Completely nostalgia filled review, but this was my first Monster Hunter game and the only Monster Hunter game where me and a group of friends actually played through together.

Lots of good memories with this one. Made me a longtime fan even if my friends aren't as interested in the series anymore. This game also introduced some really cool monsters, like the Gore Magala line.

Only gripe with this game is the relic weapon system, however, everything else is close to perfection in my eyes.
