The best 2010 game for wii
Killing the Alatreon (40 epic minutes) is one of my best gaming experience ever.
The game did not sell great outside of Japan, it is nevertheless a wonderfull experience for people willing to spend a lot of time on a game.
I have now a hard time to put it aside, and play to other games.
In MH3, you are a hunter ! Available weapons are all great and hugely different one from the other (you will want to test them all !), armor list is vast, each one granting specific powers (high stamina, better bombing etc.). Once equiped, you start your quest. It will be quick when you will be good and deal with "weak" monsters, but it will take 30 to 45 min the first time you will meet the beast (and you will sure die a few times). Patience is key: long combat, need to farm a lot to get what' s need to improve weapons and armors. You will love or hate.
Online is... a blast. You go by group of 4 to kill or capture stronger monsters. When you start online, you can't stop, as you can always improve an equipement, or try a new weapon. Endless gaming happiness.
