Just read several reviews and found out that the game lasts around 20 hours. Not 4 or 80 but 20. I guess this is good because it took me longer than 4 hours to complete Luigi's Mansion.

Also some more notes:

Graphics 10/10
Music has both classic Starfox and new music.
Flying levels are too easy and very few.
So are the hover craft levels.
Handling not as good as OOT.
You only visit each level once for most of the game. So there's no going back to explore for more hidden stuff.
It's on one disc.
There's no multiplayer.
Doesn't live up to the hype very well.

For some, all this will be good news and for some bad but hope it helps you guys.

And to be honest I'd expect a mark in the 80's in NGC.

I heard its got an 8 hour life span, and people were complaining about how terribly short it is, 20 hours is a decent time though, phew!

That is probably all untrue, judging from what people that have played it have said.

They said Luigi's Mansion had an 8 hour life span, but hey you can do that in 4!

It is actually possible to complete Resident Evil on the GameCube in under 4 hours, infact you unlock some kind of bonus (will have to look in NGC tips book to find out what) if you do so. Yet, it's still a corker of a game.

I swear this is all true. My Uncle also owns it because he lives in America. He says he plays this more than his other games at the moment.

Metal gear solid brand new...2 hours later...complete.

But wait, it was the best game on the PS1.
