    No matter which control method you use, Monster Hunter Tri provides a good challenge. Preparation is the absolute key to success, so you need to take the right supplies for the mission.

    • Hours upon hours of gameplay - another online title for the Wii - Bundled with the Classic Controller Pro - Another use for WiiSpeak... if you have one
    • Tough to enter online by yourself - Don't like the grind? Don't waste your time - takes a while to hit the big hunts - a lot of running back to base to recoup
