I think, if I played it all the way through, it might of been 7-8hrs. Mass Effect is much longer than 15hrs if you actually pay attention to the story, and enjoy the game. I'm 70+hrs into mine, and it's still fresh. Oblivion is 100+hrs for just the vanilla game. SI + Expansions add another 50hrs. So there are plenty of great, long, single player games. The issue is that your conceptions of what makes Single Player long are rather weak. Goldeneye wasn't very long - most levels were 10-20 minutes long, and there were 24 levels. |
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with the Mass Effect comment. Much longer then 15 hours if I paid attention to the story? The reason it took me 15hours is because I did other things besides the main storyline. Side Quests and lots of dying :( The storyline in ME can be finished alot faster then 15 hours and that with 100% attention. As I said I play games for story and ME imo is a great story, just too short.
