Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD
August 27, 2011Ever since my family’s TV was changed to HD, I did not want to play the PS2′s Monster Hunter as it appeared stretched. Now that Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD is out, I can enjoy Monster Hunter on the big screen once again.
The game is exactly the same as the PSP version except most of it is HD quality, it looks really great. I say most as some of the menu items and loading screen is not and I can still see jagged edges because of pixelation. It will be nice if everything was in HD.
The other good thing about playing it on the PS3 is the ability to use the PS3 controller and the second analog stick, although I still have to get use to it. When I went for the download option, there seem to be more Felynes for downloading (PS3 exclusive?) but it could be because I did not check it out for a long time.
Transferring your game save from your PSP is not difficult at all. Just connect your PSP to your console and choose Save Game Utility and copy your gamesave over before entering the game.
If you have a PS3 and never own any Monster Hunter games, this will make a great game and introduction as the controls are simple. If you already own the PSP MHP3rd, I don’t really see a need to get this unless you are a die-hard Monster Hunter fan.
