While I do like MH, why is it doing so well? The 3 games Ive played of the series seemed to be exactly the same games with identical areas and objectives. Of course, I've only played the PSP games which may be part of the reason (to note: I'm not planning on getting this or any MH game in the future, can't get into it in the way most MH fans do).
Perhaps I misunderstand and MH is similar to the Street Fighter series in the sense they release the game again but with a few added features?

What were the three games you played in the series? Some of the games are re-releases with additional content pretty much. Others are brand new. Usually if we are talking about the numbered series each number represents an entirely new game, while a G afterwards implies a re-release with extra content.  For example, this game is Monster Hunter 4G (because Monster Hunter 4 already released in Japan.) The third game was a Wii exclusive, called Monster Hunter Tri. However, it's since been ported to many platforms as Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, with additional content and more weapon-types. 

I played the 3 PSP ones which probably explains it. Thanks for the clarification!
