Monster Hunter 3: New monsters to hunt, new places to hunt them

by JC Fletcher on Jan 22nd 2009 3:32PM

We've been looking at screens of the ported Monster Hunter G lately, so to return to Monster Hunter 3, which is already one of the best-looking Wii games, is dramatic. Capcom's use of all kinds of crazy lighting in the sequel is effective, giving the action RPG a "next gen" feel. Really, they could make the whole thing in the ugly old Monster Hunter G engine and still sell millions of copies.

The latest screens introduce a weird locale that appears to be somehow part desert and part swamp, full of nests of giant, monstrous insects, and home to this guy. This dragon, called "Boruboros" (probably "Volvolos" or something in English) comes out of a big mud pit and attacks with his giant, hard head.

plz let this come here, graphics look really good, and gameplay looks pretty tight to

As long as there is no Tigerx, I'm happy.

And the next worst thing next to a Tigerx is fighting a Tigerx with a crappy controls.

why the tigrex hate? it was easy to kill after the first attempt. you just have to flash the crap out of it. ;)

that "boruboros" would actually be a wyvern. a big, big wyvern. the dragons all have wings on their backs. that doesn't have wings.

This reminds me of a PC game I always loved, carnivores 2. Look it up.

*crawls out from under rock*
