I am so dying for this game but I have heard some disappointing reports from sources like digitiser and other places too. Apparently as well as being a top class game it is like REALLY short and can be completed in a week quite easily.

ARGH!

I hope this is not true, I was dubbing this along with Mario as one of the best games I have ever played! Please let it be a massive adventure and that people have been telling Porkies!

Ah well, all we can do is sit back and wait I guess.

Have you guys heard anything like this about the game brimming with potential?

Cheers,

D'you know, it's funny you should mention that, because when I first heard of Digitiser, I immediately pictured a small, Reader's Digest size magazine. What's more, I didn't even think about Reader's Digest!

Strange, what your subconcious can do, isn't it?

But if you have dyslexia, like me, it will look like digester, if you read it quick too, and then you will be thinking along the lines of readers digest...which leads to you thinking "what do they know".

there you go another little road in my, already, sad life.

It's on Channel 4's teletext.

It's basically a TV magazine which is updated ever so often, it's on page 480.

I doubt NOM are lying, seeing as the source was from Nintendo Of Japan themselves. And you needent worry about Rare messing it up, it is a joint project you know (Nintendo being the other developer).

It's also worth noting it took five years to make, and if it was crap, don't you think there would be some commotion over in the states? Plus, Whitestripes has talked to someone who's played the game.

It's just a rumour. A stupid rumour.

Maybe the rumours aren't true and it's just a lod of fanboys making up stories and writing into Digitiser criticising games. According to IGN it's one of the longest and hardest game on the Cube.

Oh and you're not shallow, the graphics look completly amazing, whatever reviews the game gets i'll be purchasing it, ben waiting for this for ages.

November 22nd can't come any earlier.

I dont care about how long it is, ok pikmin and luigis mansion were short but im one of those players who can play the same thing over and over again.

Ill be buying this game if its 10 hours or 80 hours long as im sure ill enjoy every minute of it, plus the graphics, im buying the game for the graphics. Call me shallow if you want but who can say they would play a game if the graphics were all blocky and 2-d?

NOOOOOOO IT IS 2 DISCS AND IT IS 80 HOURS LONG... I expect it to take me 50-60 though yet still that is huge. Starfox Adventures has been given a little bit of criticism here and there but not for being short.

It is 2 discs and it is apparently 80 hours long.
