Monster Hunter Freedom 2 invites gamers to adventure together by offering four-person cooperative battles through an Ad-hoc connection. Players may hunt alone or with friends as they complete over 350 missions and attempt to collect 700 different weapons and 1,400 separate pieces of armor. Similar to the original release, gamers must first create and customize a character, and then collect and train a variety of creatures. Connecting to the Ad-hoc network lets players gain access to additional content and quests.
