    Having played Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, I welcome this new version, which mercifully removes the horrible underwater battles and replace it with climbing, jumping and mounting monsters!!! I played 100+ hours on MH3U, but after just 10+ hours, boy I can see myself playing even more MH4U due to its much more fun gameplay, seamless online multiplayer gaming, beautiful graphics and of course, the crazy as monsters! I'm glad I took the time to learn MH3U so with MH4U it's a lot easier for me to just pick up and go.

    There is SO much replay value, and hunting the same monster species feels different each time because of the monster AI, location where it is, etc. The new weapons (my favourite being Insect Glaive, having used Long Sword in the past) are just super fun to use. And of course, I often get hit by the monsters as I get distracted on trying to mount them...! Fun fun fun!

    If you haven't tried it MH4U is actually much more newbie friendly in that it guides you through most of the stuff so you don't fumble (like in MH3U). Get on the hunt and see you online!    … Expand

    All:
    This game looks better than previous games, the new vertical gameplay really adds massive diversity to how you can battle monsters, they can change the environment, some structures and environment are breakable by monsters. Looks great in 3D and off with smooth 60fps gameplay. The online works so well I am super glad I picked this up. When I play with my friends I get no lag at all    All:

The only lag I noticed is when I was playing with someone the Australia (I'm in the US). His character was lagging but I was not effected nor was he on his screen but I did see the big monster have hiccup about 2 times. The monsters seem to have more moves now which is a great addition to this game already having more monsters than all the other MH releases.

    For those who haven't tried monster hunter before:
    The beginning of the game doesn't have a lot going on and you are just learning the ropes, getting some materials, and hunting some small critters. The game will progressively get better and much MUCH harder. This game is challenging and rewarding but requires grind so if you hate grind don't play this game, if you love grind or like a sweat spot for grinding then this is the game for you!

    Extra comments:
    For best online results play this game on the New Nintendo 3DS XL otherwise you will get some frame dipping while playing with friends at times.    … Expand

    I'm not sure how to put it, this is basically right between mmo and single player. It's extremely packed with items and gear that you have many directions you can play this. It's a great game and has great combat much like Dark Souls. The bosses are smart and the game gets better and better. Don't forget to play it with friends as it's a real blast to play in groups.

    There honestly aren't enough negative things to say about this game to merit a score any less than a 10. The gameplay is phenomenal, much better than MH3U in my opinion. The graphics are beautiful for the 3ds and I absolutely love the Palicoes. All in all this is a fantastic addition to the monster hunter franchise and since I've already sunk in 15 hours; I can't wait to put in another 150.

    The best entry in the series. Absolutely love the experience so far! I can easily see how I will sink in hundreds of hours into this one...

    I only really got into the series with MH3U. It's difficulty and complexity got me hooked. But this game is complex, difficult but also awesome on a whole new level.

    Lets be clear here, Monster Hunter games are not for everyone. With that said, games should not be judged on what people think they ought to be, but rather on what the developers are trying to accomplish and how well they succeed. For example, Mario Kart games don't generally get knocked because a good AAA single player "story mode" is not included, and neither should Monster Hunter.Lets be clear here, Monster Hunter games are not for everyone.

For example, Mario Kart games don't generally get knocked because a good AAA single player "story mode" is not included, and neither should Monster Hunter.

    Monster Hunter is, and always has been, about the hunt. Think of this as a sport simulation, where instead of it being some lame sport you get to hunt giant dragons and t-rexes. The games story keeps you engaged enough, but the epic battles will keep be what keeps you coming back for 200+ hours of game play. And trust me, nobody does epic battles like the Monster Hunter series.

    The weapon mechanics are at times DELIBERATELY clunky feeling to new players, just as wielding a 200lb great sword would be in real life... this mechanic is there to make players study their fearsome opponents to avoid being punished for poorly thought out attacks and button mashing. The fighting in this game is meant to be an exercises in tactics and strategy, so PLEASE ignore any negative reviews on here complaining that they didn't beat the game by running up to a 30 foot tall monster and mashing the x button. Capcom has done a wonderful job of implementing balanced weapon system that rewards people for playing the game with intelligence. Again... not a button masher, don't expect one.

    I put a little over 200 hours into Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the 3ds, and really my ONLY gripe was the lack of online multiplayer. MH4U comes in with spades here, and playing with others online is wonderful.

    In the end, you will not find a better entertainment value then this game. This is an easy 100 hours of fun, with most dedicated fans milking upwards of 300 hours out of the $40 cartridge. If you enjoy looting, strategic fighting, and think playing a game filled with nothing but the BEST epic boss battles you could imagine, you owe it to yourself to buy this games.    … Expand

    Taking out water combat and adding vertical combat into it's formula was a huge success, and adds yet another strategic element into the game.

