The games WERE amazing at the time they released.MH games are mostly multiplayer, once the online server shuts down, there's no point in playing anymore.The single player it's only good if you use cheat codes and play it like 30 hours at most, and this is coming from a guy who LOVES MH.The best thing you could do now if you want to experience the franchise, is to get the latest game which is MH4U.
Edit:also the MH Wiki is a great place to familiarize with the MH universe.
