I picked up the entirely free demo disc from GameStop this week for Monster Hunter 3 (or Tri, not sure what I’m supposed to call it). While I applaud this type of marketing, I think they missed a good opportunity to convince me to buy the game. Based on what I’ve read or seen, this game had me very excited. The disc comes with a fold-out control guide, which is fine, but doesn’t really tell you how you’re supposed to play the game. A brief tutorial would’ve been nice. As I time and time again tried hunt a beast, I felt like I had absolutely no clue what I was supposed to be accomplishing. Was there some way I could tell how much closer to death the beast is? Perhaps, but I couldn’t figure that out. Still, this looks pretty awesome and I look forward to renting the full version.
