Although, even though no lock-on may seem odd at first, I believe it forces players to develop an extra layer of strategy, allowing them to survey their surroundings. Besides, lock-on, I believe, would make some of the dual-monster quests later on in the game a bit tougher. Also, as for the animations after consuming items, it prevents item spamming and makes for another area of battle that calls for strategic timing. All in all though, great review, and even though this game does have it's flaws, I believe they are all understandable and, in the end, make this experience what it is. Side note: When I first bought the game and pulled out the manual, I was quite intimidated >< Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:25:06 +0000 http://thewiire.com/reviews/post/6270-monster-hunter-tri#IDComment87567317 http://thewiire.com/blog/post/6303-the-wiire-podcast-169#IDComment86606032 It's going to be a hardcore character: Reggie the Rainbow Shark. It'll be Reggie who was mutated into a shark somehow, and he has to infiltrate and destroy the PR headquarters of Sony and Microsoft. EDIT: Mike, I was getting mad alongside you. You guys NEED to give Monster Hunter Tri a chance. Ian, I believe that the quality of a game should not be measured in how long it takes to finish a game, rather, it should be measured in how much entertainment you can draw from it. I mean, It took me about 100 hours to finish every single offline quest, but the thing is, the entire time, I felt like I was having fun, playing a really good game. It never became a chore. Even up to NOW, at 180 hours, I STILL have the same kind of experience, I still have fun. So yeah, give it another shot. And listen, just learn the mechanics, and I'll help you with all the online quests XP Wed, 14 Jul 2010 07:45:27 +0000 http://thewiire.com/blog/post/6303-the-wiire-podcast-169#IDComment86606032 http://thewiire.com/blog/post/6297-the-wiire-podcast-168#IDComment83495489 You just completely blew my mind.

Though I wonder, if Retro WEREN'T being put to use on making a new IP, what would you want to see them do? Would you want them to try and revive one of Nintendo's older franchises?

I think that they should put in some actual boss fights to make the experience more dynamic. I also think that more weapons should be added (like an actual sniper), the online multiplayer, alongside the security upgrade, should feature more customabizable options in regards to how the matches are set up (ie being able to turn off radar and names), and have not only competitive split-screen multiplayer, but make the campaign split-screen as well. Well those are the only changes I would like that I can think of at the moment. Did I miss anything guys?

I mean, the 360 and PS3 already have left for dead 2. Granted, this game has more creatures, but I feel like this game was meant to give the wii owners something that other system owners didn't get, and then some. But apparently, that's not going to be happening. I just lost a bunch of hope in High Voltage.

I'll start: The Wiire's Fire (The FireWiire?) WiiWaas ... Crud I can't think of anything else. Come on people, contribute to the list! P.S: Great show again as always gentlemen.

It's okay pal. Look at it this way, at least you're not being forced to play this game.

I would've loved to have the motorcycle come back with those issues fixed, because those little things really soured it for me.

I mean, I can understand trilogy because it was meant to be a collector's edition, and charged and BWii were really early titles. Were WarioLand's sales that abysmal?
