No sooner than I started the Game that I finished it about a day later... It's not that long, I'm surprised because Tools of Destruction was a lot longer.

Me too, but it doesn't change the fact that the game is the best in the series and better than a lot of PS3 games out there, above all as a platformer. The thing that bugs me is that it's gotten such high scores from critics, but barely anybody plays it. ACiT has only recently sold 1 mil copies.

11 hours sounds about right if you want to fully complete the game, that's longer than most single player games today.

I find that it can compete with some top PS3 games.

My average completion time of most games story mode is around two days..So games like God of War 3 and Uncharted 1 aren't worth much $60 for me.

I don't see how it was short. If you take time to get all the golden bolts, ryno plans, customizable parts for weapons, and actually upgrade all the wapons, then the game is more like 20 to 30 hours long. I don't understand see where the short part is, unless all you did was complete the main story, Most games are short if all you do is complete the main story. Ratchet and clank was just as long as any other game in its genre. Action adventure games are about 11 to 14 hours so. Things also depend on how many hours a day a person plays. If you are the person that play 6 to 8 hours a day then you will beat about 90% of the games out there within a weekend. The only thing I can tell you is to rent more. I got a crack in time for $40 and it was worth every cent I paid for it.

This is how I felt too, took me quite a while to finish the story, collecting everything, is a superb game too and would recommend it for a great buy.

Yeah, but you're supposed to play it again on Challenge mode, and get the RYNO V, and the Titan weapons, and platinum it! Like I did!

It's like 30 bucks now, a steal IMO.

They targeted the game to a much younger audience. This game didn't have an 1/8th of the charm the first 3 games on the ps2. It just flat out sucked and I think i'm done buy ratchet games.

My point exactly. Most action adventure games are just about 11-13 hours. If people actually took the time to at least try to beat the game 100%, then the game wouldn't seem so short. If people actually played games on harder difficulties, they might get more out of it. In Ratchet there is also skill points. If people went for those, then the game would last even longer.

Games will always end up short if people only play through the main story or quest. Not every game can be a western rpg that goes on for 200 hours or more.

I thought it was a good length, but then again, I've never thought a game was too short. Kane & Lynch 2 was the closest I've been to thinking that, but it was actually fun. I wouldn't have minded it being longer (playing it on normal takes about 4 hours, on extreme, about 9) but that's fine.

It's not that bad considering that the average length of a console game this gen is eight hours or less. And it doesn't take very long to beat the main campaign but they threw in arena challenges, side missions, and some other stuff to add length. Plus, it's the best in the series.

It's the best by far. Even better than UYA and ToD.
