Synopsis
Monster Hunter Generations introduces new gameplay mechanics including Styles and Hunter Arts that can further refine a very personalized playstyle. Mount monsters from mid-air using the Aerial style or make the most out of the advantageous Hunter Arts abilities with the Striker style. Hunter Arts are visually striking, indispensable combat skills and power-ups that hunters using any style or weapon can equip. Along the hunter’s journey, players must defend each of the game’s four villages from new major threats—the Fated Four. With hundreds of quests in store, there are tons of challenges to tackle in a solo adventure, and also via local or online play with up to three other hunters.

Predictably impenetrable, but cut through the leathery hide and there's enough great game in here to give a Tigrex indigestion.

With countless quests that can be tackled solo or with friends, it is easy to sink hundreds of hours into Generations, but this should not surprise anyone who is familiar with the franchise. Doing all the training missions makes everything get off to a slow start, but given how much there is to do here it is a worthwhile endeavor since they take all the complexities of this title and break them down to their simplest components.

Monster Hunter Generations hits the core tenets of what makes this series great. Great gear drives the lust for the hunt even on the small scale, but the big, spectacular fights ultimately matter the most. Generations’ tweaked combat adds just the right tools to make slaying epic boss monsters a fun activity that’s just as fun online or off.

The Monster Hunter franchise continues to grow in popularity with each subsequent entry and Monster Hunter Generations should help elevate that even further. The game adds new features like the Hunter Styles and Arts, which complement the already existing foundation very well. While Capcom could have shaken up the formula further, they know exactly what fans enjoy and have given them that and more in Monster Hunter Generations.

Monster Hunter Generations is the pinnacle game in the series and a must-buy for anyone looking for a solid multiplayer action RPG on the 3DS, even hunting monsters solo is a blast. Just be sure to pick up a Circle Pad or Circle Pad Pro if you don't have one of the NEW 3DS lines, as controlling the camera with touch isn't great.

Keeping with the tradition of Monster Hunter sequels, Generations doesn't rock the boat. Instead, it doubles down on the core formula, while tweaking several existing features to make them much friendlier. Overall, it's an experience designed for Monster Hunter veterans—but one that also extends a helping hand to newcomers.

After dozens of hours I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of this adventure--there are other weapons and Hunter Art combinations I want to try, and of course, there are many more monsters to hunt. With Monster Hunter you get out what you put into the game, and Monster Hunter Generations is a game that compels me to put in more of my time.

Monster Hunter Generations is a game that caters heavily to fans of the series, but sometimes leaves new players in the dust. Yet, a deep armory of gear and an engaging multiplayer experience deliver a game that offers hours of gameplay for those who don’t mind the grind.

Even better, we can spend more time enjoying our newfound individuality and actually savoring the game, because we can spend less time grinding for specific materials. The improved gathering means we have an option when it comes to creating our equipment. We can spend hours on it or make do with what we have to move forward. We can even be Palicos! It’s a wonderful time to be a hunter.

Monster Hunter Generations feels like a slight step forward while changing things up a bit in the formula. The Hunter Styles and Hunter Arts add a lot to the game play, and sometimes it even feels like a new weapon wasn’t needed. The improvements here are a nice welcome, and the numerous quests to take on will keep players busy for well over 80 hours.

But in the end we feel the same way about Generations as we did about Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate last year: it's a fun game that requires far too much grinding. We only wish there were more new things to talk about instead of just the same old hunter's song and dance.

Whatever your playstyle, you eventually hit the deep endgame to try and collect the best gear from deviant monsters, challenging encounters that have different abilities that the hunter won’t be ready for. Players can easily spend most of their time with Monster Hunter Generations at the endgame, hunting down the best of the best armor and weapons while tackling ferocious beasts.

This is definitely the best Monster Hunter game I have played. There are tons of quests, both online and off, the monsters are some of the best ever, and it looks to please both newcomers and veterans alike. This truly does feel like a "Greatest Hits" album, except with a handful of new singles that are as good as the band has ever been. It's like a clip show with some wonderfully original scenes thrown in for good measure.

This franchise is yet to reach near-perfection (total perfection is impossible, of course), but it's still one of the most enjoyable and immersive time-sinks to be found on Nintendo hardware. For any gamer ready for a long-term challenge, with tough battles and plenty of complexity to master, this is most certainly worth hunting down.

Monster Hunter has, over the past few years become one of my favorite series in gaming. But Generations, given its name, feels like an attempt to starve off a potential portable generation jump (especially when it comes to visuals), something to fill up time and piecemeal upgrade the previous title in the series before the inevitable Monster Hunter 5.

New ways to play are interesting to experiment with, but many combinations of weapon types and new hunting styles simply feel outclassed by other options. Still, with at least a couple of viable combos per weapon class, the system can still be seen as a success, as can Prowler mode, its playable cats are perfect for less skilled players joining group hunts without too much risk.

