Monster Hunter 2nd G has installation option

While those that don't have space to spare on their Memory Sticks will most likely opt out of this installation, we think it's a great feature that more PSP games should consider. For example, the Memory Stick version of Wipeout Pure loads significantly faster than the UMD version. We hate load times, and we're willing to do anything to get rid of them ... for good.

i have a question about this: does it still require the UMD to be in the tray? i can see that being a "yes" to prevent rampant game copying. it's a shame really since it'd be nice to not carry around UMDs

i think its just putting some of the game on the Memory Stick for quick access to commonly used files, i doubt it's a full install.

Cool. I hope that this game comes out stateside, I really want to play this.

I completely agree. While big mandatory installs on the PS3 are a terrible idea (seeing that some people have only 20 GB to play around with), on the PSP it would be most excellent, as memory sticks are cheap and easy to swap out. Loading time is by far my biggest gripe on the PSP, any way to cut it down would be great. (yeah yeah, UMD dump and custom firmware, I'm aware) If Dungeon Siege had such an install option, I might have actually played through it again as a different character.

All we need now is online play and I would buy the game. It is a MMO with out other players. I really do not have 4 friends that own this game so we can play together in the same room.

Jay, lol, ask your parents to give you more siblings :)
Playing with more then one person is cool, but when you have to pay the price for their death its a piss take, especially if you know full well on your own, you could take out the monster.
