Well, it depends. How much time are you willing to put into a game? Because, quite frankly, you have to be willing to give a lot of time into the game. For example, the smallest and most common "large" monster in the game is a Great Jaggi. This monster takes about 30-40 minuts to beat early on in the game. It's a great game with really good graphics, fun gameplay, and great rpg elements, but make sure you are ready to be that commited when you buy it. I really enjoy the game, but I have to be in a specific mood to play it for 2-3 hours straight. If you don't have a classic controller yet, I would get it in the bundle with this game. A lot of fun.
