jsut cuz pro gamers can beat heavenly sword in 6 hours after a few times doesnt mean the game is that long.

it will probably take 10+

gears of war is less than 6 hours if u run straight through it, that game got a 9.6 from this website i believe.

so lets hope that gamespot doesnt completely bash on heavenly sword for this, or they mite come across as biased or something rite?

I'll wait till other reviews come. So far HS has gotten mostly 9 ith very few average to low scores. PSM I think gave it a low score but PSM 3 gave it a high score. Edge gave it a low score but they also gave gears (and I think bioshock) an 8. Also the guy on IGN US who reviewed it (Chris) also reviewed Godhand and gave it a 3 while almost every other game site gave it somewhere between a 6 and a 8.Scarletred

I think you mean PSW :P

PSHH! I'm a music lover. Like bloody Hill I'll care for what some of you think. If the story and music is there, along with some decent gameplay, I'm sold. What's that? Heavenly Sword will most likely deliver on all three?

Sold.

Not buying it way too short. The prices for next gen games are extortionate as it is. If you want a real laugh go onto you tube and type in AMIGA LONG PLAY. A guy on there has uploaded videos of him completing old Amiga games and some of them are done in 10 minutes

i see what you mean when you look at games such as oblivion. it makes Heavenly sword look like a rip off but action games are different to rpgs. they are meant to be played more the once. many times over in-fact, i played god of war 5 times before i stopped playing it.

6 hours if your a pro gamer. that means about 8 hours to me, and is therefore the same length as god of war and therefore also worth it.

So I don't know if you've heard about this or not, but I just watched IGN's video review of the game and they said that the game is only about 6 hours long! WTF!!! I was excited for this game, and still am because the presentation looks awesome, but the length of the game is horrible. Might have to be a rent for me now because full price for that amount of gameplay is robbery. What do you guys think?

NextGen86

at $59.99 in the US that's ten bucks an hour if you are a really good gamer and can manage to beat it in six hours. 10 bucks an hour doesn't sound bad to me, and that's just if you base the cost on playing it once and fast. if you are the kind of person who plays a game only once, then you ought to consider renting anyway. now if you buy it and lend it to your nephew or kid brother and he beats it in six hours then it only cost you five bucks per hour of fun and you get to be a hero besides.

the average person won't beat it six hours. if it takes ten hours for most people that's only six bucks an hour, or three bucks an hour if you lend it to your kid brother and he beats it in ten hours. that is less than minimum wage. we're talking pretty cheap here.

and again, almost no one plays a game like this only once and often more than one person gets to play it off the same disc without incurring additional cost. you can always sell or trade the game when you're done and recover some of your cost. you might get your cost down to $1.25 an hour, and that is some cheap fun!

sixty bucks for a game like this is practically nothing if you do the math, doh. so what's the complaint?

For those of you who complain, would you really trade a higher quality albeit shorter game, for an average game that a little bit longer? This is great news, i almost never finish games these days because they're all so freakin long, and you usually have to get trhough a bunch of fluff to get to the good parts. I'm getting HS day it comes out, and i'm sure that i'll end up playing it for more than 6 hours, plus there will probably be DL content like time trials, arena modes, and various other extras.

I have to agree, six hours of single player hack & slash is pretty disappointing. And judging by the gameplay footage featured on this site, thegame itselfdoes seem a bit lacking as well. It's a shame because this (along with Lair) is one of the more anticipated games associated with the PS3. Let's hope the other titles fair well.

Gears of War was also a very polished and complete game. Not to mention, the multiplayer is the reason why it remains a constant contender for top 10 most popular on this site. A 6 hour hack & slash versus a 6 hour TPS (that features a multiplayer mode capable of debunking Halo 2 for most played) isn't much of a fair fight.

There are only a few beat-em-up/hack & slash games that can get away with short play times. One of those games being Ninja Gaiden/Black/Sigma. But even with that game the developers made sure to fine tune the difficulty to insure no one flew straight through it. And that's not mentioning how awesome the mechanics were for it.

I've found that any game that takes longer than 25 hours or so has a hard time keeping me hooked in. Think the longest time I've played a single game was FFX for about 76 hours (not counting the months I've poured into the various iterations of GT).

Games that are around the 10-15 hour bracket when played as theyre designed to be (ie: not a speedrun) are usually what I am for.

I'm hoping Mass Effect (40+ hours!) changes that though :D

not that there's anything wrong with that. i prefer single player games - always ready when i am, no need to interface with others.

I'm looking forward to this game. and while I'd never wanna be one in real life, i look forward to playing a girls part in the game.

i still dont see the problem with games in this genre being 6 hours. i can easily beat gow 1, 2, and dmc3in 6 hours. some more extras would have been nice but a 6 hour campaign is just fine.

have to agree, all 3 first party by sony are not doing good at all, 4maps, 2 jets, 2 tanks = $40. there might be a lot of fun in the game, but the low content don't justify with the pricing.

Since when is a short game a bad thing....?? Sometimes I want to sit down and play a short, but amazingly fun game. Sometimes an epic game 'al a FF' is called for. Just depends on the mood im in...and if it has replay value then its worth it. I think GoW is one of the best games out there and it isn't much longer than 6 hours but I have played that game through countless times.
