Where did you read this?

IGN.com there is a review there. 5 hours for the SP is kind of lame considering how long the game was in development for. I also think IGN over rates games alot. To me there sell outs.

I remember reading somewhere that the coop campaign is about 5 hours or so alone and it does not have to be played on Xbox Live it can be played with a friend locally or with an AI partner. So even if the single player campaign is 5 hours you still have roughly a 10 hour campaign on your hands.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

I've paid full price for games with campaigns just as short. My only reason for not purchasing Conviction on Day 1, I can't afford it. Otherwise, the demo was a blast. It cemented a definite purchase.

somehow I see OP's point.

 

for someone who simply refuse to pay for gold membership. 5 hour gameplay for a full price game is ridiculous. I don't understand why the game is so short, it's not like it was a rushed job or anything.

 

Still, they probably just want to release more via DLC, which i won't have.. since I don't have XBL.

 

for me, this game is a rental

5 hours omg uncharted 2 was 5 hours and i still loved it so whats the differences with this game

Uncharted 2 was not 5 hours.

yeah i basically beat it in 4 hours 30 min first play through so i think its save to say its a 5 hour game


Ign said 8-10 hours for Uncharted 2. Looks like you'll be beating SC in 2 hours then since you seem to be the jesus of first time playthrough speedruns.

I'm also disappointed with the game's length. I don't have gold because I refuse to buy a wi-fi adapter (need it to play online), so the MP and possibly co-op are out for me. Conviction is now a rental.

They said it was to be shorter then the SP so I doubt it. Still it's probably another 3 hours and as you said can be played solo with an AI partner. Brings the length up to about the same as most other action games these days. I expect the bitching to continue though. Just as it does for every other game. People bitched about GOW3, Uncharted 2, Gears and every other 8-10 hour game as well. Why not this one?

 I know it cost alot to develop games these days but do you see the trend of the short SP games out there these days. I think they plan to make the games short and  add DLC for extra cash! Dont get me wrong some of the DLC for some games are good. Look at Activision charging about 15 dollars for a map pack and thats 5 maps. But if people are willing to pay the price for such things it will only continue.
