I'll be playing this game with a cc pro (unless I get it and it's horrible, in which case I'll play with cc) and a WiiSpeak. If the language gets too ugly (F***! I got hit! I need a F***ing potion! F***, f***, f***!) I might switch to keyboard. Going in with a switch axe (hopefully the Lagicrus one).

EDIT: And I'll spend the whole time playing online unless you can't beat the game that way :P

Haha so true! And I sorta feel the same way about the Wii Speak. I don't feel like listening to that and especially not some 12 year old who won't shut up about how is better than you in every way. X(

Yes well the game never truely ends haha. It's sorta like the Pokemon games in that regard. I guess you could consider having beaten every mission as completion but then there's sooooo much armor and weapons that you can upgrade. Addictive gaming at its finest. :D

Yes, I'm fully aware that there is some inherant risk when buying a third party accessory, which is kind of why I asked this question. Ive heard bad things about such accessories so I was just curious if anyone has actually had any first hand experience with this product specifically.

I'm definitely going with the CC pro. I really hate the Wiimote+Nunchuk set up. Also I'll start out with a keyboard, and if I deem it necessary I might get a WiiSpeak. As for class, I'm going hammer! I've always loved the hammer in the past and the ability to stun enemies with it is such a great ability to have imo. Its also one of the hardest hitting weapons. I'll might try out the switch axe for a while though since it seems pretty cool.

Hey I just wanted to ask if anyone bought the Nyko Wand Plus yet? Its brand new and I haven't seen any reviews of it yet. It has the Wii Motion Plus built into it, which is what really intruiged me about this controller, since this would make it possible to use a wireless nunchuk with motion plus games i.e. Red Steel 2. So, I just wanted to ask if anyone has tried this out yet and if they have any input/verdict on how well this works.

Ive been a Monster Hunter fan for a while now and I must say that I'm very surprised that they gave this game a good rating, considering that most mainstream game reviewers have told people in the past that the Monster Hunter series is trash. I'm satisfied with their rating and I think they reviewed it very fairly. Obviously this game is not for everyone since it does have a very steep learning curve, but I'm hopeful that many more people will now give this series a chance to grow on them. For me Monster Hunter has easily been the most addicting game I've played and with Tri there's finally online!!! I cant wait! Getting my copy on Tuesday :D

As for IGN's review its what I expected, right around a 9, I expect most reviews to be around their!
