     I ordered Monster Hunter 3 along with Lego City during the BestBuy buy 1 get 1 half off, and got an email yesterday saying it was shipped blah blah, but woke up today to see another email from BestBuy with a free Voucher code to Brady Games for the MH3 E-guide.... i was unaware of this being included...

    Just downloaded and opened....49mb pdf download, 524 pages long..... yep, thats a monster hunter guide, lol, very nice surprise to wake up to

And the use of...

BANNED!!

The demo is a terrible representative for the actual game.

In the actual game you have to build up your armor by gathering materials from these giant monsters, You fight a ton of them in different areas, there's towns, different quests aswell that don't always involve these monsters. Besides that the strong point of MH has always been the incredible community-feel it gives and the fun factor of the online gameplay, that's why it has never been as popular in NA/EU as in JP.

As for what you said. The graphics are mediocre because it's a direct "expansion" of the last game on the Wii (sort of). I don't see how the gameplay is extremely dated. The slow-sluggishness was intended and depends on your weapon aswell. Wouldn't be very fair if you were a wallclimbing ninja vs a giant-slow monster, would it? The control system is fine, it just takes time to get used to. As with a lot of console games. The camera system might be bad because you're just not used to controlling that like you have to in Monster Hunter.

Your points are all pretty valid considering the incredible failure of a demo they've put out. They should've added a multiplayer demo, that way you would really get to see the "power" of Monster Hunter.
