It's not leaps and bounds better then the first 2 games, not much has really changed other then minor tweaks.
This game should have been a major hit in the west with the first one, however lack of advertising is to blame and the fact that it was at the time so niche that it's reviews weren't garnered very well. It did gain a very small, but extremely dedicated cult following in NA. We begged and begged for MH2, but never got it until it released in the form of MH2P. Which itself wasn't really a direct port, but it was close enouph and a damn good game at that. Over the years the cult following grew thanks to word of mouth and the PSP versions of the game.
Now capcom is trying to push it harder in the west instead of pulling the "oh it didn't sell well enouph in the west" card that many of us got when we were asking for it.
Anyway, back to my main point. It should have been a success in the west with the first release, but capcom didn't advertise nearly as much as it should have....
NOW I WANT MY GAME GIMME GIMME! *drools*
