I have Monster Hunter Tri, saw a good deal on it with the Classic Controller Plus, only $40. It's become my favorite Wii game. I definitely prefer being able to use a regular controller. I've played about 80 hours and am a rank 20 online. Much of that time I've put into offline mode. I'm getting a lot better though and love the game. It can be very frustrating spending 50 minutes fighting and chasing monsters then only run out of time or lose in the end. I try to play online with players that are just slightly higher level than me. Helps quite a bit. The toughest monsters I've beaten down are Lagiacarus and Barioth, though basically I'm still just beginning.
