Quality or Quantity? Oh, who knows... People didn't seem to mind as much back when Max Payne 2 came out. It got superb reviews despite being quite a brief experience. Why can't reviewers get past that with Heavently Sword? Personally, I have yet to finish the game (on last chapter), but I've found it to be one of the highest quality gaming experiences I have had in years. I'm not really talking about gameplay, but from the storytelling to the sound to the acting to the art design, I haven't played too many games with such an emotional impact as HS.
On a side note, it seems those who play the game in a single binge, tend to be less appreciative of the game. I don't really havea ton of time lately, so I've been playing about one or less chapters a day. Maybe that's why I like it so much?
Anyway, to answer the topic, I am a little peaved at the length criticism, but I definately see what people mean: you are payingover $60 for a game. That's reallyalmost $10 an hour, excluding the bonus features.
