By far the best part of the series!

Since 5 days there is this gem now already in Europe, and I'm not one of then directly written a review, just to be the first, so I can share my experiences with you so far my 37 hours of play.

I am now since "Monster Hunter Freedom Unite" a true fan of the series, 6 years have passed since the release and there was never even a second when I said "ne, hab grad not feel like hunting and gathering" that has yet managed any other game, and I've already seen much good stuff on the screen, ranging from modern FPS games to the popular fantasy RPG's, but when it comes to Monster Hunter comes as each ran nothing about it. Now we devote ourselves to the latest installment of the series where we all (again) had to wait forever to experience it yourself.

I'm going to compare mostly with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, because you always have the best overview is if you take the previous comparison.

Which, of course, the biggest news is: this time there is a story, and I do not mean just an as yet in MH3U that was indeed rather not so overwhelming, quote "Hey hunters find, get out why our village Moga is plagued by earthquakes ". That was quite nice, because it was the first time that they had a kind of history, but the most important aspect, of course, fell back on the hunt, and that's the latest offshoot of the case, however, it is this time connected to a certain voltage , Directly at the beginning you will be admitted to a little tutorial while you fight (do not want to name names otherwise spoilers) on a ship in any desert against a huge beast, shortly afterwards you find yourself in a village again and learn directly what is in the course of must find out story that mentioned voltage is thus established shortly after the "Intro" and gives the game a little extra touch. Anderst than in MH3U you get here for each weapon a quest, a quest tutorial in which everything is explained about your favorite weapon, that is a very big plus and makes the game even for beginners beginner very friendly! Personally, I only play with the Longsword (since 2009), and was a bit surprised when I saw in the tutorial that there is now a new attack, I do not know how it is with the other weapons, but looks like it here so some surprises for your personal favorite weapon is!

Unlike MH3U there is now no longer dives, that does the epic underwater battles against eg Lagiacrus have been completely removed because you now not somewhere to swim even diving can, what I personally however find it very good, I was the stupid underwater camera never fallen. For this, however, a new element the whole game was built what constitutes: it is now possible to very many, sometimes Random walls simply by pressing upward climb (you could previously also, but not as aggressively and quickly as here), in each direction , and fast or slow as you want stop the. Granted, one feels a bit before as Spider-Man, but is not a criticism, I personally find this new system very well, because without all this climbing etc. there is not a lot of monsters, also we have so many now new ways to kill a beast. So you can jump off a cliff directly on the monster and attack in the air when it falls thus can you jump on the monster it, hurt it with a small "knife" and careful that it does not shake off you, so that there is so much as possible can hurt so that's it then falls down and stunned briefly. I think it's really good and I like it 100 times more than the annoying underwater battles, climb the there but on virtually every map, so called: whether volcanic or a beautiful green plain, everywhere is climbing like crazy!

Also improved are the movements of the protagonist, so that if you run a steep slope down or up, he runs always the movement adjusts ago, and not always as stiff remains in MH3U, everything looks more realistic.

But let us come now to the most important part, can keep the part with the old parts, it is just a long-term motivation? Definitely! There have never been so many monsters in Monster Hunter game suddenly! So you might run long-forgotten creatures such as Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on the way, but also completely new will teach you fear that, what's more the one time not just 300 hours in a village stuck, no, you visited during the Story many places, but also can always go back to the previously visited by hitting on your world map to the location via a touchscreen, since her there. Also exploring was to improve Worlds where you could go in MH3U only on the wasteland island to explore, the area changes constantly in MH4U! Although is also always the same place, but the individual maps change with every visit a little, where previously went the way to the right, he is now suddenly completely disappeared, a nice touch. Also there are 2 new types of weapons, but with whom I can not do much, I stick to my LS: P

CONCLUSION:
Popular Monster from MHFU, countless new creatures, and the largest arsenal of weapons, armor and worlds has ever seen, what more could you want? The latest part of the series already known connecting elements with numerous innovations, the focus is on time but definitely climbing, but also the story to be proud of! For newcomers there are well thought tutorials, so that it is almost difficult to already find the right weapon, because each is simply explained to the last detail and is well presented. The graphics are nunmal 3DS level, but that does not bother me (find them even more beautiful than MH3U on the 3DS, and as funny as here in the Amazon images it is not anyway in the whole looks really much better), to be honest I have nothing to be all rather cozy specially each time to make the telly on my handheld and as far to verpuffern more power, only to have slightly better graphics. I think even the Monster Hunter in the future only should still appear on handhelds, is cheaper and more convenient, but it looks good at any anderst (the high sales figures of MH4U speak for themselves anyway). After my 37 hours game time I've seen quite a bit, but that is of course a joke, especially since I have achieved in my awards only 8%, and I still am in the light part of the game, that speaks for itself. In addition, the online mode has been improved where it still cumbersome the Wii U (if you played with the 3DS) have had to use in the MH3U version as link source, you can now conveniently, solely with the 3DS via wifi on hunting with online companion go, and the world!

I really recommend to you, whether novice or veteran, you will buy the game if you do not have 3DS and hopes for a Wii U version, I can you even say selling your Wii U and buys you a 3DS and the game as it no HD version or something will give. The 40 are really too cheap for such a terrific game, I personally would have up to 100 spent on it, because you in any other game as much place as in Monster Hunter (4 Ultimate), I reckon now already with good 300 hours playing time until I reach the 100% awards. Those who have everything in a Monster Hunter game and reach wants, the need to invest (estimated gross) less than 2000 hours, although I have never done, forged everything in any weapon or armor class, but I think this time I have to do it because the part easy is too beautiful, and now I'm going back to hunt =)
