Eurogamer says 9 hours on hard and acknowledges the way in game clock works. Some other review says 4 hours and leave it at that lol.
It seems like its the same issue of misinterpreting the clock.
Dat fix!
anyway, can't wait! Hopefully the game has good replay value cause 5 hours is too damn short.

Someone should probably make a review thread, rather than have them pile up here.
Pretty much everyone who was aware of how long they played the game said the game is 7-8 hours at least first time around. That's a solid length for an action game.

Metal Gear Rising: Reviewengeance Thread. Someone make it.
Doesn't seem like it. You should make one.

Jeff from Giantbomb is aware of how the clock works, and pegs it much lower.
Yeah, now the reviews are hitting, I guess I'm not bound by the flimsy 'embargo' from the competition any more. This game is fucking awesome. Jeff's review hits it square on the head. Platinum's craziness, KojiPro's storytelling, they all combine to make it one of the most fun games I've played in absolutely ages. The smile didn't leave my face for the first hour of my playthrough! SO GOOD.
Anyone got any more questions that haven't already been answered?

Any idea when the soundtrack hits itunes (or when itunes updates)? It's already available digitally on Amazon but I'd prefer it on there.
Thanks

So much for anyone from the gaming press reading Inaba's tweets.
meh, either way I always somehow end up taking longer to beat a game than average. Took 14 hours to beat Bayonetta, 12 hours to beat God of War 3, 10 hours for DmC, etc...
Im guessing my first run through should be between 8-10 hours
Plus factor in VR missions, unlocks, etc, if you are doing it right then there is obviously a lot of replay value

If the game has four hours of cut-scenes, I don't consider that a plus.

Read a few of the reviews none mentioned length. Do any reviews actually mention it ?

I like the part with the cutting of the things.
EDIT: Though seriously, can somebody please make a review thread?

Barely anybody has it, and those who did couldn't talk about it until now, where what they have to say is in reviews.
FINE IM DOING IT

Nope, he doesn't say that either.
More towards the 'removes times where you die'. If you spend 30 minutes on a hard boss battle, but then on your good attempt beat it in 5 minutes, MGR counts it as 5 minutes, not 35.
That's cool my favorite was they used the new Snake from Metal Gear Soild 2.
most people dont have the game yet
I think I'm actually going to buy two copies, 360 and PS3
but then another guy (eurogamer) said his hard mode playthru took 9. Hmm.

EDIT: oh ok thank you for the replies. Sorry ;(
I think its better to not touch it for a game like this. That ingame counter didn't include either retries or cutscenes so unless a reviewer was sitting there with a stop watch then its so hard to judge..
Then you'd get angry people who said that the reviewer's play time was wrong when they saw 3-4 hours. Silly if anyone did.

This thread will explode in 12 hours once North America gets the game and plays it a little.

Looks like games will have to start putting in two timers - one for "Total Playtime" and one for "Ranked Playtime" or else game journos will keep slipping up on this stuff.

Anyone come across info in a review that recommends a version over the other yet?
Okay, I didn't realize it worked that way. Odd way of doing things, but no slight on the game.
The game cuts you a break on your time and people use that against it. Sigh.
Which one's the Steelbook?
I think I'm going to take off of work to get my revengeance on.

I assume the 9 hours included cut scenes as Max from Rev3 said the game is only 4 hours excluding cut scenes

When you hit the finish line, your final game time might say ~3 hours. It might say ~7 hours. It could say anything, because it will depend on what difficulty you play and how good you are. And in addition to this, the final game time wont count continues (only records the fastest time, not total), cutscene duration, nor codecs. You will have played for quite a bit longer than the time registers.
And on top of this you won't have unlocked and purchased all the swords, outfits, wigs, and boss weapons. Nor upgraded said swords to maximum stats. Nor finished all twenty VR challenges, let alone with gold rank.
And I'm also willing to bet you wont have collected every ID left hand (think: dogtags), every data cube (unlocks concept art), and every MIB (men in box) all in one playthrough.
