Is it still worth playing?
This enhanced Nintendo 3DS port of Monster Hunter Tri reached North America and Europe in March 2013. You are a hunter from the Guild, assigned to help Moga Village, a small fishing community threatened by monsters from a nearby island. Free hunts on the island let you collect materials and slay or capture monsters, which become resources to improve the village. Guild quests pay money and materials for equipment that lets you take on harder monsters. Each weapon type has its own style: a sword builds combos but needs its blade sharpness watched. Equipment made from the monsters you hunt, and a village that grows from the same spoils, still give every hunt a use beyond itself.
