Monster Hunter Freedom for the PSP (PlayStation Portable) is virtually a straight port of Monster Hunter G, which itself was a slightly beefed up. In its translation onto the PSP, Freedom has been stripped of Internet play, which was deeply flawed in the original Monster Hunter but still a rather critical component of the experience. The series’ passionate following should be thrilled that some form of Monster Hunter G is getting a proper US release, but by gutting the online component and failing to address the original Monster Hunter’s problematic camera and clumsy combat, Capcom has released a game that is both promising and simultaneously difficult to recommend.
