that may just be the main storyline. remember, there are tons of side missions to do, and multiplayer!

If you rush through the main quests, yeah you can finish quick. BUT if you want to enjoy the rest of the game, i think you can easily get 15 hours.

I liked the demo but will probably wait until the game is $40-$50 before I buy it due to the length.

I'll probably rent it only. It looks amazing fun for one playthrough.

Fable 2 did the same thing almost. I beat the main story in about 12 hours. Probably not even... But all the side missions and DLC gave me an extra 12 or so.

I would say yeah... 7 hours maybe even 6 if you played on easy and skipped almost all the side quest.

I'm just over half way (53%) and I played about 13-14% per hour. That's with a side quest here and there.

It's not long. But there is still plenty to do.

All and all I would say wait, yes it is amazing, but it is a bit short and the side missions dont add to much because they get real boring.

60 dollars for a 7hrs makes me frown, I will wait for a price drop for the game i'm not spending 60 bucks for a 7hrs game, plus i heard the side missions and multiplayer was kinda iffy at best.

Through my experience, the game play is well over 7 hrs "especially if you do the side quest and look for collectibles..." I'm on my first play through and have spent more than that just killing and collecting stuff.

Length is not an issue, plenty of good games are short. The emo theme and jack black in this game is what turn Cookigaki off . Still a day 1 purchased for Cookigaki, Cookigaki wants to see tim magic

Same here, I don't mine paying 60 dollars for something that's going to be completely awesome. I don't see the problem when games like CoD have 4 hour campaigns and people buy those up like crazy.

Just don't get the hype for this game...it's like playing Spyro the Dragon or Crash Bandicoot, a 7-10 platformer is okay I guess, but not for me.

I spent $60 on it and I can tell you right now it's the best game out so far this year. It's easily my favorite Xbox 360 game so I could care less about the length and by the way it does have multiplayer but I haven't tried it so I'm not sure how fun it is.

Well many people aren't buying Call of Duty for the 4-hour campaign. They're buying it for the 100's of hours the online multiplayer gives.

I've gotta admit that I'm disappointed to hear the single-player isn't longer, but I'm hoping that the multiplayer(which I heard is good) will have a decent online hold to boost the value of the game overall.

I'll still probably get this either way, but I might wait a bit longer than I originally would if the game was a bit longer. I really wanted a good, lengthy single player game(I'm getting Forza 3 and MW2 for sure), and while good, it doesn't really strike the 'lengthy' box, ya know?

Meh. Disappointing, but not a complete deal-breaker.

Videogames today are short, deal with it. Fable 2 was about 5 hours, just doing main quests. ODST is apparently 5-6 hours. MW 1 & 2 are both 5-6 hours. Just the way games are today, personally I hate it, but Brutal Legend is awesome in every way so its worth it.
