Yeah, people were playing it on trains when I was in Japan. It's one of their highest PSP sellers if it isn't still the highest.

Still the highest.

Given its success over there it's amazing it did so poorly over here. Clearly a different in culture is to blame on this. Or a lack of advertising. I mean I stumbled on the game accidentally. I didn't see an ad on TV for it until Freedom: Unite came out.

We don't need to overcompensate with oversized weapons, we just like shootan and stabban everything with high powered rifles.

America! Who needs giant lances to pierce the skins of dinosaurs when you can do it far away with a rifle? >P

I think polearms and spears would have been a better addition than lances.

If you want to start putting monster hunter in Mabi, you'd damn well better put in faster guarding and dodging because as anyone who's played the game knows, 1 second to get your shield out can make a lot of difference.
Real hunters use bowguns!
