An expanded game of Monster Hunter
Monster Hunter G is a Japan-exclusive expansion of Monster Hunter for PlayStation 2. It featured more Quests, equipment, and recolors of the original monsters, as well as a brand new tier of "G-class" or "G-rank" Quests. The Hunter Rank cap was increased from HR20 to HR30, and many quality of life features were added to this version. Monster Hunter G was originally released on PlayStation 2 in 2005 but rereleased on the Nintendo Wii in 2009. The Wii version features many gameplay changes that made it more akin to the preceding Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

No idea how this became a franchise. The worst Monster Hunter, and it's the first one. I'm glad this became a franchise, but this is one of the worst experiences of my life. The weapon balance is so bad you'd think XX was the pinnacle of weapon design. The AI, maps, progression routes, everything about this game is some of the worst the franchise has to offer. It really only went up from here, this is an insanely bad game.
