Any idea on how Heavely Sword is doing in this first few days of sales?

"Yeah lets see whats so funny...every day in that game is 2 hours in real time. You are only at the mall for 3 days, that equals 6 hours. Add in the bit at the end and that is roughly 7 hours."

Exactly. It lasts on average as long as Heavenly Sword (for HS: go through quickly 5 hours (from rocketpig), average 7 hours, do every style points 13 hours) but it has a lot more replay value than HS as you are not limited to 3 stances and the same foes on your second playthrough but have a whole mall to do things differently (different weapons, different points of the mall, different people to rescue...).

And don't get me started on Wii sport as it takes way more than 13 hours to master it and get all platinum medals (a bit the equivalent of getting all style points) and if you don't, to paraphrase you, "your are missing hours of fun".

For Trauma center I only played the original DS version but it certainly took me more than 13 hours due to the high difficulty and I didn't even do the Xn missions at the end.

Let's face it. 13 hours is short already but when it includes doing everything you can do on a single playthrough then it is unacceptable.

You also shouldn't use these 13 hours as a yardstick to say it is long given that it is not an average playthrough if you refuse Rocketpig the right to use his 5 hours as a yardstick to say it is short because you say it is not an average playthrough. Either you both can use the extremes of play lengths for your argument or neither of you can and 7 hours is the lengths of HS.
