Based on the amount of copycats alone. It's say, that game deserve 10/10 more than anything else.

The game may not be for me, but it doesn't mean it's shovelware.

thank god there wasn't any advertisement controversy this time

Very true, I didn't really get into the game enough to pass judgement on it but it looked well made. Maybe people into those kind of games would agree it's the best in it's genre?

Yeah ... too bad for u PSP ur where doing so good in japan , but looks like ur days of glory are coming to a end on sept the 14th.

They still have Monster Hunter 3 Portable coming up...

I doubt that the PSP will die until the 3DS comes along at very least.

oH i dont think that MH can match Pokémon ...

What's interesting (and totally awesome), is that Black/White is the first Pokemon game to receive the perfect score. So yeah, it's got massive hype (which helps in any Famitsu score), but the perfect 10's all around is definitely a good sign, no doubt about it.

Diamond/Pearl: 35/40
Platinum: 36/40
HeartGold/SoulSilver: 37/40

I was expecting a 38 for Black/White.

Match? No. But can it provide PSP owners with a killer app that convinces them to play their system for another year or so? Considering how Monster Hunter 2 has sold 4 million copies in Japan, in comparsion to the 6 million copies of Diamond and Pearl, then yes. I think MH3 will keep the PSP alive for a while longer.

For a year ? I dont think so ... i mean once that 3DS hit the market in by nov'10 (you heard here first) no one in japan will at least think about a PSP ...and reason for that is that i have a strong believe that we will hear about a MH game coming for 3DS at TGS.

In my mind, a single great title can sell a system. Hence, why Nintendo has always dominated the handheld market despite being a few years behind the times. But if the 3DS DOES come along with a Monster Hunter game, then yes, I guess that would kill the PSP. I personally doubt that it will be announced by the end of the month though.
