yeah i'm gonna say the game is definitely lacking something if it would be boring and feel like it dragged on if it wasn't extremely short, which apparently you are saying it is. seriously whoever said they don't like all these half games coming out is right. whats up with all the big (meaning hyped up) 360/ps3 games being incredibly short to the point where its not even really a full game. anything under 10 hours for an action game is ridiculously short. i'd say about 13-18 hours is about right for going through a game the first time without dying. if its a difficult game and you add in deaths and doing stuff over until you can beat it then a good action game should definitely take around 20 hours to beat. if its under 10 hours its definitely a game to rent and not buy. all these short games are laughable. oh man, i feel sad for anyone that buys these games at full price, unless they have an awesome multiplayer like halo 3.
but yes its definitely a very bad trend that needs to stop. if you can convince yourself that 5 hours is long enough for a game then you are trying way too hard to believe its a good game.
