MH Freedom Unite is about a month away from landing on Western shores, and so for anyone not already completely cracked out on these games, we're rolling out a series of brief tutorial videos. 

One of our four Japanese masters (I believe he is known as "Captain Stereotype") introduces you to the basic arc of the game, your quest to become a master hunter, things to do in Pokke village, and how to power up your gear before you... you know... hunt monsters.

This game demands some investment, but it also pays it back in spades.  Check out the Encyclopedia Gigantica for more background, and see why for millions, Monster Hunter isn't just a game, it's a way of life.
