So I just saw a deal for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite at my local Best Buy for $25(CDN). I'm considering a purchase, but have seen mized reviews. What do you think - should I get it? (If I did buy it, I would only be playing solo - no co-op or anything)

great game, its not a game thats going to get alot of good reviews because its a niche game, its also very hard, but very rewarding.

in short, if your willing to put in alot of effort, then its a great game

Try the demo that's out right now...

It is hard, but very rewarding and fun. And like the poster above, it's a very niche game. So try the demo first.

The demo definitely didn't help me in my decision on purchasing the game. In fact, after playing the demo it put me off from buying it. But I still bought it anyway, and I'm very glad I did. Granted I second playing the demo first to see if you like it, but you may not like the demo. Overall I think 25 dollars is a great deal and it's really worth a try if you have a lot of time to put into this title. Like the other guy said it's a challenge, but it can be very rewarding and it makes you feel like you accomplish something.

Really? The demo made the game for me, once I got a hold of a weapon I liked. I really started to get how long the battles were, etc. I'm a Hammer/Light Bowgun person myself.

Monster Hunter is a brilliant game. I remember when my friend first told me about a game called Monster Hunter and I was like "ew" just from the name because I can't stand RPGs where you run around killing dragons and stuff. When my friend bought it an I played his it was like love at first...play :') Monster Hunter is a must have game if you own a PSP but as other people have said you have to put the effort in, the most frustrating thing I hear is when people don't give the game a chance and don't even go past the training missions. Playing Solo is fine although I must admit multiplayer makes it that much more fun. Buy it! you won't regret it! :D

I just don't know why, but the demo just didn't help me a bit. I found it-- well boring... which is funny because I find the actual game fun. :P Maybe because I had no idea what I was doing and just trying to get used to the controls. I probably would have liked it better if they gave more indepth tutorials on the controls, fights and the noncombat experience.

Yeah I love using the hammer and the Bowgun. But I think my favorite is just the sword and shield.

I have a friend that's all Gunlance, and one that's all Dual Blade. I was surprised how varied my group of friends was in their weapon choices. I'm thinking of switching to Great Sword simply because it won't get dinged off as much as my hammer does.
