Single player is about 6-10 hours, but there is an offline "online" mode, where you can play with up to 16 bots in order to practice for online. Unfortunately, that experience doesn't carry over once you do go online (why don't you have your PS3 online - you're missing out on great games), but your online experience carries over to the offline "online" mode and the difficulty ramps up based on your rank and experience online. |

I hear it's 7 hours on default difficulty, 9-10 on veteran. Of course you should play a game like this on veteran, filter out run-n-gun tomfoolery. Get her online though, that's the big draw, looks brilliant and deep. If I don't suck too much at it, maybe the online will usurp Warhawk as my most-played game. |

6-10 hours of gameplay after being hyped into the fucking ground and disappearing for 2 years without a trace? sorry, but, LOL. |

Seems about right to me, it's about par the course... most FPS' with a focus on gunplay could benefit from being 10 or less hours to filter out tedium. Slogging through Far Cry 2 recently was a prime example of why ''all killer no filler'' is better than padding length to give illusion of content, that game was twice as long as it should have been. Who wants to spend 12 hours playing a tactical duck-and-cover campaign? Also, the bigger selling point is on the online, it looks to have more content and meat than Gears or TF2 and most similar games. There is such a thing as TOO lean, of course. CoD games are like 5 hours and the AI scripting is such that every playthrough is the same as the previous one, but I haven't seen KZ2 reviews criticize it for a lack of AI dynamics or replay value. Now if RE5 turns out to be less than 10 hours, then that's a big problem, but ideal length differs depending on genre... I don't think anyone that buys KZ2 is going to feel shortchanged. |

Less than 10 hours is an average length for an FPS. Some of the best, like Call of Duty 4, are quite short. what Ophecks said I want to try Killzone 2, but I'll have to wait until my brother buys it for his PS3. |

"Who wants to spend 12 hours in a tactical duck-and-cover campaign?" In a single sitting? No one. I guess I'm just the rare gamer that spaces games out instead of taking off work for a day and doing nothing but mashing buttons glued to the couch for 9 hours. I'd be perfectly happy with a 40 hour FPS game. There's no rule that says a game should be beatable in a single sitting. Give me my money's worth, thanks. |

Different strokes... there's no way I'd be able to tolerate a 40 hour FPS, I don't see how it could remain interesting without resorting to padding and fluff. 10 hours is a pretty standard issue length for an FPS with an online as deep as KZ2's anyway... I'd probably prefer 12-14, but it's just not something I'd cite as a flaw given how typical it is. And based on the 5 minute demo, I'm sure I'll replay it a few times for my own pleasure (and to show it off...). I tend to prefer a tight, polished campaign anyway, with emphasis on great pacing and set-piece encounters. Uncharted's 6 hours or MGS4's 10 were far more satisfying experiences, and the games far more replayable, than FC2's 20 or Assassin's Creed's 15. Besides I still need to get SF4, then RE5 and Madworld a week after KZ2... then I'll put shitloads of hours in KZ2's online... I DO want RE5's campaign to be very long... RE4 remains the only 20 hour action game I've ever played that never had a boring moment, no trace of tedium. |

(when I say MGS4 is 10 hours, I mean when you skip the cutscenes, of course!) |

well, i admit 40 hours might be a bit long, but I wouldn't mind 20-25 :) |

thats good to hear, does the offline 'online' mode allow you to gain experience too and adjust the difficulty accordingly? will turn off the HUD when I do the single player campaign, in hard mode... going to make the most of my first play through. |

Good call... the immersion level is crazy with the HUD and crosshairs off. And the first person cover system is great, I hope more FPS' start doing this. I picked this up early this morning and got through Corrinth River. The game is brilliant, the Helghast must be the most pleasurable enemy to shoot ever. It's very important in FPS' that my enemy's suffering makes me hard, I hate shooting bullet sponges. This game is pornographic in its depiction of mass genocide. And the AI is fun too, I love the way they do baseball slides into cover, then recoil in terror when you empty a clip an inch away from them. The online maps are so impressive, vast and elaborate with lots of vertical real estate, probably hours of fun messing with the bots to learn the lay of the land before I even get online. But for a game with such an emphasis in immersion, your guy sure is SHORT. Though at least you're not eye level with doorknobs like the guy from Bioshock. |

Just beat it, so awesome, can't way to play it again on Elite. The ambience is so great. The level in the desert shanty-town, that battle with the snipers on the catwalks, I can't believe how good that looked with the dust billowing around and the snipers dashing through it in the distance. There's almost too much fine detail in this game, the pacing is so frenetic that you can't take it all in unless you're dying repeatedly in the same spot. Almost a shame. The ''weight'' of the aiming is kind of hard to get used to and your field of vision feels kind of narrow, but it's just nitpicking. The best FPS in a while, now onto the online. Probably as a scout first, I want to cloak. Oh and I'd pay for a patch to make your guy taller, I really would. |

the single player campaign is about a million times better than COD4, the graphics and attention to detail is phenomenal. I'm not really a fan of FPS usually but am really enjoying this one. At the snipers part now... |

Now that I've unlocked and tried every class, I have formed an opinion on the online. And that opinion is that it is very awesome. Lots of fun in smaller, more tactical games and in the larger clusterfucks. The class system makes it feel kind of like Team Fortress 2 with more intensity, and as I do in every game, I have to go the stealthy route. Slinking around behind enemy lines as the saboteur shooting enemies in the back of the head and planting C4 in discreet areas is the kind of sneaky chicanery I live for. |

I wish I could take you back in time and convince you to play battlefield 2142 with me... I miss that game. |
