Monster Hunter

Fair

When hunting for big game like dragons, all that's missing are a few friends. Now they too can join in the fun with Capcom's latest online adventure. Read Review

Designed by the same team that assembled Resident Evil Outbreak, Monster Hunter is an online action/RPG that boasts base creation, item collection, and a myriad of different creatures. Originally unveiled as a surprise title at E3 2003, the graphic-intensive slasher takes four-player gaming to a world filled with dinosaur-like creatures and bloody weapons-based battles. The game features item creation, weapon customization, and character building. Players can strip their kills of their flesh for food, claws for decoration, and bones for weapons and armor -- not to mention upgrades for existing equipment.

First unveiled at E3 last year, Capcom's Monster Hunter was only shown in looping video footage. Even so, that brief glimpse seemed intriguing, with beautifully rendered warriors fighting huge, fearsome beasts amid fantastic, rolling landscapes bursting with life. Even better, the game was revealed to have online play, letting up to four players team up to take down its numerous monstrosities.
