jimmay said: No it only last for half a day which is 1 hour so that equals 7 hours. But hey even if you think your right, is 8 hours magically an ok time but 7 hours isnt...lol, yeah ok whateveer you say.

Um, no. You play through into the next day after the helicopter crashes at noon. You don't face the end boss until you're well into day four of the game, over one day after you were supposed to leave.

I'm only arguing this because you're blatantly wrong and I want you to admit it. I don't give a rat's ass exactly how long Dead Rising was because it took me roughly 12-15 hours just to play through it once and finish the game. I still have a hard time believing that you played into Overtime Mode the first time through the game and I think anyone else who has played DR would agree with me, even more so since by claiming eight hours, it means you didn't die once in the game. Everybody dies multiple times in DR, especially in the beginning.

Do you see the problem with this picture?

It's short.

Well what can i say im just good at the game, just like i have a hard to believing that on your first time through heavenly sword you did it in 5 hours... The final section of dead rising can be done in under an hour, and load screens only take 3 seconds each, but hey what ever makes you feel better...

Hey guys, just drop jimmay. Now he's right and the world's wrong, but he'll grow out of it eventually...

However, it's certainly funny and interesting to be reminded of how stubborn some people are.

Even the most hardcore Sony enthusiast wouldn't call this game anything but short. That's what's somewhat puzzling about his stuborness here.

This thread takes longer to read than it takes to beat Heavenly Sword.

It's Short.

"Yeah lets see whats so funny...every day in that game is 2 hours in real time. You are only at the mall for 3 days, that equals 6 hours. Add in the bit at the end and that is roughly 7 hours."

Exactly. It lasts on average as long as Heavenly Sword (for HS: go through quickly 5 hours (from rocketpig), average 7 hours, do every style points 13 hours) but it has a lot more replay value than HS as you are not limited to 3 stances and the same foes on your second playthrough but have a whole mall to do things differently (different weapons, different points of the mall, different people to rescue...).

And don't get me started on Wii sport as it takes way more than 13 hours to master it and get all platinum medals (a bit the equivalent of getting all style points) and if you don't, to paraphrase you, "your are missing hours of fun".

For Trauma center I only played the original DS version but it certainly took me more than 13 hours due to the high difficulty and I didn't even do the Xn missions at the end.

Let's face it. 13 hours is short already but when it includes doing everything you can do on a single playthrough then it is unacceptable.

You also shouldn't use these 13 hours as a yardstick to say it is long given that it is not an average playthrough if you refuse Rocketpig the right to use his 5 hours as a yardstick to say it is short because you say it is not an average playthrough. Either you both can use the extremes of play lengths for your argument or neither of you can and 7 hours is the lengths of HS.

78k first week - weak for a console with few good games up till now.

my god Sony fans are so damn annoying! The game is short. Now drop it please!

and 78k is the official number? not so good =(
