I'm surprised this game is less than 10 hours in length.

Totally agree with the reviewer's comment about the fixed camera angle. They have this highly detailed game, but prevent us from viewing all of it by fixing the camera??

I'm surprised this game is less than 10 hours in length.

I am too, considering the devs indicated its beefier than the last two. Either I am misremembering or they fudged the truth.

People will justify lenght on both ends, but bottom line: If I spent 44 Million making a game, as they did on this one, Id want it to feel EPIC in every way, including lenght....

 

[hairlesswookiee]

I'm not too worried about the 9hours length. Reviewers usually rush through games not trying to achieve all the in-game rewards and trophies. Even so, if its a fun 9 hours I won't complain.

Not to mention the "mystery" ones chained to the story and so on...

 

[Solidus]

Nine hours is considerably short for GOW III, especially since it took me 16 hours + to beat the last two games. Oh well..

You do have a really good point there.

 

[uscmhicks]

Really looking forward to this one.
Looks to be an amazing game , the second ps3 game I'll ever play.

 

[Matt S]

Have all of you gotten the GOW Collection? If not, trust me, its worth the $30......picked up the nearly 300 page guide (for fun)! Having as much with them now as when they came out....

 

[blue_rogue]

The Gamestop I pre-ordered at is doing a midnight opening

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Found these on another site. Pretty impressive.

 

[Kratos]

Great comparison shots

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Yeah..honestly when I played the demo I was like "what's the big deal, the graphics don't look any better than what is already out" now its like "AHHHH!! they gave us a rope-a-dope."

thanks for that. Hopefully I will now have a faint idea of what is going on when I pick this game up, I meant to pick up the remastered 1 & 2 but haven't had chance.

Looking forward to this too. Had to choose between this and the new FF. this one won. I'll pick up FF XIII used down the road....but for me this game seemed much more exciting. Plus I can't wait to find out what happens in the story. Just wish the game was a little longer.

I think you made the right choice, but FF has alot longer replay value if you're into those type of games (RPGs).

Still nothing on the PF or whatever it has become?
