6 hours is too short.. but it's the same exact time as Gears of War and Gears was still a good game.Don't give me that "but gears has online" because the online was AVERAGE at best. Heavenly Sword has a ton of replay value to me though.D3monchicken

Gears of War was FAR more than "average at best" in the online department.

Hell, Portal is about 6-8 hours long, depending on how good you get. And that game comes FREE with the Orange box. I have been hyped for Heavenly Sword, and I am sure I will still like it, as short as it is. But, I am disappointed to say the least.

There is just no excuse for a game that is supposed to be a substance filled,epic action/adventure to be crammed into a 6 hour evening run through. It will not do the story of this potentially great game justice, therefore, it will hurt it tremendously.

[QUOTE="Tactis"][QUOTE="Tnasty11"][QUOTE="NextGen86"]

[QUOTE="Tnasty11"]12-15 hours http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-56824.aspxTnasty11

Ninja theory developer working on the upcoming playstation 3 exclusive title , Heavenly sword have confirmed that, Heavenly Sword will clock in around 12-15 hours of gameplay mayhem.

I hope that's the case, but now I don't know how such different numbers (6 hours compared to 12-15) can be made

what are you trying to say?

what he is trying to say is that we have two reviews saying that they have played the game and they both say its around 6-7 hours so i would take the word of people who actually played the game more than an article that was submitted 21 days ago.

But the Developer said it's 12- 15 hours long

Developers always exaggerate the times. Always.

If review sites are saying that the game is 6 hours long, then players who rush through the game will finish it in under 6 hours, first time through - which is totally absurd for a full-priced game. I mean, these developers are totally ripping us gamers off.

Hell, even 12-15 hours is rather short - whatever happened to the epic 20-hour long single-player campaigns?

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?

Definitely do not trust what developers say about game length. They would never give a number as low as six if it was actually true.

Considering reviewers aren't rushing through a game either (they want to see stuff like unlockables, and probably also take time to look around to scrutinize graphics and such), the fact that IGN and IGNUK both peg the game at 6-7 hours is a huge worry.

Those 6 hrs apparently also incorporate 2-3 hrs of the arrow-shooting part of the gameplay which they pretty much say becomes really boring by the 10th time you do it. Ouch. I'll admit, there are parts of my favorite games that I had to slog through, but I've never been bored by HALF of a game before and still considered it good.

Gears of War took me 15 hours on hardcore, and to get all of the sp achievements it took like 30 total... PS3 doesn't have achievments either.. lol don't say "buh buh teh skinz i can unlock and show u"

Probably because I play on insane. Anybody can noob through it as fast as possible on easy(im looking at you MGS9150). But even playing on easy I doubt you can do it in six hours.

Ladies and gentlemen this is the kind of thing I was worried about for this gen. The games will be beautiful, shiny and bright, but at the expense of depth. A lot of the devs forgot about what makes a game good. They are thinking about moving hdtv's and concerned about new formats. It looks like Nintendo had the crystal ball. briguyb13
The PC hasn't had any trouble cranking out AAEs and AEs this year. What could be different about console development that makes it so difficult to make a good game? Are Sony and MS rushing devs?

That kinda sucks. I have already paid for the game though so I'll still pick it up. I enjoyed the demo (even though I can beat it in around a minute :P ) and have had high hopes for the game. This may be one of those cases where I really wish PS3 had achievements, they had some meat to a game.

The length of this game is not the only thing that IGN brings up as an issue. There is also the flawed combat system, repetitive enemies and a shoddy arena battle system that hinder gameplay.

Wasnt this game hyped as AAA and boasted almost running out of space on the Blu-Ray disk?

Running out of space on a 6 hour game....:lol:

I believe this is officially a flop.

Of course Gamespot still has to review it.......:roll:

So the 12-15 hours was just PR spin, like how Nintendo said Zelda was over 70 hours? Wow, I'll just watch the cutscenes on youtube or something, since I still hear great things about the cinematics.

That game has been in development for quite some time, so its possible that this is the intended length.

I don't know much about the game as I never played it, or own a PS3, but some games have been designed to be played through to completion quite quickly but have tons of replay value. Star Fox 64 is an example although I accept it is completely different.
