Monster Hunter Tri

Monster Hunter Tri depicts an ecosystem where man co-exists with fantastic beasts that roam both the land and the sea. Featuring both online and offline cooperative modes, players can join online hunting parties with up to four players or play with two players on a single TV for select quests. Players also have the option to face the quests as a single player experience accompanied by Cha-Cha, an AI hunting partner whose tracking and trapping skills prove invaluable in the hunt. The player is a hunter who takes quests to track and fight large monsters, and then turns the parts into weapons and armor. The game is the first in the series with underwater combat, and the sea monster Lagiacrus is its main creature. Moga Village is the base for offline play, and Port Tanzia is the online base. The game can be controlled with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk or with the Classic Controller. Weapons include the Great Sword, Long Sword, Hammer and Lance. Better gear needs materials from tougher monsters, and this loop of hunting and crafting drives progress.
