My first time playing Monster Hunter (Tri on the Wii) wasn't a great experience; I didn't really know what to expect, so when it hits me with very slow, weighty combat, enemies that took could take over 30 minutes to kill, demanding systems management, and such I was initially not sure I liked it.

I'm glad I stuck with it though, because once you get over the initial hurdle, it offers one of the most rewarding experiences in gaming.
