People are enamored by Monster Hunter, even with its suspicious lack of online gameplay. Why, you ask? 1UP's Milkman describes his personal Monster Hunter obsession on his personal blog: "I love a game where you try and collect the coolest gear possible. It's why I loved Diablo II, and it's why I played the sh-t out of Phantasy Star Online and Final Fantasy XI."
Considering how Monster Hunter Portable 2 includes content from the never-released-in-America Monster Hunter Dos, Milkman seems overly eager to get his hands on the game. Interestingly, the series has improved on its transition from PS2 to PSP due to the lack of a second analog stick. On the console, attacks were relegated to the right analog, which felt unnatural: "I like the controls a lot better on PSP too, since it dispenses with the analog nonsense and just puts the attacks on the buttons." Do you share Milkman's enthusiasm for the title too?

Weird reasoning, but not being a console gamer I'll take his word for it. Personally I thought the first one was just 'meh' ... at least as a RPG. As an action game, fine, but ...

I hate the control scheme...I just do...it makes the game much harder than it should be and that's why it didn't get such fantastic reviews.
If Capcom were to fix the control scheme for the next MH PSP Game AND include online that would be perfect and maybe see great sales here as well.

Does the game play great? Of course. As a matter of fact, it's much more stable-control wise-than its predecessor.
