7.5 sounds too high based on the cons listed. The amount of time you spend watching the game is nearly as much time as you are playing the game, shameful.

It's shameful for a game with a strong focus on being cinematic to have a lot of cinematic? Huh.

but if you are paying 60 bucks for a game or 100 bucks in nz, you would hope to get a bit more gameplay then 4 hours right?  Being cinematic si cool, but you don't make nearly half the game cinematic. I wouldn't mind if its was 3 hour cinematic and 7 hour gameplay.

Depends on the quality of what's being offered. By the sounds of it, no, 1886 isn't worth a full $60 purchase, but that doesn't mean a game of similar length and design couldn't be. I'd happily pay $60 for 4 hours of Halo or Uncharted, even without the additional 3 hours of cut scenes. It's for that same reason i don't mind paying £20 ($30) to go see a 2 hour film at the IMAX.
