This is a pic fromIGN and shows 82% in around 19 hours so that means it should be about 25 hours long. I wounder if that includes scanning and stuff because then you could maybe beat it in 20 with just playing and not exploring alot.

I don't understand the tripping. It's long enough.

Thats alot more than most games these days, which cant be beat in two extended sittings. Anyway I'm sure they just ran through the game in order to finish so that they can do thier review.

20 hours is enough for me. I honestly can't sit down and play a game for more than maybe 2 or 3 hours a day, and that's if I'm really into it. I take my time with games. Hell, I completed Twilight Princess over a span of six months. I like to fully appreciate really good games, although I doubt it'll take even half that time to complete Metroid.

I hope they intentionally flew threw the game like thta. Bceuase if its 20 hours thats kinda a let down. Hopefully it will serve atleast 30+ hrs of gameplay. I plan to take as much time as possible, exploring everything.

does IGN have the whole game, or just the third that they previewed? Because if they had the first third only and it took them 20 hrs, thats a 60 hr game....

I also remember the article that said 15% took six hrs, i think we are looking at a 40+ game (hopefully).

who cares if it is only 20 hrs, cause that is alot longer than most games, so stop crying about because unless u guys have no life and play these games for like 10 hrs a day, then it will take longer than a few days to beat.

Also school starts very soon(unfortunatley) so i know i wont beat it fora while....and if u dont go to school then u should have job and work all day, not play videogames all day

But overall, after all of what i have said MP3 will rock!

Agreed, I work all day and have a baby coming in Sept. so I won't have as much time to play video games. 20 hours would be fine with me.

I'm sure if you rushed through the game--then 20 hours is about right. Traditionally it has taken me longer with most Metroids--it may take me 30-40 hours...if I don't rush through it of course.

20 hours for this kind of game is perfect. This is not a Final Fantasy or Zelda. Peoples always complain for nothing.

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure that if you take your time and scan everything like I plan to, you'll be able to stretch it out well over 20 hours.

On another website, I think maybe Gametrailers, they said they had played for about 7 hours and were only at 15%. So it really depends on how you play it I guess!

Yeah I wouldn't really worry becaus ethey do fly through games due to the fact they play them all the time with time constraints for the sake or reviewing. I was freaked at first but Gametrailers.com said that at 7 hours they were only 15%. I think we'll all be okay :)

My guess is the length is largely determined by the skill of the player. If it takes someone skilled about 20 hours to complete, it might take the average player 30 hours.

And for someone like me, it will probably take 60 hours. ;)

You guys realize this is metroid, so you could probably beat the game with only 50 some percent.

I just recently finally finished Metroid Prime 2: Echos. I had 79% and it took me 21 hours. (pretty pathetic)

But just because they say it took them 6 hours to get 15% doesnt mean that the game will end up being a 30 hour game.

20 hours is about what I expected. If you bust off and search for secrets and such and take your time with the game and enjoy the world your in it will take you longer.

20 hours for a FPS is plenty, as one poster already said. I only feel ripped off if I buy a game and its less. I was pleased with RE4 and it was about a 15 hour game.

Metroid will be awesome.

exactly - and besides, for completionists, it will take much longer to get every last token in MP3 to unlock all the bonuses (which includes a screenshot-taking camera that you have to earn and can send photos to your friends through your wii!)

To all the people complaining about the game being too short: First of all, 20 hours is not short, beat it three time, you got youself 60 hours right there. And, don't rush through the game is you want it to be longer, scan everything, explore the world, try to find all the hidden things.

That percent is not game completion percent, it is probably item percent, just like in every other Metroid game. Duuuuuuuuuuuh!!!!!!!! (I said that Duh!!! in a very sarcastic voice btw.)

thats true alot of games calculate percentage on bonus stages found or exploration