    The game is fantastic from the outset - No more tedious intros... Now you're straight into the action with a fantastic opening. There's a fantastic movement system in this game (freerunning) which feels great :) The monsters are nicely varied and each one feels different to hunt. The music is nifty (albeit somewhat repetative in town/gathering hall) and adds to the atmosphere (especially during hunts).

    So one might wonder, what makes this game so good to get such ratings then?... Well, you know how most games slowly make you fight millions of baddies through many copy & paste rooms until you unlock the boss which has a move or two that are fresh? Well, in monster hunter every baddie you have to fight is a boss! Every one is different, exciting and... HARD... The game is brutal, it will beat you up, chew you, set you on fire, throw you off a cliff and then sit on you; and that's what makes it so amazing... because once you kill the monster that's been giving you grief, the feeling you get is one of a kind (best description: you know a movie where you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HATE the bad guy? Well, imagine being able to punch him in the face... with a brick... on the end of a plank    … Expand

    I definitely think MH4U is the best Monster Hunter game, but I did think MH3U did stuff better. Many areas in 4U were repetitive and all the old underwater monsters were gone so I couldn't fight stuff like Lagiacrus. All in all, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is great but it could be improved a little.

    As a long time Monster Hunter veteran, I believe this is the game for both new and veterans alike, as this game provides a decent tutorial while also giving a sense of difficulty for veteran hunters, encountered later in the game in High Rank and G-Rank quests. With all of the content in this game (like all Monster Hunter games!), Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is truly a masterpiece.

I played Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for the psp very recently and loved it even if it was relentless to newcomers. I played it for about 10 hours and realized I needed the best version of monster hunter. I decided to get MH4U for the 3ds and so far have not regretted it one bit. First off, this game is so great for newcomers. Way easier than Freedom Unite at first which is a major plus. When playing, you're going to be gathering items, farming monsters for parts to craft armor and weapons, and upgrading said armor and weapons all so you can beat the next monster threat. You can buff your character with skills that are attached to armor and weapons and you can also attach skills to them with things called decorations. Eventually, you'll have armor and weapons that are suited for certain situations and certain monster encounters. It may be overwhelming, but if you get over that hump, you'll be hooked. Its, in my honest opinion, amongst the greatest games ever made. And its on a handheld! I couldn't recommend this title more… Expand

    I'd like to begin by informing you, I am going to take my time writing this review, and I will likely reach the maximum characters allotted, in an attempt to justify my high rating of this game.

    Let's Begin: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (Henceforth MH4U) is set in an fictional world, in which Monsters exist. Many of these Monsters are virtually harmless, and are even used in day to day    I'd like to begin by informing you, I am going to take my time writing this review, and I will likely reach the maximum characters allotted, in an attempt to justify my high rating of this game.

    Let's Begin:

    Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (Henceforth MH4U) is set in an fictional world, in which Monsters exist. Many of these Monsters are virtually harmless, and are even used in day to day activities by the locales, in order to provide ease to their day by day lives.

    However, there lies a darker side to the Monsters, in which there are those who are fierce, and vicious, not due to an evil nature, no, but instead, many are territorial of what they claim as their own land, or perhaps a daring thief has chosen to steal one of the eggs in their clutch.

    This is were you come in; a Novice Hunter, filled with excitement, and ready to form a name for yourself, carving your legend into the stone, so that those who see it, can tell tales of your prowess and bravery.

    MH4U, is a unique game, in which it is unyielding, but rewarding. Players who first start the game, may find the world overwhelming, not understanding the concepts within the game, and become discouraged by the lack of direction they require. This is not uncommon, as everyone has to start a Monster Hunter game at some point or another. But, do not fret, as the first chapter of the story demonstrates and teaches the very basics of Monster Hunter: Using your weapons.

    By taking the time to understand how the combat system works, a beginner can and will improve, working their way up to novice, and further. As the game progresses, you'll understand the unique and fun crafting system, which allows you to take the parts, carved from Monsters, and gathered from the landscape, in order to create, beautiful, terrifying, and hilarious assortments of armor and weapons alike, furthering your growth within this world.

    MH4U contains two different play modes, in which a player will predominantly follow the single player mode. The single player mode follows the story of your Hunter's interaction with the Caravan. A group of travelling adventurer's seeking to uncover the legend of a mysterious artifact in their possession. As you uncover the truth, you feel a sense of accomplishment in your deeds, and triumphs, looking back and the Hunter you once were, and who you are now.

