Personally, 8-9 hours is just about the magic number for
me.Once in a while I’ll sit through a 15-20 hour game,
provided that it REALLY keeps my attention.So far the only games that managed that were Mass Effect 1 & 2
and Fallout 3.

Perhaps, the reviewers played through the game on easy mode.

You do have to wonder if some people, especially some reviewers just rushed through the game really fast to get to the end. I find it very strange that they say 12-13 and other people are saying 8ish. Seriously, a pretty massive 4 – 5 hour difference there.

Personally i don’t think 8 hours is long enough for a strictly single player game. If there’s multiplayer attached like Bad Company 2 then that’s fine as you’ll still be getting value for your money for months afterwards. But shelling out 600 bucks for an 8 hour experience is a bit much.

That said if I owned a PS3 I’d gladly do that for GoW3 :cheerful:

Maybe all the playtesters were rubbish at the game? A friend got a copy at IC this weekend and finished it in about 9 and a half hours.

Still, I don’t care, 8 – 10 hours means I’ll actually have a chance to finish it, given my limited gaming time.
