HELP! I cant decide! which one should i get? im leaning more towards MHF2, the thing that will make or break this for me is if MHF2 has infastructure? cause i have wireless internet in my house and i would love to play online.
just adhoc BUT i was in the same as you and i ended up getting both lol, i now have over 200 hours in MHF2 and about 2 in bravestory, bravestory is NOT good, its mediocre. Monster hunter on the other hand is AMAZING!seriously go buy it. and i have never played online either so its not that big of a deal. trust me, do yourself a favor and pick it up.
MHF2 is a GREAT game, don't listen to the Gamespot review, I have both games, and I much perfer MHF2, the graphics are amazing, and there are so many quest to do, the game will keep you busy for a long long time.
one final thought,its really hard at some parts keep that in mind.

Also the game has a surprising amount of depth, for instance there are I think 11 different weapon classes, each with pros and cons, my personal favorite is the long sword's it's so fun slaying giant monthers with huge awesome looking weapons made out of bones and stuff :P I just don't know what Gamespot has against the Monster Hunter series, it must not have enough chainsaws's in it, lol.
Yeah I got MHF2 the other week and it's great, which is weird as i usually hate anything remotely RPG-ish, it's more like an MMO but offline though which is weird but fun. It's actually not too hard but when you get to certain points it has quests that are just much harder than the previous ones and the step up in difficulty can stump you for a while.
Both are great games. Monster Hunter Freedom is by far my favorite game though, so I'd say go with that. Brave story is also a fantastic game...saying its just mediocre with only putting 2hrs into isn't very fair either. Both are great games, but in the end MH is better, and gives you 200-400hrs of gameplay, where Brave Story will give you 20-40hrs.
well its actually not unfair, i put in 2 hours and didnt like it at all, sayingit is medioicre is giving it the benefit of the doubt. i HATE all of the characters, they look so stupid, i hate how some of the moves areactually videos and are not being rendered (like the bees in the woods) i hate the story, its so unispired and totally generic, just like the weapons. the mini game part is super boring. i will agree the combat is very fast paced which is nice considering the random battles are too frequent. all that for $40?? im sorry but its mediocre.
P.S. there are chainsaws in MHF2 :P the kirin thunder element duel swords.
Yeah MHF2 is a great game. I gave it and the previous MH a fairly good score in the player reviews (my 2 cents). However, I'll agree that it is hard at some points. I've been on the verge of throwing my PSP through the window on a number of occasions due to the enemies. On the flip side, when you finally do kill off a huge monster there is a sense of "HUZZAH!" that goes with it. Feels good, ya know?
Also, I won't post how to do this, but I've heard there is a method for getting MHF2 to play online (not adhoc). Sounded like some software/hardware knowledge was needed. :)
