I don't mean to flame anyone, but honestly many of these people replying in this thread don't know what they are talking about. When you have to add up time it took you to get the achievment points, your obviously desperate for a game length number, and using achievement accomplishment time, is a terrible way of calculating how much length there is to a campaign, for those of you that don't seem to get it, length of the campaign is how long it takes you to play through that mode 1 single time.Â
 Games like Dead Rising that have multiple endings in my opinion don't fecking count because it's a cheap assed gimmick to make you play through 90% or more of the exact same crap just to get a different cut scene at the end. But if you like that kind of thing, then Dead Rising has some value, otherwise on a single play through it isn't that long.Â
  Almost any shooter out right now for the 360 and most action games, they are not that long. GRAW 1-2, R6V, Lost Planet, Gears of War, CofD 2-3, they are all in the 5-10 hour range at best for reasonably average player first time through, some maybe a little over that if you take your time. Dead Rising is around there too one one play through, but it has various endings.Â
  There are not a lot of games that have a deep single player experience right now, but by the end of summer both Mass Effect and Bioshock will be out, and both of them are dedicated to great single player, both promising to offer 25-50 hours or more of a single player adventure with Mass Effect much more promising on length, but still Bioshock should offer atleast twice or more from the usual shooter and is solely working on single player campaign.Â
  Right now, it may not be what your looking for, but Ultimate Alliance offers a much longer campaign than most action and shooter games, it's probably in the 14-20 hour bracket for campaign. So give that one a look.  Other than that or some of the RPGs, there are not too many games in the action or shooter genre that offer any stand out game length from one another.Â
  I know that the TC did not specifically say "shooter or action" games, but those are the type of games that usually refer to the single player story section as the "Campaign" so that's why I stuck with those genres. Â
