The ecosystem in Monster Hunter Tri has been expanded to include underwater environments. Eighteen new monsters were developed for the game, their interactive AI completely redesigned. Each weapon class has been updated with new moves and innovations. Weapon classes included are Sword and Shield, Great Sword, Hammer, Bowgun (Light, Medium and Heavy), Lance, Longsword, and the new Switch Axe, which can switch between Axe and sword forms. Bows, Gunlances, Hunting Horns and Dual Swords do not return from previous installments. According to producer Tsujimoto Ryozo, "Capcom love the idea of voice chat and know that it is a minimum for western players," which suggested Western releases of Monster Hunter Tri may feature support for the peripheral, which was later confirmed. Two special bundles of the game were announced. One bundle for North America and Europe will include a black Classic Controller Pro. Another bundle will include a Wii Speak device and Classic Controller Pro. Gamestop has offered a demo disc of the game free of charge in North America. GAME has officially confirmed a European Monster Hunter Tri: Exclusive Edition bundle containing the game, Wii Speak, a black Classic Controller Pro and one other item which appears to be an ornamental head of the monster which appears on the game's cover art, the Lagiacrus.

if you already have the classic controller, there are 2 control scheme for said controller, one of which you use buttons to attack like any normal console game. and one you use the R-stick to attack.
when you start out, i reccomend using the lance or long sword.
