I've never played a Monster Hunter game before so I am not sure, but do you mean Monster Hunter Generations (sounds like it to me based upon what little I know) ?

The Mafia series is great. Never got to play the first one, but two is one of my all time favorite games. Mafia II let you work your way into the Italian Mob in New York during the 1940's and 50's. The story was engrossing and solid, it would pull me in and make me not want to put it down. I cannot remember for certain as it has been a while since I last played, but I believe you could get pulled over and ticketed for speeding (you had a viewable speedometer) and running lights. Interestingly, Mafia II has the most profanity in a video game, particularly the word f***, which is spoken 397 times.

Mafia III is set in Louisiana during 1968, you're a Vietnam war vet and you want to help the Black Mob which aims to take down the Italian Mafia. It looks to be an improvement of two in nearly every way. One thing the Mafia games do is bring back the protagonist from the previous entry, for example in II, you killed the protagonist of Mafia I. In Mafia III, the protagonist of Mafia II joins the Black Mob and becomes one your lieutenants. I also really like how Mafia III isn't shying away from racial issues of the time, the KKK is in the game for example, never seen that in a video game before. It makes it more real and I appreciate that they are willing to cover even the dark aspects of American past. Here's the E3 presentation if you are interested:
