Monster Hunter Portable 2 (PSP): The Monstrous Screenshots

The tracks of success of Monster Hunter Freedom are still fresh (650,000 sold in Japan, making it the biggest PSP title to date) but here comes Monster Hunter Portable 2 (to be known in the U.S. as Monster Hunter Freedom 2) anyway. According to Famitsu, the sequel begins in Pokke, a village headed by a female chief but the main setting is the snowy mountains around the village. But the gameplay areas extend to a forest, a desert, a volcano and a swamp.

If the snowy mountain area looks familiar it’s because they were featured in Monster Hunter 2 (PS2). But unlike the PS2 title, Monster Hunter Portable 2 does not have its the day-night-season time flow system where conditions change as the game is played. The PSP version features quests taking place at set times of the day. Other PS2 elements carried over to the PSP’s Monster Hunter Portable 2 includes the samurai blade, the hunting horn, and the long bow. Famitsu also mentioned wireless play and downloadable content but didn’t provide the details.