Monster Hunter has a huge fan-base, but those new to the hunting genre may find it very difficult to get into Monster Hunter Generations. The combat and design can be quite niche and challenging to newcomers. That being said, though, for fans of the series, this is a superb addition. It may not have much of a narrative, but the focus on gameplay and new additions make this a fantastic amalgamation worthy of its price-tag.

Monster Hunter Generations is the most complete game in the series yet, and the best one at that. If you have friends or family you can hunt with regularly, this is an absolute essential for 3DS.

Monster Hunter Generations builds upon its illustrious predecessor and refines the concept even further. However, despite these improvements, there are problems that one cannot ignore. The hard-to-handle camera for example, the confusing menu navigation, and the frequently repetitive gameplay. These faults sit alongside a lovingly crafted world and a reward system that values hard work.

It’s fun to speculate what might happen in the future, but for now this is the best Monster Hunter game so far and one of the best co-op experiences ever on a portable. So if you’ve been waiting for the ideal opportunity to try the series out, your hunt is over.

While it’s not as essential as Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate was, those wanting to keep in the loop should seriously consider picking up a copy. While some of the bonus features do little to spice up the core game, there’s an embarrassment of riches to be found in the sheer volume of content on offer.

Monster Hunter Generations no rompe convenciones, pero sí que hace lo suficiente como para mantener en la cima a una saga que con cada videojuego se hace más grande y gana en posibilidades. La introducción de los gatadores y los estilos de caza, así como la presencia de más poblados y monstruos hace de este Monster Hunter uno de los más duraderos y novedosos.

Monster Hunter Generations reúne lo mejor de una saga en un solo cartucho, ofreciéndonos un producto muy completo y con el que revivir más de una década de inolvidables cacerías. Sí, echamos de menos una mayor cantidad de nuevos monstruos y escenarios, pero eso no ha evitado que nos lo hayamos pasado en grande con su propuesta mientras abatíamos una criatura tras otra y probábamos todo tipo de combinaciones de estilos, armas y habilidades.

En general, Monster Hunter Generations es un título muy bien logrado que los fans de los títulos de caza van a disfrutar. Si jugabas Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate sentirás que la aventura continúa y si eres nuevo, este mundo te parecerá enorme. Sabemos que no cualquiera podrá atender el llamado y sobrevivir, pues la aventura requiere muchas horas de dedicación debido a las mecánicas nuevas y a la cantidad de posibilidades que el juego ofrece.

Es interesante la insistencia (evidentemente animada por los ingresos que genera la serie, sobre todo en Japón) de Capcom, una compañía que ha visto días mejores, con una fórmula tan peculiar como la de los Monster Hunter, tan densa, tan machacona, tan desagradecida cuando quiere; una fórmula que tarda en calar pero que cuando cala deja el tipo de huella que resiste al paso del tiempo, que aguanta en la memoria. Queda claro que hablar de generaciones no es un capricho ni una exageración: es el fruto del trabajo bien hecho.

Puede que Monster Hunter Generations no suponga un cambio brusco en la saga, pero probablemente aquel fan de la saga ligado a la comunidad ya lo haya comprado antes de leer estas líneas. El jugador que no disfrutó del juego en una primera aproximación a alguna de las otras entregas probablemente tampoco disfrutará de esta: el combate exigente, el crafteo, el grindeo y la rutina siguen (y seguirán) ahí.

Monster Hunter Generations quizás no sea el salto en la saga que esperaban todos los seguidores de la franquicia. Al no ser un juego Ultimate puede quedarse corto en algunos aspectos pero es un buen primer escalón para los novatos y una divertida manera de reunir todo lo que ha hecho grande a la franquicia en un título.

Por donde lo veas, Monster Hunter Generations es un increíble título que retoma lo mejor de la saga, lo combina con nuevas mecánicas y lo presenta en una carta que disfrutarán los más fieles adeptos a ella y que apreciaran quienes apenas se inician con ella. Es toda una experiencia de cacería que no debes dejar pasar.

Su evolución no impacta tanto como la de MH4 Ultimate, pero es una genial restrospectiva de la saga que añade contenidos nuevos y les da una vuelta de tuerca a los fundamentos jugables. Para jugar en solitario, merece mucho la pena; para jugar en compañía, no sólo es gloria monstruosa, sino que no hay prácticamente nada que le pueda plantar cara.

Monster Hunter Generations ist ohne Zweifel wieder ein Schritt nach vorn für die Reihe. Einen großen Schritt macht es vor allem mit dem Pirscher-Modus, der die Reize des Spiels auch für Einsteiger erfahrbar macht. Veteranen bekommen mit Stilen und Techniken ein paar neue Spielzeuge an die Hand, müssen sich dafür aber auch damit abfinden, mehr bekannte Monster in bekannten Gebieten zu jagen.

