I just finished the game 5 minutes ago. I've been playing it non stop for 15 hours now. Note that I blasted through the game simply to experience the storyline, the actual gameplay had I took my time would be considerably longer.

Anyway, about the cutscenes, the ending was over an hour, possibly 70-75 minutes. The second longest cutscene is the 40-50 or so minute one I mentioned mid game. The second half of the game is extremely cutscene heavy with at times very short bursts of gameplay so if I did disregard some of the short intermission gameplay sequences I may arrive at 2 roughly one hour long sequences, but not anywhere near 90 minutes. I didn't use a stopwatch though.

I can't honestly give any impressions as of yet. The ending in particular is something very unexpected and I will have to sit on it for a while contemplating everything. Will need to replay it again more fully to be able to write a well founded review. But yeah, no single 90 minute cutscene. Bummer!

Wow, that's a very short game if it has that many cut scenes and you beat it in 15 hours.

70-75 minutes -> 90 minutes is not a "gross exaggeration". That's an exaggeration but not a ridiculously huge one.

Yeah, but saying that there is two cutscenes in proximity of an hour and a half is a kind of gross exagguration as the second longest cutscene isn't even an hour long.

I guess the whole argument is moot, though, if the point is that the cutscenes are way too long for most, and 70 minutes, or even 50 minutes, is way too long in the same way that 90 minutes is way too long.

I wonder if this game is going to be the PS3's first exclusive 9/10.
