Dinosaur hunting and beast killing with groups of gamers returns to the PS2 with the arrival of Monster Hunter G. Upon starting the game, players choose from a male or female character and outfit the new champion in various types of armor, helmets, manacles and other accoutrements to individualize every hero. The weapons are as big as ever and a new assortment of spears and swords may be hefted for killing forays. The option to carry a weapon in each hand is also possible now which makes attacking monsters less of a chore than the original Monster Hunter. Massive winged creatures make up a good portion of the monsters in the game but ground based dinosaurs also inhabit the environment. Landscapes range from dead and misty forests, blazing deserts, and lush tropical havens with their own bunch of particular monsters to track and kill. When attacking jumpy and excitable beasts, one may be overcome if they decide to gang up but sweeping berserker attacks may be pulled off to fend them off. Larger monsters tend to move little and provide a massive and stationary meat target for the most part. The amount of blood spraying every which way with each stroke is copious and like the original, MHG may be played online or offline. View the back cover and screenshots.
