Update: February 19, 2007
«©NCSX» Stalk out into the wilds once again and hunt monsters with weapons and adept chopping skills. At the outset of the game, players create a hero and select the sex, inner clothing, face type, hair style, hair color, and voice. Once generated, it's time to explore the new village of Pokke which serves as your base of operations. Pokke is situated in an icy part of the world where every village edifice is capped by snow although there's greenery as well. For a little bit of variety, the terrain around Pokke consists of swamps, a temperate forest, and even a sandy beach area. The Hunter's Guild features prominently in the village landscape while the living quarters are situated to the west. New is the Ailu Kitchen where a meal may be gobbled and the Ailu Board. Quests may be secured from the Guild where targeted assignments are completed to earn coin. Weapons from the first Monster Hunter Portable game are present in the sequel but new weapons include different types of swords and bows. Weapons may also be enhanced with accessories such as a shield for the heavy bowgun which attaches to the side, a silencer, a long barrel, and a scope for zooming in on monsters in the distance. Various sorts of vicious looking wyverns as well as docile herbivores may be challenged and slaughtered. Despite the killing theme of the game, it still feels wrong to run up to a peaceful animal that's minding its own business and chewing some delicious grass and then chop it to death.
