It's amazing how much people's opinions can differ... :D
I've been reading a lot of Japanese reviews, and on Amazon JP right now, MH4G is sitting at 2.5/5 stars, with one of the primary complaints being that this version hardly adds any new content. I have seen many, many reviews basically stating that - "For customers that already own 4, it's an insult to charge full price for this! Should have been DLC content for the original."

Now, I know that people (apparently, even the Japanese) love to just go with "Something I didn't like? ONE STAR - WORST GAME EVAH!" type reviews, but the fact that there are so many here, plus the fact that previous versions seemed to have much better reviews on the same site (Monster Hunter 3G is sitting at 4/5 on Amazon JP), gives me pause, and makes me wonder whether or not there is some truth to these complaints.

Also, MH4G has awful reviews on Amazon, despite being the game we all loved in the West as MH4U.
