Wow, well I've read the entire thread, and here is my bit.
[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"][QUOTE="bobbetybob"]i hate the fact that they give Warioware a 9.1 when it lasts for like 2 hours max yet Zelda (a gripping 40 hours) get's an 8.8 they suck at reviewing....bobbetybob
Like I said, you can finish all of the Mario games in the length of the average commercial break.
They are all bad games too?
yeah lets see you complete WarioWare first time in an ad break....i'm on about the first time you play it...warioware is probably the same length for everyone, it is the least difficult game i've ever played, i've owned all the wariowares i think they are fun but i didn't buy this one because i hate the length for me it wrecks the game, i don't find it a game i want to come back to and keep playing
You definitely never answered his question. Regardless of your answer, to put it in short, his point is, the length of a game doesn't necessarily take away from it. All of the Mario games can be beaten in 5 minutes (give or take) and they are hailed as the best games of all time. (depends on who you ask)

I own both zelda and warioware, both are fun, but its better to spend 50 bucks on a 50-70 hours game than max 15hours game

Maybe only 15 hours for you, this game is mostly a multiplayer game, still 15 hours x 4 people = 60 hours. Two years from now, my copy of Warioware will probably have clocked several times as many hours as my copy of Zelda.
Game play-time doesn't work like that...Illegal Math! If you and another guy work together on a project at work and it takes 10 hours, you each get paid for 10 hours, don't you? What if your boss said that since it was a 10 hour project he only has to pay for 10 hours of work so you and the other guy have to split it?
If you're trying to put a quantatative value on leisure based on how many hours it lasts, you have to include how many hours it lasts per person. If Zelda had a two player cooperative mode you could say it lasted 100 hours because two people playing for 50 hours is 100 total hours of fun.
We only deal in the fun per person ratio at this establishment. 100 Total Fun Hours / 2 People = 50 Fun Hours / person. Average per person ftw, at least until I can be more than one person at once (multiplicity). Sure it'll get used a bunch, but it's not the right kind of quantitative analysis for me!
:D Funny!
And lastly, I'm sure Gamespot is thrilled they are the sole and most trusted source you use for buying video games. But as another poster said before, their opinion isn't god, and they don't pretend to make it so. If your going to invest in a game, do the research and make sure it's worth your money. Overall, entertaining thread though.
