Where did you read this?

IGN.com there is a review there. 5 hours for the SP is kind of lame considering how long the game was in development for. I also think IGN over rates games alot. To me there sell outs.

I remember reading somewhere that the coop campaign is about 5 hours or so alone and it does not have to be played on Xbox Live it can be played with a friend locally or with an AI partner. So even if the single player campaign is 5 hours you still have roughly a 10 hour campaign on your hands.


They said it was to be shorter then the SP so I doubt it. Still it's probably another 3 hours and as you said can be played solo with an AI partner. Brings the length up to about the same as most other action games these days. I expect the bitching to continue though. Just as it does for every other game. People bitched about GOW3, Uncharted 2, Gears and every other 8-10 hour game as well. Why not this one?

 I know it cost alot to develop games these days but do you see the trend of the short SP games out there these days. I think they plan to make the games short and  add DLC for extra cash! Dont get me wrong some of the DLC for some games are good. Look at Activision charging about 15 dollars for a map pack and thats 5 maps. But if people are willing to pay the price for such things it will only continue.

I understand where you are coming from. But like I've said, the games that I have enjoyed the most this generation have been about the same length as SC:C with the two campaigns combined. If you are only going to play a game once and don't plan on playing any mp then I don't see too many action games being worth a purchase by you though.

but according to these two site conviction is around 12-16 hours

destructoid and vg247


That is a number given by the devs which is always inflated though and includes the coop campaign. So I think realistically 8-10 hours like I said. The same as most other games. I see no problem with that. :)

5 hour campaign for Sam Fisher story not whole singleplayer campaign - there's a difference.

plus reviewers always overreact God of War CoO supposedly should took me 5-6 hours and i finished it on first playthrough in less than 4. Metro 2033 should took me 10 hours and it took me almost 18. Killzone 2 had supposedly great singleplayer and i finished first 7 missions in less than 3.5hours before i stoped playing cause the whole game was so uninteresting and boring.

  I might give it a try in the furture. The SP is what I like in a game. Btw I have played Gear Of War 2 and loved it. Just only played it one time. There just to many games around the corner I would like to get frist.

i dont understand what the big deal is. If its a good game, then what does it matter if its long or not? there are plenty of long games that are bad. Just because a game is short, doesnt mean its not worth it. SC has co-op and online and one of ign's points was the replayability. Now halo odst is a different story imo. odst gave the same the multiplayer as halo 3, rendering it to be worth half of what it is. SC, is all new, and the dev team working on it really has some sweet ideas. i dont see how a 360 owner can go "NO THANKS".

With achievements and everything else that help to give people more to do in games it's annoying to see games bashed for their length, especially when they're not RPGs.  What ever happened to honing your skills in a game or trying to complete and get everything in one?

Imagine if we treated music like this, people would be bashing 3 minute songs by claiming a 4 1/2 minute version would be better.  Or movies by claiming a 2 hour movie would be better if they made it 3 hours instead.