Ich bin der Meinung, dass Monster Hunter nicht auf einen kleinen, sondern einen großen Bildschirm gehört und man endlich den Schritt zu einer zusammenhängenden Spielwelt mit dynamischem Ökosystem wagen sollte. Die Immersion wäre so viel größer, die Jagd so viel spannender. Trotzdem zieht mich auch die aktuelle Handheld-Monsterhatz mit ihren nach wie vor motivierenden Jagd- und Sammelreizen in ihren Bann. Und das obwohl es jede Menge Recycling und nur wenige echte Neuerungen gibt.

Aujourd'hui Monster Hunter est de retour avec un nouveau gameplay plus dynamique et de nouveaux monstres encore plus impressionnants. On ne peut qu'être conquis par cette version "Generations". Toutefois, on ne peut s'empêcher de se demander quand Capcom décidera de changer de support pour nous proposer un Monster Hunter sur une console capable d'afficher des graphismes en haute-définition peut-être ?

Que penser alors de cet épisode Generations ? Son système de combat enrichi pousse indéniablement la série vers l’avant, elle qui semblait pourtant si frileuse à faire évoluer son concept en profondeur au fil des épisodes. Sous ses airs de simple best-of des quatre précédentes générations, ce nouveau volet est celui qui fait le plus évoluer la série depuis bien des années.

Avec son contenu gigantesque, Monster Hunter Generations vous offrira des centaines d’heures de jeu grâce à son aventure solo mais aussi un mode multijoueur en ligne efficace et qui prend tout son sens grâce aux nouveaux styles de combat. Exit les équipes où tous les membres se ressemblent, ici, il faut penser à recruter des joueurs ayant des caractéristiques différentes des nôtres afin de créer la team la plus homogène possible.

Monster Hunter Generations é um título complicado de avaliar ao tratar-se possivelmente do último jogo desta quarta era da série e como tal, contém imenso conteúdo já visto, poucos monstros novos, demonstra alguma estagnação visual e tem uma apresentação mais fraca que o anterior.

È indubbiamente l'episodio più completo, personalizzabile e accessibile di tutti, tant'è che potrebbe sembrare anche piuttosto facile agli occhi dei cacciatori esperti. Quest'ultimi potrebbero avvertire una certa stanchezza, nonostante l'introduzione degli stili e delle arti, ma la varietà contenutistica dell'offerta Capcom dovrebbe spronarli a investire il loro tempo anche in questa nuova avventura.

Con Monster Hunter, Capcom non sbaglia un colpo. Un episodio di passaggio, senza sconvolgimenti generazionali, ma con una mole di contenuti incredibili, un bilanciamento sopraffino e un occhio di riguardo per i neofiti.

Per quanto ci riguarda, Monster Hunter Generations è il miglior capitolo della serie fin qui. Lo è per la sua accresciuta accessibilità, che lo rende, per la prima volta, un acquisto assai appetibile anche per i neofiti, lo è per la mastodontica offerta ludica, che comprende quattro villaggi e centinaia di quest, lo è per il tentativo di innovare e rifinire una formula che rasentava già prima la perfezione, e che guadagna in immediatezza e quantità di variabili tattiche. Il timore di un episodio troppo semplificato, mirat

Meski Monster Hunter Generations memiliki beberapa kelemahan, seperti misi awal yang berulang-ulang, cerita yang tidak istimewa, dan tutorial yang menjadi mimpi buruk bagi para pemain, namun pengalaman bermain single-player dan multiplayer yang ditawarkan cukup untuk membuat kamu tidak bergerak dari kursi tempatmu bermain selama berjam-jam.

Er zijn nauwelijks kritiekpuntjes te ontdekken in de game. Het enige kritiekpunt dat noemenswaardig is, is het feit dat de 3D effecten niet of nauwelijks aanwezig zijn. Maar gezien het feit dat de meeste 3DS spelers nauwelijks gebruik maken van deze effecten is het Capcom vergeven dat ze heeft gefocust op het maken van een zeer toffe game. Deze zomer mag je op jacht, en die jacht is met de toevoegingen van de gigantische hoeveelheid monsters en de voor nieuwkomers zeer eenvoudige Prowler Mode ontzettend goed!

Het mag dan wat makkelijker en korter zijn dan eerdere delen, maar wat je inlevert in speelduur, krijg je dubbel en dwars terug in de meer gevarieerde gameplay. Het spel biedt bekende omgevingen en bijna evenveel monsters als voorheen, maar nooit eerder kon je die monsters op zoveel manieren te lijf gaan - en waren al die verschillende speelstijlen zo goed gebalanceerd.

Generations är med sin underhållande spelmekanik, sitt djup och beroendeframkallande koncept samt njutbara flerspelarläge en gedigen upplevelse. Tillförandet av hunter styles och arts samt möjligheten att spela som Felyne är roliga om dock inte revolutionerande tillskott. Designen på monstren är ljuvlig, och mängden material tillräckligt för att underhålla i många timmar.
