    Aye the demo is 5 minutes long - but I could play it again and again just perfecting my fighting and playing with counters and aeriel moves. I mean imagein - you will earn new moves all the time and can take them back to any level to use! Constant replay value :)

    a person who reviewed for a website posted the review on gaf.
    http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=183138

    he says good story, combat, animation, and characters but the bad is it's about 6 hours long. that's pretty short for a sp only game. hopefully there's unlockable extras or difficulties.

    I will believe in NT and puchase this game on day1 =).
    It can probably be beaten in 6h if you run through the game, skip cutscenes and play on easy. Nothing like I would play this game. I want to explore, learn the combat system.

    I think I finnished Gears of war in less than 8h, still it were 8 great hours. So even if its short its worth it, atleast for me.

    I don't know!
    There is one thing certain, I'll find it out on my own when I finish it:lol:
    Then again Gamespot hasn't reviewed the game yet. And I'm sure that they won't lie about it being short or otherwise.
    Of course you might be referring to a dev post that I missed stating otherwise?
    That'd be nice.

    Well all the comments from Tam I've heard was 12-15hours. It was Lair that was said to be 10-12 hours. SO i don't believe 6hours in the least.

    yeah that's actually a pretty good point. maybe the guy was exaggerating because he said it was the only major problem with the game.

    The 3rd episodes of the Animation and making of are out here & here on the official site and continue to look pretty cool. The making of shows the motion capture and acting side which plays a huge part in this game, but I didn't know that Andy Serkis was the dramatic director! I like his work and think he does an amazing job. It also shows some of the computer modelling, and the detail they have included properly looks next gen as well as using expressions directly from the actors!

    both God of War games were 7-8 hours including the cutscenes (for me anyway). if the replayability and the game is really good, i think its still worth a purchase. i mean DMC3 is a 8-10 hour game, but i played that game over 200 hours because the combat system is so deep and the game is so fun.
