Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Makes a Killing In Familiar Territory

Tri fans may have déjà vu, but additional downloadable quests, multiplayer functionality and an HD transfer make this a strong port.

Weapons play a big part in Ultimate, mainly because you can mix up strategies.  A large hammer might be ideal against larger enemies, until you realize it takes longer to execute attacks.  And while a distant shooting weapon may sound like a good idea, you'll take longer and eventually have to move in closer to do significant damage.  With the hundreds of possibilities available, it'll take you some time to nail down something that works for you.

And even then, curiosity will have you changing up, just to see where things go.  Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is one of those creative efforts where you'll want to play around and try missions out, just to see how you fare or what you get out of it.  And while some of these might be fun going solo, the real depth comes with multiplayer.

The Wii U version supports both local co-op play (in conjunction with the 3DS version) and online through the Nintendo Network, for up to three players.  And while initiating a session takes some sweet time (especially when you disconnect and go back to the start menu), it becomes quite entertaining working with a good battle group (not the ones whiffing into thin air – get outta my party, you!) taking down larger enemies.  We can easily see new clans forming because of this game.

The gameplay techniques put into the GamePad are nice, as you can equip easier and work your way around areas for training, partnering and taking on quests.  The target camera system is also excellent, giving you lock-on capabilities that provide a world of change when it comes to taking down an enemy.  No more dry whiffs into nothingness – you have focus now.
