Did anyone out there find the StarCraft 2 solo campagin (not all the extra unlockables but the actual campaign) to be a little short this time around? Or, was it too long? Or, was it just right? Let me know. I'm curious what you all think.

I haven't even come close to beating it and I've played for at least 4 hours. It's not too short at all.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that one episode is equal in length to StarCraft (original)'s campaign.

I think it's just the right length. Played it on Normal the first time.

It's not short if you collect all the zerg and protoss research. I put in a good 12 hours in the campaign or even more... I loss count.

It seemed just right, It didn't seem to drag like Brood War did.

I'm playing on brutal and because of this + my "take it slow" gameplay style some maps take over an hour to beat. I think the lenght is OK. Could be longer, but it's good.

26 missions isn't short, on normal they are pretty easy, hard is just takes longer and brutal is pretty tough but I've done around 5 or 6 on that level, increasing the difficultly greatly increased the time and fun for me at least

I don't believe increasing the difficulty actually increases the play time. On some missions it actually deceases the time played. I know that if you spend too long fooling around on brutal mode in some of the missions you'll lose. I didn't find SC2's campaign short or long. 26 missions (29 in total) for a RTS single player campaign is perfectly normal in my books.

Fixed.

No, not really "too short" for today's standards. Especially considering it has Lost Viking in it.

It took me about 20 hours to beat on Normal taking my time with everything, so it's a little short. However, when I beat it on hard, there were about 5 missions where I had to restart a few times to complete them. There's a lot of achievements too, which I always like. I know some people don't like. The single player probably doesn't live up to the hype, but the multiplayer mostly does.

It's not. The first half is fast because it's not too hard, but playing on anything harder than normal makes it much long/a better challenge. Hell, there's over an hour of cinematic footage in it alone.

on normal you can blow through the campaign pretty quick, but on higher difficulties it will take much longer. especially if you are trying for the achievements

It's not short by todays standards, but in comparison to Starcraft 1 and Brood War it is.

Well not really fair to compare two games to one if you mean sc1 + BW is longer than SC2.

Not me.... on normal some levels are hard (I suck at RTS by the way). The level where you gotta destroy the 3 towers before Kerrigan gets to them, took me about 6 tries....

Well I'm not comparing two games, but I know people who have timed both SC1 and Wings of Liberty and WoL is shorter than the original Starcraft excluding Brood War.

What? Not true at all! Well I'm not comparing two games, but I know people who have timed both SC1 and Wings of Liberty and WoL is shorter than the original Starcraft excluding Brood War.
