Here's my take on the game:

I don't see sales being huge for this title once people realize how damned short it is. I finished the game in 5 hours and 16 minutes. That's completely unacceptable for a $60 game with no multiplayer or co-op.

The only way you can complete the game in 5 hours and 16 minutes is if you rush through the game. If you rush through the game you are not playing it properly. Going through the game and collecting all the style points took me 13 hours, and im not rubbish at these games, i've completed devil may cry 1 and 2, god of war and ninja gaiden sigma and got a ninja master rating overall which is the best rating you can get.

 

I didn't rush through the game... I saw enemies and killed them, in fact I killed every enemy I saw in the game (other than the massive last level). I only died twice, I might add. You can argue with me all you want but I timed it down to the minute and didn't pad the numbers in any way.

Maybe we play games differently but you can't argue my time. I didn't alter the way I play the game at all to reach that time.

And I'm "not playing the game properly"? Errr... okay. Whatever you say. Maybe you also agreed with Factor 5 when they said everyone was reviewing Lair incorrectly. I beat the game and only died twice, I don't know how much more "properly" I can play the game.

The only people that say they completed the game in 5 hours are the people who rushed through it, if you used a guide, spent the entire game spaming the quick death combos instead of doing huge combos to fill up the style bar, if you never once stopped to admire the gorgeous scenery or skipped the cut scences then yeah you rushed through the game.
