Smigit Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 it was short but to be honest I dont mind. I hate it when developers make a game longer just to waste the hours by. Unless they could have added some geniunely interesting mechanics its better to have a short quality game than a long game that has its moments but drags on in between these moments. I honestly do think that the game could have suffered had they just thrown in more combat zones that lacked purpose or variety. So yeah it was short but I think it was also handled well in that regard. Its better than a game such as F.E.A.R IMHO which while having its moments also had too much "filler" time spent doing not alot of anything than shooting wave after wave of enemies.

Dirk Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Now beat it on Insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I beat Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time the day I got it. Doesn't make it any less awesome of a game. Short does not equal bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryne Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I did find it short as well, which did take a few points away from my personal score. It still is an amazing game, but I was put off in beating it so quickly. I guess they wanted you to play online, which I don't do with the 360 anymore. I ran into too many kids when playing online with other games :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skiver Veteran Posted December 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2006 it took me a few weeks to complete this on the easiest difficulty but i only played maybe a few hours a night and this was my first 360 game (although i do own halo 2 for a few weeks before hand) and i dont think im used to the controls yet, ive been a sony fan since the ps1 and for the past year a pc gamer so im still not used to the controls yet :p but i thought it was about the right length...i dont think they could have found much more to do with it... i just cant wait to get online :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted December 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2006 Yeah, i finished it a couple days after i got it but i streched it out instead of aiming to finish it in 1 day. Do that and then you have nothing left to do.... whenever i get a good game i take my time playing it and play online which distracts.... i'm going for some acheivements from online and i got a few. I'll do that for a while before finishing it on Insane. I finished it on Casual then on Hardcore.... more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2006 Yeah, i finished it a couple days after i got it but i streched it out instead of aiming to finish it in 1 day. Do that and then you have nothing left to do.... whenever i get a good game i take my time playing it This is what I do. Sometimes I just don't have the time to play as much as I'd like because of college work too. But that's what's great with 360, once you beat single player, you can continue playing on Co-op with friends or on Live :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trong Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I finished it on insane and casual like within 3-4 days. I really did think the game was short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted December 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2006 Still working on beating it actually. I just went right to hardcore, so perhaps I might have beat it already on casual, maybe not though... I jumped into the MP the first day, so I have been focusing on playing that more than anything else. Made it to Act 5 the other day though, so it should be soon.

Ayepecks Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I went straight to hardcore, played it a couple of hours (some days more, some less) a day and beat it in roughly 5 days. I thought it was the perfect length, honestly. I hate games that are too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutex Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I would have liked it to have been longer than it is, but I don't get tired of going through the game again on insane mode with or without a buddy. Actually, at first I thought I had finished the game after planting the resonator. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pc_Madness Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 It is alittle short I spose, but I like to stand up rather than find cover, so I die alot, so it didn't seem to long for me. However.. its one of those games that you can play through multiple times. I've done it on Hardcore + Casual twice, and am half way through it on Insane + I probably did half the game with Co-Op as well, not tired of it yet. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civilian Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 It was a little short.. but it has replayability :) have completed it 3 times, once on each difficulty level, will need to go through it one last time to collect the remaining COG tags I misssed. Having loads of fun on multiplayer though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandingInAlley Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I am still actually playing it. I am about to finish Act 3 in Casual. I like enjoying the game and with a game like this for which i have been waiting for months ,i like to enjoy every moment of it :) Besides it took me some time to get adjusted to the controller but now i am all good.

Shadrack Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I thought that it was the perfect length for the amount of gameplay it presents. Any longer then I would have been sick of it after the first run through and not wanted to play again. It has great replay value though. I've played through hardcore difficulty with a bunch of different people online and split screen with my friends. Every time it is a blast. I think it is the perfect length for a buddy to come over and beat the game in about 4-5 hours on hardcore if we are both good. I have also had fun trying different combinations of arsenal. It is easy for me to fly through the game on hardcore with the Lancer+Sniper rifle combo. It isn't so easy for me to use the pulse rifle+shot gun. For instance. I've only completed through Act 3 on insane so far.. and that took hours upon hours to do on coop. I still can't beat the first act on insane on single player. Despite how "short" people think the game is, I think that the game could do w/o some parts. The part with the vehicle and the light gun was stupid..every time I'm at that part I feel like my teeth are being pulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaoblivion Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I think it was too short to but it looks like they set it up for a another to me so I am looking forward to that Co-Op in this game is really really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 been playing for a month now and still only on act 4...then again i only put in like an hour or two a week. still pretty good tho: probably like ten hours in total on hardcore.

sgtLENIN Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Yeah. Its way too short and we need more multiplayer maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I'd say there will be more maps at or near Xmas. It seems the kind of gift you MS would want to get out the door, new content for the machines Number one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