    As you become more comfortable, you find yourself delving into the multiplayer world of the Gathering Hall, where you and a plethora of Hunters join side by side to hunt the most fearsome monsters, or gathering the rarest materials and treasures.

    The fun and excitement of a Hunting Party is enough to fuel the most discouraged Hunters. This provides them with the ability to learn, and grow as well, taking back what they've achieved into the single player game, even stronger.

    The controls for this game are interesting. Whereas many games require only the gear you have (being the 3DS system), I'd advise that anyone interested, and invested in MH4U, go out and obtain a Circle Pad Pro, specific to their device.

    This will allow for a much more fluid camera control, don't be fooled into thinking the game is of poor quality without this, I have seen many of Hunters who prefer not to obtain this add on, and instead fight, and win against the toughest foes. Naturally, this only gains to enhance your experience.

    If this game appears to suit you, then test out the available demo, doing so will allow you to face off against the series's trademark Monster, the Gore Magala, and fierce, and exhilarating battle, filled with interesting mechanics, and edge of your seat action. By doing this, you give yourself the opportunity to feel the game for it's fast paced moments, but get the thrill of defeating one of the tougher monsters.

    Should you choose to purchase this game, I look forward to hunting with you one day!    … Expand

I would strongly disagree, the game is not overly difficult and it is only reasonably challenging, and it certainly doesn’t nurse you as a baby/idiot, which in my opinion is the worst thing that could happen to an action/rpg game. Most players will get stuck at a few points, that’s true, but it is also entirely possible for any player to eventually beat the mission and move on (which feels very rewarding!), because they will get more familiar with that monster and the fights will consequently become easier and easier. Speaking of “familiar”, this is one of the few games in which experience actually matters, experience as in real experience not experience for leveling up: the monsters don’t get any easier, it is you that get stronger and stronger by experiencing many hunts, and the sense of growth is something that many players highly appreciate. At no point in the game I felt cheated, as you can only blame yourself for not recognizing pre-moves before attacks, not reacting fast enough or not using the right item at the right time. Each fight is challenging in its own way, the different monsters’ different attack patterns and elements add freshness to every encounter, and you get a great sense of accomplishment every time you slay a strong foe. Personally, the superb visuals (monster design, weapon and armor design, environments) and the great music that captures the mood of different fights also make the hunts more enjoyable than frustrating.

    And honestly, if you really find this game impossible to play, the action genre is simply not for you. Millions of fans have no problems playing this game, so you can't really blame the game for it being too difficult for you. You are the minority here. Actually, as a "veteran" who started from MH2G, I can say that this is the most new-comers-friendly game in the franchise (and it doesn’t disappoint veterans/hardcore players either as the difficulty is properly hard in G-rank).

    Easily one of the best titles on 3DS, and one of the best of the action/rpg genre games. Go grab it if you haven’t already! Play it with friends! The multiplayer is also a blast of fun!    … Expand

    Incorporou a habilidade de saltar, podendo agora serem realizados ataques aéreos, montando os monstros:

    Todas as armas ganharam no mínimo 2 ataques novos e foram adicionadas 2 armas: Charge Blade e Insect Glaive;

    Existe agora um NPC que permite a troca de partes de monstros por outras partes de monstros;
    Foram criadas várias vilas em vez de antigamente onde só havia 1 por jogo;

    O jogo têm 23 monstros pequenos (não boss) e 73 monstros grandes (bosses) (cada um com mecânicas diferentes e se tivermos armaduras e armas adequadas para eles cada luta demora perto de 20 minutos, o que é mais do que boss final de maior parte dos jogos...;

    O jogo adiciona guild quests e explorações que permitem ao jogador apanhar relíquias nessas quests e assim desbloquear as melhores armas e armaduras do jogo;

    O jogo conta com 25 mapas onde os monstros podem aparecer e onde se realizam as quests.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter 4 ultimate isn't a game where you just pick up and play
    why?
    the controls, its unique and perfect the way it is, and needs to take times to get used to, from camera control to movement and attack of your character, from using an item to throwing a bomb,
    the control scheme is perfect, once ya get hang of it,ask anyone who loves monster hunter, they'll say the perfect controls ,epic monsters, and hunt, and friends

    the presentation of the game is just the "top-notch"
    from beginning to the end credits, it just awesome, the cutscene that make good use of effects available on the game engine, the clever dialogue, the memorable Npc you met and chat with, and Cats,
    it just perfect,

    the story
    it has 2 main arc, Low rank, and High Rank..till end credits i guess
    and both are quite good, depends, but still far better than mh3u which the predecessor of this game ,
    it also has free story dlc if u want more story,

    the main cake of this game is of course the experiences,
    the game added 2 new weapon,
    which one(Insect Staff/glaive) take good use of the new mechanic, the mount, where you can ride on the monster and staby-stab it to make "MASSIVE DAMAGE" to the monster, and leave it vulnarable for several second, that creates opening for others to attack
    and
    another weapon (Charge blade) is one hella of blade, is Sword and Shield and an Axe, can switch between those, to, it can unleashed a fully charged attack which looks and also deals a "Massive Damage" that felt sooooooo satisfying!!

