I would agree with this review, based on reviewing the game for people new to the series. I played this game on the 360 just after the 2nd game came out.
The story and characters are great, but some parts of this game are unrefined and a chore.
I've enjoyed getting back into this game. It's a good length, but I think they dragged the story just a little too long (which they did for the sequel too, disappointingly). Rejuvenating an area full of flowers and colour never gets old.
Also forgotten how long and tedious the intro was. Surely they could have added a skip function.
I just can't justify spending $350 on another console. It's not like I don't have the money, it's just that I can't see myself getting much use out of it for a while (learnt my lesson from the 3DS ).
As much as I'd like to play MHP3rd with Vita controls (and Rayman Origins), I'm going to wait for some more games to come out.
Even though I've got this on PS3, I'd probably snap this up for cheap if I eventually buy a vita. Seems a great fit for a portable. And hopefully doesn't annoy me as much as the original did on my PSP.
I've seen GAME have been advertising it a bit. But JB's would probably be the way to go. Saying that, I'm not planning on buying one at launch, so haven't been following the prices over here too closely.

Intriguing.

Sounds great.

It had a good run.

Re: Muramasa: The Demon Blade Stuns with Brief Vita Footage
This might push me into getting a Vita.
Re: Now You Can Peruse the PS Store with Your Web Browser
Ah nice. Should make it a lot easier to buy.
Re: Talking Point: What Went Wrong with PlayStation All-Stars?
Release a demo.
Re: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DLC Spreads to PS3 in Early 2013
Wish I got this on 360.
Re: Review: Far Cry 3 (PlayStation 3)
Excited about playing this. Wasn't on my radar, but the reviews I've read make it sound like it would be right up my alley.
Re: Review: Okami HD (PlayStation Network)
Depends on if the story drags.

Re: The Mechromancer Targets Borderlands 2 in October
Pre-Ordered. Cant wait.
Re: You'll Probably Want to Play This 16-Bit Version of Borderlands
Haha. Wore out it's welcome fairly quickly, but a cool advertisement nonetheless.
Re: Review: Darksiders II (PlayStation 3)
Getting it this weekend. Looking forward to it.
Re: Review: Spec Ops: The Line (PlayStation 3)
I keep hearing good things about this game. Might have to pick it up.
Re: Grand Theft Auto III Hijacking PSN on 31st July
Don't think I ever finished this game. Just ran around and got arrested.
Re: Latest Darksiders II Trailer Rides Online
Looking good. Cant wait.
Re: Gearbox Really Wants Borderlands 2 on Vita
If the Vita had this and a Monster Hunter, the money wouldn't be able to leave my wallet fast enough.
Re: Camilla Luddington Steps into the Shoes of Lara Croft
Camilla was good in Californication.
Re: Sony Announces Limited Edition Gold DualShock 3
I need to buy a new controller, so I've pre-ordered this. Good timing.
Re: Naughty Bear Strolls onto PSN This Year
Nice caption there.
Re: Review: Trine 2 (PlayStation Network)
A water level at the beginning of the trailer isn't the best way to get me interested.
Though i did like the look of the rest of the game. Will download the demo shortly.
Re: Store Update: 29th May 2012 (North America)
Seems to be a lot of Rayman about recently. Is RM Arena any good? I've never heard of it.
Batman will be a definite download when I get some free time next week.
Re: Review: Dragon's Dogma (PlayStation 3)
Nice review James. I can see myself picking up this game sometime soon.
Re: Stock Up with Borderlands 2's Ultimate Loot Edition
Where do people find room to put these things? I barely like having to find room for the case the disk came in!
Re: Harley Quinn Struts into Batman: Arkham City
Any reason to pop this game back in.
Re: Dawnguard Storms Skyrim Later This Year
Lovely work @Swiket.
I'm still yet to finish my first playthrough of Skyrim, but I think might be time to pick it back up sometime soon.
Re: Darksiders II Staying in the Shadows until August
Dang. So keen for this.
Re: Mass Effect 3 Sales Eclipse 1.3 Million in North America
Lovely puns there.

Re: BioWare Seeking "Closure" for Mass Effect 3 Ending
Haven't reached the end of the game yet (how do people find the time?!) but the journey there has been a blast.
Re: Amazon France Outs Ratchet & Clank HD Collection
So getting this.
Re: Medal of Honor: Warfighter to Include Hardcore Mode
Just one bang.
Re: Rayman Origins Vita Launch Trailer Hops Online
Even though I've got this on PS3, I'd probably snap this up for cheap if I eventually buy a vita. Seems a great fit for a portable. And hopefully doesn't annoy me as much as the original did on my PSP.
Re: Take Back Earth in Mass Effect 3
Demo was good. Hurry up and come out.
Re: Review: Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One (PlayStation 3)
I know it's not always the best indication, but the demo didn't really impress me very much.
Re: Review: Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X (PlayStation Portable)
Still prefer the SNES original to this though. Didn't dig the 3D look.
Anyway, it's pretty cheap now, so it's worth a look.
Re: Review: Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time (PlayStation 3)
This game was great fun.

Re: Talking Point: Do We Need PlayStation 4 Yet?
No way near ready for one yet. If no games came out for the rest of the year, I'd still have ones I wouldnt have gotten to yet.
Re: Rayman Origins Actually Made Ubisoft Some Money
Have just recently started it up. Looks fantastic and plays great.
Pick it up. Now.
Re: Review: Sonic Generations (PlayStation 3)
Was really impressed by the demo. Just haven't gotten around to buying the full version yet. Will at one point...
Re: Darksiders II Dances with Death This Summer
Can't wait!
Re: Review: God of War Collection (PlayStation 3)
With this, Jak and Daxter, and Sly all getting re-releases, there's so many PS2 games I never got the chance to play. And so little time...
Re: Mass Effect 3 Trailer Proves FemShep Is the Only Way to Play
Gonna try a FemShep character when I finish my current playthrough.
Re: Review: 3D Dot Game Heroes (PlayStation 3)
Also, just adding that I love the tagline. Didn't read it the first time.
Re: Feature: Must-Have PlayStation 3 Games - Joe's Picks
Some great picks there. Both are awesome games.
Loving these articles. Brings back some awesome gaming memories.
Re: Review: 3D Dot Game Heroes (PlayStation 3)
This game sucks you in, and there's so much exploration to do. Love it.
Need a sequel.
Re: Review: Enslaved: Odyssey To The West (PlayStation 3)
Yep loved this game. Money well spent.
Re: Feature: Must-Have PlayStation 3 Games - Sammy's Picks
The intro of U2 is amazing. My fave of the series. Still really enjoyed 3. Not sure why people dislike it so much. Unrealistic expectations I guess.
God of War 1 is on my list to play soon, so hopefully will get to 3 eventually.
Also, getting Bayonetta soon too. But that will be on 360.
