According to Sega producer, Keith Dwyer, Vanquish can take up to 10 hours to complete with plenty of addition content to enjoy afterwards."

how to finish Vanquish in 10 hours

step 1 : make donuts knee sliding the first 6 hours
step 2 : play the game

hahahaha...well said my friend

[ImpartialMan]

if it wasnt for meddling dvd.

[Rainstorm81]

the game does seem like it's possibly short but im pleasantly surprised with the gameplay overall though

[swiftshot93]

LOL

[tacosRcool]

And take a coffee break to eat some donuts

[Leafhopper]

Ok that was pretty funny man. Although I did doughnuts most of the demo anyway :P

[DigitalAnalog]

Now, I'm really inclined to believe they chose the easiest difficulty followed by not watching the cutscenes.

BTW, you gave me quite the smirk with that donut comment.

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[big_silky]

i'm sure it can. most people these days rush through games as quickly as possible in order to get it back to gamestop or gamefly.

[rdgneoz3]

While I do agree that people rush through games fast so they can sell them back, http://www.strengthgamer.co... makes me question that 10 hours to complete. And seeing as the person died 16 times over the course of the game and finished it in 3 hours and 42 min (which included the final credit stage) on normal difficulty. Though it'll probably be around 6 hours for everyone else if they take their time with it.

I'm a few hours in, and it's awesome.

Heard some people took 8 hours to beat it, though. Like, that could be the average, or around that.

As I said, the completion times are all over the place, so my guess is on how fast you are to complete everything.

[CameronL99]

People will definitely go through speed runs, others will die constantly and it will take longer, but overall I'd say this game will have huge length differences between different players. Same with Metal Gear Solid 4, If you take your time and get to know everything, experiment with stuff, watch all the cut scenes, it takes 15 hours for some people, but you can speed run it in less than 2 hours if you're good enough.

I spent close to 20 hours exploring in MGS4 and also had a 3 h, 40 minute Big Boss Emblem "perfect" playthrough. I still haven't seen certain things in MGS4, BTW. I didn't know about some of the Easter eggs when I was playing it regularly.

I have no problem with the length of Vanquish. I'll probably play through each stage several times.

[CameronL99]

And really there's nothing dumber than rushing through a game to get it back to gamestop unless there's a guarantee of your full money back in credit if you return it within a week.

[Beegs7186]

It can take 10 hours to complete also means it can take 4 hours to complete

[shotgun_ps3]

It could take me 10 hours to walk to the shop across the road from me, that doesn't mean it's actually going to take 10 hours though. Gamers, know your jargon!

[Ahasverus]

I don't think so. If the game is good (and it is) it's well worth its price even if it's only 6hrs long (less than 5 is bad, but 6? just ok). Now, Castlevania lasts 24+ and reviewers said it was "too much", now this lasts 6 and it's also bad... seriously this "gaming press" is really really fucked up...

[testerg35]

I have to say that the game is insane so far. The action is insane.

[memphis2]

another proof that gameinformer is pos. 10 hours legit especially coming the producer itself. as for ign's review i don't think they just played vanquish on easy mode to get 6-7 hours of completion.

[Leonesaurus]

Every game nowadays have to have some sort of an Achilles Heel attached to it (Vanquishes' Length) that pessimistic gamers have to carry with them for the rest of their lives? So, your going to tell me you're not going to buy the game, let alone play it, just because it may or may not be short? Stop judging it based off stupid shit and just enjoy it. That's all anyone ever mentions when they bring this game up now all because of that stupid comment from the GameInformer article... =/

[HolyOrangeCows]

The last I checked, it was called being a responsible consumer.

And GameInformer is FAAAAAAR from being the only source to mention Vanquish's criminally short campaign.

[zatrox]

But there are ALOOOT of people, as well, that state the game is LONGER than 4 hours.

[Raider69]

Some could take more time going to the toilet between levels i suspect!

[Grimhammer00]

You should read destructoid review...he's pretty clueless.
I got from him that he's a poor player.

He mentions that the game is essentially the demo, that he was impressed with the demo....but he dislikes the game. Amongst his reasons...the prominent one is "the conflicting game mechanics"....but in the demo they were good?

He basically want infinite boost abilities. Loser. Lol

[Supman]

it CAN take 10 hours.

[Neurotoxin]

If you pause it for 5.........

[Manac0R]

Just an idea guys but as an impartial community with gaming as our ethos why don't those who have got this game post up their completion times along with difficulty setting and any valid comments ... Reviewers constantly rush through shit, but you guys I trust... Oh wait a minute I see the error of my logic /s serious might be worth a try.

[Bounkass]

Wauw, a staggerng 10 hours... Fail.
