yea i don't usualy play game online but that's more because of a lack of interessing online games on ds,psp and wii than anything else.... monster hunter 3 is probably the only worthwhile reason to go online with a wii
grouping with strangers it's not as bad as it sounds... while you do occasionaly encounter a random jerk or idiot,most people i've played with were nice individuals and most of the time it's not like more teamwork than "let's hit this monster to death" is required,it's just that playing in multi add's an extra element of chaos and randomness that really improve's the game
if there is one thing i hate about playing online is that if there is even a slighty hiccup in your connection,the game just boots you out and you lose everything,you don't have any idea how much rage this caused to me especialy when the fights was against the 30 minute boss and the game disconnected at minute 25!
