I can't decide between Warioware for the Wii and the PS3's Heavenly Sword. Both clock in at around 3 hours. The sad part is, I don't know which game to hate more: Warioware for scoring so high on here, yet the game is one of the worst ever made, or Heavenly Sword, for being a hollow button masher.

Heavenly Sword was short but not 3 hours. More like 5 - 7 depending how you played. Portal was pretty short after your frist run.

Portal and COD4, though I played COD4 the first time on Hardened to counteract the shortness.

Do speed runs count? CoD4 was short as heck, but the game wouldn't let you really rush it, while MGS4 would let you, but why would you want to (other than for the Big Boss emblem?)

haven't played that, but true. any game you don't want to play for more than a few minutes qualifies as short. and awful.

People always hate on HS for being short but for the story I thought it was close to perfect length.

Ditto.

When I was fighting general RAAM I never thought of that being the end of the game. It finished so quick. That was the shortest game I ever played.

What difficult did you play on and how long did it take you ? I just wonder since I consider my self pretty good at that game and have beat it on insane alone but it wasnt the shortest game I have played. Just want to compare , how long did it take you ?

I haven't played many short games lately. Probably the SP of CoD4 or GeoW for games that I have personally played.

There are quite a few games that could easily push into a 100+ hours, if you go deep into them.

Me too. I usually try to be open minded but I was just like "Why am I wasting my time with this when I could actually be playing a good game?".

My first playthrough with gears was on casual, which took me 3 days max. My second playthrough was on Hardcore which took me 5 days. I started on insane but I traded it in before I finished it mainly because I wanted to get the gist of the story and wanted to get ready for Gears 2. I didn't rush, I usually take a long time when I'm playing my games. I still haven't beaten GTAIV(It's a bit boring sometimes.)

While fighting the RAAM I thought there would be atleast a couple of hours more to it, I clocked in around 5-6 hours. That's the shortest I have played through myself.

After you take away the cutscenes, codec calls, and game installs, MGS4 is one of the shortest games this game so far.

It's good that I don't play many FPS games then. I was seriously disappointed at the length.

If you speedrun oblivion it is 4 mins after the Tutorial....

However, the point of a game is that you should experiance it and not waste it...
