Is there any replay value?
'How long To Beat It' says 6 hours is the average playthrough legth, and up to 16 hours for a 100% completionist playthrough.

Multiplayer appears to be garbage.
So, is there anything that would allow multiple playthroughs? Or is it just the same story with a few difficulty levels?
$6 for 6 hours... not sure if its worth it.

The game has multiple endings, so I guess it has some replay value; the game won't have nearly as much of an impact the second time, but just like with movies like Fight Club you'll see things differently the second time around. That said, you might also find many frustrations that someone would do if they played a game like Tell Tale's The Walking Dead, since most decisions are an illusion.

The gameplay itself is pretty generic, but it's solid and fits well with the story. I still think this game will make anyone that loves good stories in video game cover their walls in spunk, but maybe that's just me.

4 hour long campaign???

That's what some posters have said, but I have not had the chance to play it. It's unavailable in my redbox right now. I want to play the game because from what I understand, the story is really good.

I just completed it on "Combat Op" difficultly which is the normal difficultly setting, and it took me over 9 hours.
So the game isn't short like others have said, as for the ones that have said that either haven't completed the game or just haven't played it at all and want to bash it.

For me this was a really great game, and one of the best shooters that I have played.
It has some really great things about it, and those are...
The best story told in a shooter,
Really great setting/atmosphere that I haven't seen in a video game in awhile,
One of the most unique location for a video game.

I will rate it a 9/10.

I did it in about 6, but it's fun at least.

9 hours? ROFL, sure thing.

The reason why it takes that amount of short time to complete the game is because they are not either finding all the Intel which helps you to understand the story, and/or are finding some by just playing through the game and are not clicking on select to hear/read the Intel that they have picked up while playing the game.

Take that in consideration what i said i above and the fact that they are rushing(run&gun) through the entire game which can be done on the easy difficulty.

So it took me just over 9 hours to complete the game, because I looked for and collected all but 2 pieces of Intel and I have read/listened to every one that I have found, and I didn't rush(run&gun) through any part of the game.

If you read all the so-called professional reviews none of them say the amount of hours they took to complete the game, and to most if the game is under 10 hours it is considered to be a short game.

I think that those who have not played the game should not have an opinion on this game.

Don't most people end up playing these campaigns more than once? Whether it's for achievements or harder difficulties; buying any short game full price seems a bit of a waste if you just blow through it once and call it done. I mean, the only reason never to touch it again would be if it was outright horrible and this clearly isn't - and there's an incentive to make some different choices at least in this - something you'd never get from a COD campaign.
