As a massive fan of the Monster Hunter franchise since its initial release, I am glad that the latest installment of the series, Monster Hunter 3DS for the Nintendo 3DS, is currently available. With its huge roster of monsters to fight, incredibly detailed weapons and armor, and a gripping story that encourages exploration, this is one of the best handheld versions of the franchise to date.

The first thing that sets Monster Hunter 3DS apart from the other Monster Hunter titles is its impressive visual design. Sporting polygonal graphics with watercolor-esque backgrounds and textures, Monster Hunter 3DS looks good both on the big screen and on the small one. Character models are also highly detailed, giving fans of the franchise lots of eye candy to ogle. On top of that, the 3D effect does add a lot to the game giving off a unique atmosphere to the game which helps add to the overall experience that this game has to offer.

Gameplay wise, Monster Hunter 3DS follows the same formula as the other MH titles. You take on the role of a hunter who embarks on a journey to slay monsters. The game has a pretty lenient learning curve, making it easy for newcomers to jump in and start killing monsters right away. On top of that, the game also features a ton of weapons and armors to choose from, giving players lots of customisation options to make the game more exciting.

One of the best things about Monster Hunter 3DS is the enormous roster of monsters to fight. This gives players a huge variety of enemies to face and adds a lot of depth to the game. The monsters all have their own unique characteristics and behaviors, making each fight fun and unpredictable. Additionally, killing monsters rewards you with valuable materials which can then be used to craft bigger and better weapons and armors.

Overall, Monster Hunter 3DS is the perfect game to take on the go for fans of the Monster Hunter franchise. With its impressive visuals, huge variety of monsters to fight, and many weapons and armors to choose from, this is an incredibly fun game that will give players hours of content.
