Monster Hunter is a game that watching is much more enjoyable then playing. I found it to be very difficult to start with. After couple first attempts on big boss i was like "this monster is unkillable, im slashing throwing bombs etc, and that dosnt do anything!" But it mite be just solo mode, in multiplayer with freands it looks much better, cause monster dosn't focus only on you.. and getting down him is much more easyer and less able to go nuts for you at the end :P Conclusion.. play it with freands, unless your korean.. then you will handle it with one hand.
