Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the Western release of Monster Hunter 4G. Players take on the role of a hunter that joins up with a traveling caravan to explore new lands and towns along the way. The game includes hundreds of quests against a variety of extraordinary creatures that yield valuable resources used for weapons and equipment. For the first time in the series on a handheld system, players can join up with friends over the internet, as well as through the local wireless option available before. A hunt starts with a quest, and the player prepares by choosing a weapon, armor and items. The game has 14 weapon types, including the Insect Glaive and Charge Blade that are new to the series with Monster Hunter 4. Hunters can climb ledges and jump off them to mount a monster, which lets them attack it from its back. Felyne companions called Palicoes fight alongside the hunter. Materials from each monster are crafted into stronger weapons and armor, and that gear is then used on harder monsters.
