBeJeCa95]

I dont have a whole lot of money to spend. Which do you think I should get for the Wii, RedSteel 2 or Monster Hunter Tri?? I dont have to many titles for the wii and would like to build up my collection.

[tvandlust]

@MrBeJeCa95 That's a tough one. Red Steel 2 is very unique, but Monster Hunter has much more depth and will last you longer. Both are a lot of fun. I'd say maybe Monster Hunter edges of Red Steel.

[marauderNOR]

I picked this one up on the day of release. I cannot wait to play it. That is when I have time. The comparison to Phantasy Star is a good one. That is the same way I explained it to my friends when they asked me about it.

Good review overall, but I was confused why you did not mention anything about the new classic controller. Is is better to play the game with than with the wii remote? Is it better than playing with the original classic controller? Just something I noticed. Again good review!

[tvandlust]

@marauderNOR Well, that's because I did a separate video for the Classic Controller Pro. :) But I prefer the game with the Pro. I can't imagine playing it any other way, but that's the sort of thing that's up to the player. Individual tastes vary.

[Jacesfaces]

Great review. How does it play with controller it came with?

[tvandlust]

@Jacesfaces Great! It's the best way to play the game in my opinion.

[RightAsWrong]

Are there any monsters that are agressive towards you? It seems sort of strange killing things that won't harm you if you don't attack them first :P

[tvandlust]

@RightAsWrong I fought several monsters in the video that are aggressive.

[totalpwnage1]

most monsters are agressive and will attak you first

[8BitGoomba]

I really want this game I have seen gameplay, read reviews, but STILL cannot afford it, I will gladly go out and buy it if someone gives me 60 dollars for the controller/game version.

[rokninja]

Agreeing with the review, man. Right now it is my favorite Wii game, and that's saying a lot considering how many (great) games I own on the system. Supposedly I'll be online this weekend. We'll see, lol.

[XxVicistxX]

Terrific review, this only makes me want the game more

[Yanoss1313]

good review man, i've been playing it for about a week, really into it, though i think i'll wait a while before i do a review (if ever, lol) for this one. :P still working on a couple others

[chrisjamessurridge]

i've just brought monster hunter 3 tri for the wii amazing it is

[chazgcg]

"...quests are repeatable." Good to know, thanks Craig.

[TheeGamerLegion]

this game looks really cool when I get a wii this is going to be one of the games im gonna want to get :p can you create a female character? Jear

[rokninja]

@TheeGamerLegion

Yup. My main character right now is a female (I have a habit/tradition of doing that when given the chance, lol).

[tvandlust]

@TheeGamerLegion You sure can!

[wiidude99]

great review craig, keep it up.

[HesDaryl]

i've never played monster hunter,but this looks fun.

i'm gonna buy the game with the controller
