According to UK gaming magazineXbox World 360, it should take the average gamer less than eight hours to completeResident Evil 5, a game they reviewed for its latest issue.
Clarifying the info to the angry masseson its blog, they repeat that their first single play-through was seven hours, thirty-six minutes … and one second. There’s even screens to prove it! It also says that the game contains roughly 80 minutes worth of cut-scenes, and that the times shown weren’t achieved by rushing through the game.
It’s also mentioned that “you cannot see all there is to see inResident Evil 5in under ten hours,” citing all sorts of extras and unlocks that could keep you playing. But for those who aren’t completionists — simply interested in a one-off experience — this may sound a bit disappointing. When I complete a three chapter preview build of the game in around five hours, so this doesn’t seem like such an outrageous claim.
I suppose we’ll see when the game hits shelves this March, on Friday the 13th. Is this information on the game’s length troubling? A deal-breaker?
