I've always been puzzled by the descriptions reviewers use as to the length of games. I heard Twilight Princess described as a "60-hour adventure" from 1UP.com, and much longer than that otherwise. There are so many games that are described as being insane amounts of hours too, from Final Fantasy to Mass Effect and so on. However, is it just me, or are these often careless exaggerations? I beat Twilight Princess in less that 27 hours, and I was taking time to explore a bit too and savor the experience. I beat Final Fantasy VII in a dedicated week only using a good...30 hours or so, maybe less. Final Fantasy VIII ultimately racked up 75 hours from me, but only because I completed every side quest. The only games that really seemed to really take as long, or longer, than reviewers say are the Pokemon games. I think I dedicated well over 100 hours to Yellow, Silver, Ruby, and LeafGreen versions. That's probably why I won't ever play the games again unless the sequels are vast improvements, which they haven't been.

Anybody else puzzled by this? Maybe I'm just too good at games...
