Capcom this week released Monster Hunter Tri for Wii, and it’s already being heralded by many as one of the great single-player games, and the best online multiplayer experience the console has ever seen. It also looks gorgeous, provided you’re okay with slower-paced gameplay. So what’s the verdict, Infendo readers? Is this all it’s cracked up to be? Do share your impressions with the rest of us.
Who here is excited for Monster Hunter Tri? I know I am, who doesn’t like slaying ridiculously-dinosauric-draconic-monsters? Monster Hunter Tri is one of the few games I didn’t expect to see on the Wii. I mean honestly if Anyone came up to me two years ago and said, “Hey, Monster Hunter is coming to the Wii!” I would of laughed in their face.
Anyway, who here is picking this game up? I mean I’d do it anyway for the Classic Controller Pro.
After taking a short week off – Alexis, Zac, and Sean come back to answer the big questions: Is the “Zelda Wii” team in competition with Monster Hunter Tri? Should The Conduit sequel really be made? What does a dog-chewed copy of heartgold look like? (Hint: Like This) Just what the heck is “Ultra Hand,” anyway? This, and more, on Infendo Radio 181:

I picked up the entirely free demo disc from GameStop this week for Monster Hunter 3 (or Tri, not sure what I’m supposed to call it). While I applaud this type of marketing, I think they missed a good opportunity to convince me to buy the game. Based on what I’ve read or seen, this game had me very excited. The disc comes with a fold-out control guide, which is fine, but doesn’t really tell you how you’re supposed to play the game. A brief tutorial would’ve been nice. As I time and time again tried hunt a beast, I felt like I had absolutely no clue what I was supposed to be accomplishing. Was there some way I could tell how much closer to death the beast is? Perhaps, but I couldn’t figure that out. Still, this looks pretty awesome and I look forward to renting the full version.
