Is it any good?</big>
Yes. The Monster Hunter series is one of the biggest games in Japan right now. It's also fairly popular here in North America. As of now, most of the games in the series can be played on the PSP. Monster Hunter 3 was released in Japan on August 1, 2009, and it sold 500,000 copies in the first two days alone. Famitsu, a popular and respected Japanese gaming magazine also gave it a 40/40, making Monster Hunter 3 the 11th game to receive a perfect score.
