wow, lot of people posting !!

Just want to give a little more thing to discuss about the 10/10 :

"""
GamesRadar: First things first. This is the epic resolution to an epic saga and it comes on a Blu-ray disc. Just what sort of percentage of the playing time do the cut-scenes take up?

Paul Fitzpatrick (the guy that gave the 10/10 on OPM) : Hard to say. I didn't time the cut-scenes, but I completed MGS4 in just over 29 hours, and at a guess I'd say it was two thirds playing to one third watching. But that is a guess…

GR: How long did you spend finishing MGS4 for the review? What was your play schedule like and how how complete a look at the game do you feel you got? Anything you would have liked to take some extra time over?

PF: 29 hours and six minutes was my exact play-through time, and I saw everything I felt I needed to see to really get the measure of the game. I'd love to go back and play through with all the cool weapons and items unlocked of course. There are some beauties. Oh, and the play through didn't take in Metal Gear Online, which is being reviewed separately.

The whole interview (with potential spoilers (I didn't read it except what I posted above)) :

Wow! Over 29 hours? They weren't kidding when they said MGS4 would be the longest of the series.

 Great score btw! I expected it anyways. Can't wait for June 12th.
