Listen I played the original or should I say bought the original Monster Hunter on the PS2. I loved it for about a few hours and got turned off at the fact Capcom didn't include voice chat support. This game would be awesome to plan tactics through voice rather than text messaging or messaging others. A weird and dumb feature something that the 360 would definitely take advantage of with voice chat if they was to ever make a port for that console.
The PSP aspects were flawed based on their control scheme, most of the attacks were weird, everything was mapped out for the hardcore to adapt to rather than for a casual to pick up. Most of the monster hunting was confusing and required some sort of multi-player help to get past and such. This game alone relies on the multi-player, Capcom needs to see this and take notice. Also its weird how they make online servers in Japan and make the Americans suffer from Ad-hoc on the PSP versions. The only version that provided online was and as I stated above was the PS2 version of Monster Hunter.
I certainly will try out the Wii version of the original Monster Hunter just for the simple fact Capcom has no other choice but to adapt to the Wii-mote. And this will certainly help out the camera issues hopefully.
This game alone will get some Wii-owners to try it out and see if they like it or not.
I will be waiting for MH-Tri since that is the one that Capcom is planning to build from the ground up. I don't know how the online support will work but MH-Tri will be awesome.
