One of the most important features contributing to the Monster Hunter series' rampant popularity in Japan is the social aspect of the games. This feature continues via the PSP's Ad-Hoc connection in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. From devising strategies to executing attacks, players will need to work together in order to hunt down the ferocious beasts and progress through the wide range of quests on offer. And this effort and cooperation is never in vain. Succeed in this and players will be rewarded for their use of the deep fighting combat systems, encouraging them to seek out even more experienced hunters and team up in order to learn from their experience.
New Game Features
New to Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is the fully customizable AI "felyne" companion who accompanies players on quests and gathers extra resources. He can even can be shared and traded with other players. Also new to Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is the improved "Media Install Option." This new way to play gives players the ability to save portions of the game from UMD to Memory Sticks. This results in much faster load times, as well as improved PSP system battery life since your UMD will not have to be engaged every time your game requires a new file. Finally, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite features a certain level of compatibility with the rest of the Monster Hunter franchise. Fans of the series will be pleased to hear that they can transfer their character and data from Monster Hunter Freedom 2 over to the new game.
All-New Monsters to Battle
There are five new monsters to the game waiting to challenge gamers in battle. These include the Nargacuga, who inhabits the old forest and attacks at lightning speed; the Lavasioth, a lava-breathing reptile who hides in volcanic areas; and the Hypnocatrice, a birdlike monster that wards off hunters with its unique ability to produce sleeping gas.
Key Features:
- The biggest Monster Hunter title to date, with over 500 hours of gameplay.
- Huge variety of character customizations, including 1,500 weapons and 2,000 armor sets.
- Building on the social gaming aspect of the overall Monster Hunter series, players can form a team of up to 4 players through wireless Ad-Hoc play and experience the multiplayer social gaming phenomenon.
- "Media Install" option where players can save the game to a memory stick, allowing the game to load from the memory stick and UMD simultaneously for faster loading times.
- AI "Felyne" companion who will accompany players on quests and gather extra resources. With the 'felyne casting' feature players can share their companions with other players, transferring data using the PSP’s sleep mode.
- Fans of the series can transfer their character data from Monster Hunter Freedom 2 to continue their adventures.
- Five all-new monsters to battle.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP)
I have been a fan of the franchise since the release of Monster Hunter Freedom 1,
This game is definitely worth getting!
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is one of my favourite games to date and this is why...
-Non repetitive gameplay (I noticed someones review said that it's repetitive, not a chance, you just didn't play it enough)
-I've spent almost 600+ hours on this game!
-Multiplayer is extremely fun and brings back memories of LAN multiplayer games (Back when consoles like the N64 were around) making it alot more soaciable.
-Variety within the scenary (Forest and Hills, Volcano, Snowy Mountains, Jungle, Great Forest, Desert and many more!)
-Hugely rewarding! I can't tell you the amount of satisfaction taking down a monster with your friends is!
-A fantastic online community! Everyone who uses Xlink Kai (Networking software for PSP and other consoles) will help you, after all, they're all there to hunt!
However...
-The game contains the vast majority of things that are in Monster Hunter Freedom 2, which is a shame due to the fact that I wanted something new from the game, but instead I got the same experience as I did from Monster Hunter Freedom 2 but bigger.
-This game is not as fun when you're playing it by yourself, get a friend to play, it's where the fun really is.
An overall fantastically fun game with many places to explore, a HUGE variety of monsters to kill with your friends, a long lasting and rewarding experience.

Some of you may have already know, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is the same as Monster Hunter Portable 2G over in Japan. However, since:
1. The game is in a different language
2. Versions were protected by regions
3. Saves can not be transfered from Japan into Europe (an vice verser)
4. Multiplayer mode doesn't work if ther versions were different.
They called it MHFU in Europe and US instead.
Questions you may have asked is: what makes MHFU different from MHF2?
1. You can carry over all of your items and equipments from your previous Monster Hunter 2 Freedom's Save.
2. There's 9 new monster in MHFU
3. In Single player mode, you can take a cat with you during your mission. (My favourate is a cat which uses bomb lol).
4. Once you were into G Missions, almost every Monster gets a new move.
5. Smacking a monster on it's head with a hammer now accompanies a star effect (so you know you are hitting the right spot). Once you smack the head for a sufficient number of times, you can actually stun the monster for bit of laugh. (Not to mention you have created a valuable opportunities for other players so deal with serious damage to whatever you were killing).
6. Enhancement in Hunter Stats (which recordes the number of different type of weapons you have used and so on).
7. Added multi-hunting missions so you'll need to take on 2 - 5 different monsters in the same mission (but its like one monster after another). (E.g. In one of you mission, you'll need to take down Tigrex then Rajing. Rejing only appears after Tigrex is dead).
I've completed my MHP2 by using 350 hours. With MHP2G, I've bring my save upto 650 hours. So in another word, there's still plenty you can do in MHFU.
Lastly, a bit of advice. For those of who wanting to play this game in multi-player mode but having trouble to find people to play with: You can grab yourself a PLANEX Wi-Fi USB Adapter. By using this adaptor plus a software called "Xlink Kai", you can actually link your PSP to anyone else across the world and join a multi-player game as you wish.
THe USB adaptor cost anything from 12 to 20 pounds but XLink is absolutely FREE. It could be a bit tricky to setup with (coz you'll need to change your PSP channel, open 2 ports in your routers and change some of your wireless USB settings). But it does seriously enhance your gameplay experience.

I bought this game after testing the first monster hunter for the PSP.
This review is not supposed to be a detailed overview, or anything like that. I had some questions and doubts, and so after having them answered I figured other people might need help also.
And so:
You need 5.00 firmware. If you do not have it, the UMD will prompt you to install it, as is with all other games, the firmware update comes with the game itself.
The game has no story. If you play final fantasy because of the immersive, 50 hour span story, then this game is not for you.
Everything begins and ends at the same city. There are over 400 quests and mission, and more for you to download through online network.
You develop you character by creating new armour, items, and weapons, the only level in this game are the ranks.
In order to advance in rank, you have to complete all missions or quest of the previous rank.
You can capture or kill monsters, it's up to you.
Capturing wields more items, while killing them is easier, but you are left with whatever the monster ends up dropping. The end result is the same, you only kill monsters in order to get items.
