I've never played the Monster Hunter series before but I've been interested in this game. I got the demo for the 3DS and Wii U to try it out and it's definitely a game that requires a steep learning curve and some research to fully understand what to do. I think though that when you do grasp the controls and gameplay it would be a very rewarding and fun game to play. So I'm not going to give up on it because it isn't always best to make judgement on a game based on its demo.

Anyone else been playing the demo or picking the game up when it's released?

I cancelled my preorder when I found out it was region locked & I couldn't play with US pals on my friendlist.

I just tried the demo on the Wii U. Controls are a bit tough to get used to, but the graphics are pretty nice, and I do like a challenge. I'm gonna pre-order it soon. Seems like a good game to get for online multi-player.

I thought everything about the demo was, frankly bloody awful. Sorry, guys.

IGN have given it 8.8. Great score. I may not get it straight away because I'm planning on getting Lego City: Undercover and I'm a bit tight for money, but I'm still interested in getting it at some point. Hopefully I will enjoy it just as much as the reviewer.