    the new mechanic, the mount, actually does make the gameplay more engaging, you finally going to rely on your surrounding, searching for ledge to attack and mount it, it makes the Hunt felt much alive and immersive? haha but it sure is fun,the climbing of this game is improved greatly, it is faster and better in every way, the new ailments "Frenzy" is also great addition, which i will not spoil it for ya haha,

    Palicoes are back,
    sure , i miss kayamba and chacha from mh3u,
    but u can have 2 palicoes like chacha and kayamba
    and palicoes are much more useful than chacha and kayamba lol
    and u can customize their armor and weapons uwu Meownster hunter!
    and you can find more palicoes when ya hunt more cats more fun!

    with all the great there is also a kinda meh new stuff, which is the Expedition, unlike previous titles, there are no free hunt (google it) in this game, but there is expedition, there is an area called Everwood which are kinda randomly generated, have a different monster available depends on the "rare scale" 1-5. the 1 is normal/weak to 5, strong rare monster, (elder dragon might included) in everwood also you can find Artifacts, for me its a great addition

    Artifacts/Relics is Rare weapon/armor which you can clean it up, upgraded and sometimes are more powerful than your average forge armor,
    that is, super rare to find, as you need to mine it,yes mine it ,most of the time you can mine it on ever wood, those artifact/relics also depends on the Rare scale thou, look it up! its worth it!

    the content of this game,
    it is beyond huge! i felt kinda bad paying rm 125 to this game due to its massive Holy-****-Like content, imagine 1/4 of this game took me about 110 hours, and i also forge like 5 armors 4 weapons, and also DLC/Online Gameplay including Streetpass , also minigames like Meownster Hunter and Fishing? its super huge

    Quest, u find monster you kill monster, gathering quest? read the quest descrition uwu , and it just like the way you remember it

    Monster Design, most of the monster are mosters that are returnign from MHFU/gen 2 monster hunter, which is good, considering i always wanted to hunt those monsters, the MH4U new monster also very damn Cool!,
    the Gore Magala the flagship monster is sure is the BADASS!!

    Online experience, its excellent, rarely lag, even with slow net, no voice chat is quite bummer, but still u can use the touchpad keyboard,
    or use fb, skype and other to communicate,
    and also G rank is wrecking low rank mons like a min? :u gdi ciel

    Free DLC, SUPER HARD QUEST, BEGINNERS ITEM FOR NEW/OLD ALIKE, COOL ARMOR WEAPONS QUEST, INCREASE STORY, FREE PALICOES AND ITS FREEEEEEEEE, FREEEEEEEEEEE FROM CAPCOM Overall: This game is just A must Have for any 3ds owners... after playing the demo ofcouse, and get used to control, and this game also has several nitpick, which is ignorable,and those nitpicking already exist in every single game of this franchise _(:'3 ...meh the game itself it one huge chunk of super satisfying experience even for a single player, its sooo damn good!! GO BUY IT NOWWW Rating: SHUT UP AND BUY THIS GAME! ITS PERFECT!! 1000/10 its beyond perfect. GO BUY IT!!! PLAY IT!! LOVE IT!! ITS GOOOD |*7*/    … Expand

    200hrs in I still feel like there's a TONNE of stuff to learn. Once you reach the next level of difficulty you just start getting creamed again and feel like a complete noob. You can definitely play the lower ranks in a 'casual' way, but as soon as you get to the higher ranks it's more about the challenge than the enjoyment.

Multiplayer is one of the best aspects of this game - coming from someone who solely played with randoms online. Great game, can't recommend it enough. Hands down my favourite game on 3ds so far and on any other platform as well. The immense amount of content and depth they've put into every aspect of the game is just insane. Every monster is so detailed and every fight takes a different approach.

    TLDR: Amazing game, but say goodbye to your social life.    … Expand

    You won’t even notice that you’ve already spent dozens of hours with MH4U and you will understand why whole Japan is addicted to it. A strong candidate for the best 3DS game. [05/2015, p.75]
