That is MEGA!

I don't want "simple" controls, I want immersive controls! Motion control, if done correctly, over button presses anyday!

I'm going to echo Mokong's sentiments there. This game is one of the best value for money titles you can buy! I'm 270hrs in and I still can't get enough! And yet although the game itself is amongst the best out there, the best thing for me about this game is you lot. Hunting with you guys makes this game so much more enjoyable, the battles we've gone through whilst helping each other have been truly immense, especially when we hit that balance of teamwork that is just right! All I can say if you haven't got this game is this; you need to buy this game, it is one of those few gems that makes the Wii worth purchasing if you don't have one already. Monster Hunter Tri is truly a MUST-HAVE title!

I really do think the key word in your post is "experience". However I feel that the experience may well be hightened as a result of the aiming in Skyward Sword. I've always found myself completely immersed in Zelda games and with the way you control the items in Skyward Sword I only feel that I would get more immersed into the gaming world, thus hightening my experience. In Twilight Princess I preferred the swordplay of moving the Wiimote to buttons, for me it immersed me into the game world even more than I usually would be. I'd think that Skyward Sword would do so even more!

I put the game on to do q bit of farming offline tonight before I went to football and got a little bored of not really having time to go out on a hunt... so to cure my boredom I decided to make a couple new weapons. I'm interested in hunting Rathalos and Gigginox on the higher level hunts now to complete my Rathalos Great Sword (3 plates away from doing so) and my Gigginox Lance, which looks to be an awesome weapon! I love this game!

Mario and E3 are sucking up all my time at the moment I must admit... I am missing this though, I'll be back on soon!

I've not gotten that far in the offline game... hell, offline I've not done much at all, haha.

This is an awesome post! So E3 kicks off later today, I've actually got butterflies thinking about it... man I'm a big geek! Haha

3 to go? You're in for a treat my friend!

80 Stars in and loving this even more with every star I get! This is easily the best game I've played since the first Mario Galaxy and I'm only a third of the way through it... and it's helped my get over my Monster Hunter addiction, if only until I finish it! Haha

Hell yeah we will. Just give a Call to Arms on here and the N-E Hunters will form a group! ...after a bit more Mario-time anyhow!

This game is pure magic! The level design is absolutely wonderful! I can't stop smiling as I play this!

Yes you can. There's a woman you can buy or sell weapons and armor from in the armory (is that how you spell "armory"..? lol). On a side note, I've made myself a Bowgun Set to use. I thought I'd try it out and see how I like it!

I think everyone should have at least one GS; the High Sieglinde... what a sword! 960 Attack with 420 Poison and a fairly decent sharpness. It's a quest ender! Although there are so many awesome weapons, each having fantastic attributes for specific battles. I tend to use a mixture of GS, LS, Lance and S&S dependant on the quest itself.

Finished with the game? Hell no!!! I'll still be on this almost every night for as long as I can see! With breaks here and there for games like SMG2, Metroid and Zelda.

I have to echo Zechs' thanks here! It's been awesome gaming with you all on this... now you all need Wii Speak as it takes me forever to type anything out without a keyboard and I'd rather hear your voices get distorted over Wii Speak anyway... apparently I sound like Terry Christian! Haha

I love this game! Alatreon is crazy stuff!

Alright! A call to arms for the hunt! We'll be there Mokong!!!

I have one pet peeve while playing this... randoms joining a room listed as "Playing with Friends". Not only do they take up space that your friends could take, they always seem to play for themselves and not for the team! It annoys the hell out of me! Argh! lol

Thanks guys! I think I need to forge myself a SA and Hammer, I've not really used either yet and seeing a few people use them, they do seem a little handy!

What's the "affinity" for your weapons all about? I'm looking to upgrade a weapon and can't decide between attack bonus or affinity bonus for the weapon.

I like a point someone made in regards to SMG2, although I can't remember where I read it. They had said that whilst playing it they thought "this is what SMG should've been like". They then stopped and thought "hold on, SMG is one of my favourite games and I thought it was utterly amazing". It was at that point when they understood just how good SMG2 was!

I know it's knocked Ocarina off top, but I can't help think it wouldn't have done so if the majority of Ocarina's reviews were given at the time of it's release. Half of the reviews for Ocarina are from 2-6yrs after it was released... surely this will have had an adverse effect in the impressions of the reviewers! Even so... SMG2 looks Godly!

To be fair though HoT, you are God on this game! Haha I'm looking forward to doing some higher rank quests, I've been helping people rank up recently and I've not done too much 4 star and above questing yet... I'm itching to get some "+" armor sets and upgrade my weapons further.

It's gotten another 10 over at Eurogamer and it's a well written review too, very much worth the read. That's now pushed it to number 2 on gamerankings all time highest scoring!
