Yup.

As part of the collaboration, Peace Walker will feature a special "Monster Island" area of play where Snake will have to hunt some well known Monster Hunter beasts, large and small. As with the rest of Peace Walker, this can be done in four player co-op mode.

Snake will have the support of Monster Hunter mascot character Airu (Felyne in the overseas version of the series). Airu will help you clear the missions by sending out bullets and other support items in boxes.

You'll also find another Monster Hunter staple on Peace Walker's Monster Island: well cooked meat. Actually, make that well cooked rations. Pick up a "Ration Grill Set" around the stage, and you'll be able to cook up your rations to make them more effective.

There is a lot more crossover in the game (like with Doritos, Square Enix action figures, a whole set of shirts by Uniqlo, Walkman cross-promotion, and build your own Metal Gear)... but shit, dinosaurs, dude.

Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwoCvryu1n4

Same thing really. His original code name WAS Naked Snake you know... look alike, both voiced by the same actor... even kinda similar character-wise.

Plus you know, Solid's his clone.

So my father hunted down dinosaurs, and all I got was the opportunity to hunt down monkeys in the Russian jungles (!!!) where my father once fought real enemies?

Some trade-off, there.
