Game is short, let it go Jimmay.

You can cry about it all you want 7-13 hours worth of gameplay for this genre of game is not short.


But Gears of War is longer than Heavenly Sword.

 

Gears was beaten, mamed and decapitated because the campaign was less than 10 hours on the first play through. Are you going to tell me now that Gears of War isn't short?


No, i didnt think gears of war was short. It was just right in my opinion.


Gears was just right, HS shorter than gears, HS is not right.


Gears of War was pretty short... but it had a lot of replayability because of co-op. HS doesn't have anything to expand it's replayability other than a harder difficulty mode. It's also not a 7-13 hour game. It's a 6-8 hour game (depending on how bad you are). If we are rating the game based on it's value for it's cost, that's pretty crappy for $60. Basically you are paying $10 per hour of entertainment.

Don't get me wrong. The game is fun. My buddy rented it and we went to town on the game over the course of a night, but the fact is that we sat down and beat it in... in one sitting. Neither of us had any particular desire to replay it, and we quickly went back to playing Warhawk (which I'm becomming addicted to). When you have 50GB of storage available to you, there is no excuse for a 6 hour game.

Metroid Prime 3 is a 21 hour game (for me anyway), and it offers a higher difficulty after you beat it (just like HS), along with a whole bunch of achievements that you will need to play through extra times to unlock. That's on an 8.5 GB (max) DVD-9. I think when you are talking about a single player game there is really no excuse for it being less than 15 hours. God of War was already pushing it in length for it's price, and I'm glad I waited until it was $20 to buy it. This is just way too short to be a reasonable value, and it's sales will reflect that. There will be so many returns that people will just buy used copies and sales are going to suck.


Sigh, heavenly sword has the replayablity of getting all 129 style points. The fact that you did not mention that only goes to show you dont even own the game. Getting all 129 takes roughly 13 hours.
