Monster Hunter G

Monster Hunter is an action role-playing game for the PlayStation 2. The majority of the content is in the online section of the game. Only some monsters are found in single-player and the player's rewards are smaller when they are offline. The goal for players online is not to defeat the most monsters but to reach the highest hunter rank, which is the storyline that is carried out online by non-player characters. Monster Hunter places the player in the role of an up-and-coming hunter who must accomplish various quests to achieve glory. Armors, weapons, and other items are created from the remains of slain monsters by carving off their horns, scales and bones, as well as from mining for ores in the field. Monster Hunter plays in a similar fashion to Phantasy Star Online allowing the player to team up with up to three other hunters online to take down stronger monsters. Monster Hunter is played through quests given to the hunter by the Village Elder or the Town Guild. Event quests are not vital to a hunter's success in the game, but are a useful way to gain experience and to obtain some rare items. All of the quests allow two deaths, but the third death marks the failure of the quest. The only exceptions to this rule are some of the Event quests and all the Training missions, which are failed with just one death. Hunters can be classified as either Blademasters or Gunners. Classifications and use of sub-category weapons are not chosen and solidified into a file; hunters are able to choose to use any weapon they want, before the start of any quest or event, as long as they have the proper money and/or supplies to do so. Armor is always dependent on whether one chooses to use a Blademaster or Gunner weapon .
