It's kinda true.

9-10 hours when you play it on Heroic difficulty.

4 hours on easy or normal (for experienced Halo players), but well I've completed Killzone 2 in 5....

"If you took 12 hours to get through Halo, count on 9-10 for ODST. And so on."

That's very much a statement of proportion, rather than hard figures.

If I were a sneaky Bungie PR man, I could easily say "*cough* if Halo 3 took you 16 hours *cough*, ODST will take you 12 hours" in order to start a chain of people taking the ODST figure out of context and holding it as a concrete playtime figure, which is what selnor did.

So, 12 hours to 9 hours means ODST's campaign is three quarters the length of Halo 3's.

Halo 3 on Heroic for me took at least 7 and half hours, so I suppose I should expect a good 5 hours from ODST's campaign on the same difficulty.

5 hours, 7 hours, 9 hours? so what

how long did Uncharted take?... and that is one fantastic game... agreed?

Not questioning the quality here.

Just I get less replayability out of an FPS' campaign than the singleplayer of other genres.

Call of Duty, Killzone, Halo - I'd probably play through all of their campaigns twice. In contrast, I've been through MGS4 twice and starting it for a third time after the weekend, and last week I finished my fifth playthrough of Uncharted.

Just personal taste, rather than a reflection on the game's general worth.

Edit: Since you ask, re: Uncharted's length, ~8 to 9 hours on normal/~11 to 12 hours on hard.



Oh dear................... since when did some kid reviewing a game make gaming headlines?

This is NOT gaming related, don't turn this site in to N4G plz VGChartz.

Thats two bogus reviews posted by Sony fans in the last few days... can we just wait for real ones please.

How about you start getting your facts right before you post stupid shit like this?  You're always SO quick to jump on Sony fanboys and SONY in general when the site isn't even about SONY at all.  It's called WiiSpace, and they've reviewed (as you've shown) 1 single PS3 game.

I said it before..ever since you got your 'contributor' title, you've been acting rather stuck up and 'better than thou' with everything non-360 related.

Be unbiased or don't be..I have no use for a contributor as biased as you are. 


Grow up, almost all of the contributors here have a bias.. even some of the mods do.  Go cry elsewhere.

The point was that the two dodgy bogus reviews were POSTED here by sony fans. is that incorrect?  no.

If those reviews had been 9/10 I am pretty sure those two posters wouldnt have even mentioned them.
