Make no mistake; this is not the Capcom we've come to know and love. This is not a side-scrolling shooter starring a robot in blue, nor is there any reference to the flagship title anywhere in the game (I'm looking at you, Dead Rising). Somewhere deep within the development bowels of Capcom, past the guts and oozing, vile innards, which were busy pumping out Mega Man sequel after arbitrary Mega Man sequel, there was a shining gem that seemed to have congealed from the waste filtering through the testing department. I guess you could go so far as to call Monster Hunter Freedom a kidney stone. Now, I don't know how painful it must have been to pump this thing out - I know that I never want to do that - But, if William Shatner has taught us anything, selling something that erupted from your body can make you some big bucks, so with that in mind, still fresh and bloody from the extraction, Capcom packaged this sucker up and shipped her out for our enjoyment. I never thought I would have so much fun playing with a kidney stone, but then again, Grandpa was always fond of his collection.
