Monster Hunter 2

Monster Hunter 2 (2006)

by Capcom
Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Themes:Action, Sandbox
Game modes:Single player, Co-operative, Multiplayer
Story:Monster Hunter 2 has an improved weapon tree and upgradeable armors. As in all Monster Hunter games, armor pieces can be worn to obtain skills and abilities. A new feature in Monster Hunter 2 is the use of gems. Gems add skill points to complement those added by armor and weapons. Gems are created by combining ore and/or monster parts. Gems can be attached and detached from armor and weapons that have special gem slots. Along with the various species of monster returning from the first Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter 2 contains many new monsters, such as the metallic wind dragon Kushala Daora, the lion-headed dragon Teo Teskatoru (named Teostra in the North American and PAL versions of Monster Hunter Freedom 2) and his female counterpart Nana Teskatory (named Lunastra in the North American and PAL versions of MHF2), the primates Babakonga and Dodobrango (Congalala and Blangonga in MHF2), the bull or minotaur-like monster Rajang, and the chameleon-like dragon Oonazuchi (Chameleos in MHF2). With new monsters also comes the prospect of new weapons and armor.Show more

Probably to date the most experimental entry in the Monster Hunter games, Dos has a lot of strange features on offer. It's got the oldschool styled city/town hub in the premiere appearance of Dundorma - probably my fav town in the series (love the vibes). Jumbo village is really cool as well, and Dos is also where Elder Dragons, the original trinity of Teostra, Chameleos and Kushala Daora first got to show their stuff (as well as some other, longstanding secret friends :)). I will admit I haven't gotten too far into Dos myself so I can't really speak on the quality of the Elder Dragon fights, but I will say that the "seasons" system is incredibly novel AND COOL!! It was actually a real big shame that it turned out they weren't bringing it back for Wilds since that was the kinda vibe I was getting from that game's weather system at first. Back to Dos though, the game is really neat and it's a shame that it's stuck on the PS2 with dead servers.

There's no other Monster Hunter like this one. Not only did this game have a Day and Night cycle but it also had Seasons. These features changed which Monsters were available and what sort of items you can gather. Does it make it harder for the player to carry out a specific plan? Yes, but it is quite immersive. Still has attacks tied to the right analog stick, which doesn't take too long to get used to. Still has that addictive Monster Hunter gameplay loop that lives on to this day. This game also introduced Gunlance so it is by default a cooler game than Monster Hunter 1.

What to say about this MH? there is a lot of things to be honest, the village jumbo, the evolution that haves when you progress its something that is not more in the saga, the stations and day night mechanic, the felyne kitchen with the ingredients, the possibility to evolve your armor to high rank, the farm, this game was so important because it was an experiment after the first one, and make a lot of things that still are on the series besides a more lot of thing that are only in this one, like the wierd pvp thing tho, i wants this game to be preservated, having an official traduction to spanish, being able to play it in an official way, will be so awesomeeee pls capcom bring us your's older mh games to modernity
