Grindiness doesn't neccessarily make a game bad, I've enjoyed plenty of grindy games such as Runescape. The thing is though that most of those games have other strengths that make up for the grindiness, such as a good story or online play. Monster Hunter 1 didn't have any redeeming features when I played it, I don't recall there being much of a storyline, it wasn't an MMO so you couldn't play with others, etc. It was just a tedious slogfest.

It definitely wasn't an MMO but there was an online component in the first Monster Hunter however I think you had to get a PS2 network adapter to get the online functionality out of the games ... 

It's more akin to Phantasy Star online on the Dreamcast where there is a central hub for players to interact with each other outside of missions ...

You are right about Monster Hunter not having any story though ...
