   A bit short? Its 5 hours on Normal. I started on harder difficulty levels(like i usually do on shorter games) but it got frustrating in a few minutes into the game.

   GOW and Halo handles difficulty levels differently (Better and aggressive AI,lower gun power, lower health etc) but in this game the health level is made really short and enemies spawn behind you.

   But its still one of the best rides in a game esp. the sniper and “Death from above” missions.

   Shame. Qaddafi refused to rate it, too:

   taxman — I don’t know, it felt short. Perhaps if I time them, it would turn out that the GOW and GRAW campaigns are roughly the same length, but it just doesn’t feel that way.

   Took me 8 hours or a bit more on both GOW(Hardcore) and Halo 3(Heroic). But in both those games, the higher difficulty levels are great to play again. It feels like a completely new games. Add to that, online co-op, The single best game design this gen. COD4 is the same game (just lower health) on higher difficulties. No online co-op. But the arcade game type was fun for a while.

   The MP is supposed to be really good but i got turned off by snipers. Will give it a try again once i finish Mass effect.

   I just got it a few days ago. It probably felt short to me because it seduced me into staying up so late to keep playing it. The “Death From Above” episode was quite awesome. I wish I’d done the same as Taxman and not started with the lowest difficulty.

   The game rocks.
