Monster Hunter Freedom 2 is quite the milestone title in Japan, where it currently stands as the only PlayStation Portable title to shift over a million units. It plays out like a combination of Phantasy Star Online and Pokemon, two of the most addictive and endlessly satisfying releases of the last decade. Though the original Monster Hunter Freedom failed to find a huge North American following, Capcom is giving it another shot this fall with the numbered sequel that packs a considerable amount of single-player content, as well as four-player Ad Hoc play and the prospect of downloadable content.

Siliconera: Monster Hunter is Capcom’s go-to franchise for Japanese sales. It may not sell by the bucketload overseas, but in Japan, it’s a social phenomenon with sales of recent titles in the range of millions of units.
Andriasang: Monster Hunter Portable 3rd's packaging has been revealed. How does it compare to clones of itself?
They should add a online mode like they did for the ps2 version. I hope the one on ps3 has it.
