"Capcom's new world"

When I put in the UMD, the description said: "Enjoy nature's beauty..." Well this game is as enjoyable as hell, not as nature! Let's see why:

The game has a bit better story than the first game (you get attacked by an unknown monster and are being save by the townspeople), but its almost still nothing, but this does not count at this game, I guess...
(STORY: 3/10)

The music is also great, along with the graphics it gives you a wonderful and superior environment, which makes you feel that you are the hunter you play with. Also the bossfight music is fine too.
Maybe its only for me (I dropped my PSP a few times [Accidentally =) ] while the UMD was inside), but the major flaw with musics are that they either "forget" to play, or they are a bit late...

I REPEAT: THIS MIGHT ONLY BE BECAUSE I DROPPED MY PSP WITH THE UMD THE INSIDE.
DONT TRY IT AT HOME, ITS DEFINETLY NOT FUN...

Some sound effects stayed in the game from MHF1, like my favorite, the barbeque cooking song.
(Ooh its soo kewt ^-^)
MUSIC: 8/10

Ahh the graphics...Capcom Really knows how to make the best from PSP... I just thought: The same graphics, same places (Mountain zone), no improve from MHF1... - Until I arrived to the jungle zone! The waterfalls and the cutscene at the first arrival there is just... breathtaking...
GRAPHICS 10/10

The GAMEPLAY (yes it deserves full capitals) is just... "Purrfect". Its a great mixture of fun and action. The new delivery system helps you earn money, and points easier. Hiring your own feline workforce to work for you at your kitchen is actually fun! And the new mission system, where you dont have to do the training missions +multiplayer training is great! But the game's best side is the hunting... (Actually what would this game about with a title: Monster Hunter Freedom?!) Many monsters are out there waiting for you to...er...kill them! The weapon system is just superior, along with the skill system and weapon decoration system you can make your character to suit your needs! (I have a healer crossbower, a Dual sword Tank and an all around katana guy)
Also, you can still play the great multiplayer mode like MHF1 had... Oh MHF1 savefiles can be imported to this game, and you get a nice biography what your hero has done at Kokoto + all your items which are in this game too.
I think 50% more content is a lie...I think this game has much more new and enjoyable stuff then its precedessor had!
GAMEPLAY: 11/10 (yes, eleven from ten)

The only flaw in controls that you can't jump wherever you want. But there are many places where you can hang, climb and jump to. The camera system is great also.
Controls: 9/10

OVERALL: 10/10
