| Solid_Raiden said: You know apon completion it tells you how much time you played the game? Mine was five hours and 4 minutes which is only a little below average. According to the reviews it lasts anywhere from 6-8 hours. But come on, it's got an achievement for beating the game in under 2 hours having found every item. It's not made to be extremely long. That doesn't count the proving grounds though, but I tried the first one and didn't really like it so it's not something I'll be playing. I didn't 100% the game btw and the fact that I just always followed the blue path without finding where I'm supose to go myself made the experiance much shorter then it would have been if I had explored the world myself trying to find where to go, if maybe that's what you did. |
Well don't you think its kind of disingenuous to talk about how short the game is when you didn't even try to get the full experience out of it?
For the record, that achievement is for speed run that is only possible with some shortcuts, creative use of equipment and 100%-completing the game beforehand. Metroid Prime can be speed ran in 1:24, but those that get the most out of it will play it for a good 25 hours.
