I've been reading a few reviews for this now and they all say the same thing, epic game, awesome graphics, great multiplayer but a poor story. So how the hell can MW 2 get 9/9.5 reviews and it's story campaign stucked majorly.

Yesterday NowGamer posted an article claiming that Killzone 3 was just “4.5 hours long”, along with proof of the claim by way of a series of screenshots of the level select screens.

As things happen on the internet, a few gamers were a bit annoyed about this, with one saying that they “wouldn’t buy it day one” for the simple reason that the game is, apparently, so short. Indeed, the comments on the N4G post (which was approaching 1000 degrees at the time of printing) were full of similar jibes.

The official Killzone.com twitter account replied back quickly, though, confirming the 4.5 hours claim to be – in their opinion – false.

“That ’4.5 hours’ number is a misunderstanding of the ‘best time’ stat,” said the Tweet. “Normal playthrough time (including deaths) is 8-11 hours.”

So who’s right? Well, we bombed through the game for our review on a few different levels of difficulty, but we can safely say that even on Normal we were playing a good few hours on Saturday, a couple on Sunday and a few more on Wednesday before committing ourselves to a score.

Was it as low as four and a half hours? No, it was more. Was it as long as eleven hours? No.

The truth is that for games like this, with an upcoming embargo, chances are the reviewer will want to rush through the game and ensure they’ve at least seen the ending. Would that represent an ‘average’ play-through time? Probably not, no.

There’s a chance that the reviewer in question (who was actually writing up for the game for GamesTM, a magazine that shares the same publisher as NowGamer) was above average – he’s almost certainly a better FPS-gamer than myself.

And yes – those times do represent your ‘best time’ through the level, presumably not taking into account the cut-scenes and those times you died – the timer might reset back to the last checkpoint each time you do. So, if you can total up your times and reach a figure of four and a half hours, you can add another hour of cut-scenes onto that time and the time for each of the section retries you had to do.

And on the subject of the 7/10 scores floating around: had the game just been a single player our review score would have been very different. But it doesn’t: Killzone 3 offers both a solid co-op mode and that massive, expansive online multiplayer, and because of that we’re absolutely sticking to our 9/10 score. We know our community will be right behind the game when it’s out.

But the single player length? Well, that’s going to be up to you guys, isn’t it? For the record, we think about 6-8 hours was closer to our estimates.

We’d welcome clarification from Guerrilla on this, by the way

LOL. Going by what ive noticed over the past few years personally i really do believe PS3 exclusives are reviewed more harshly than multiplats and 360 exclusives, especially from US journalists

Have a look at this EDGE vs METACRITIC make of it what you will

Ya I've been reading the same. Thankfully I don't really care about the story even if it is as bad as these reviewers think. But to be honest, reviews nowadays are pretty much useless...with readily available demos for pretty much every popular game I can make my own opinion of a game without having to listen to some pretend expert.

Played yesterday but today it gives me connection errors. I have erased my saved file and still the same issue!

I have had this happen a few times since it's release, I always just play a few rounds of Bots until I can get back in.

blacks op 3d is hardly what i would call 3d. this game you can tell was designed for it....and its truly badass.....the ghosting i could use less of. what about u guys and ghosting?

Playing on a panny 50VT25, and haven't noticed any ghosting. Not sure what cross-talk is, though.

Hey all,

We are having some problems on the servers. This is probably due to the amount of people that is coming in at the moment. It causes joining and connection problems. we are investigating this right now.

Please be patient and hang in there.

if your having error problems that's why.

Thanks for taking the time and posting here! The game looks GREAT and plays better than KZ2.

Apparently you can't use Move with the PSEye connected via a USB hub. Tried the beta last night and it just would not configure the controller at all. I did exactly what it said to do, firing at the targets etc, but when I tried the game the character was just spinning in circles with no way to stop it regardless of how much I waved my arms about Went back to XMB and tried the Shoot demo and that did the same thing So plugged the camera straight into the PS3 and it worked fine, bizarre. The camera works just fine through the hub when using it as a camera so no idea why it doesn't work when using the Move!

Played a couple of bot matches (couldn't connect to online) and I didn't appear to be significantly worse with the Move than with the DS3, in fact my aiming is probably a bit better. With more practice I should get used to moving around with it too, so overall I'd say thumbs up for Move implementation

Reviewers make me laugh when they moan about games repeating themselves sequel after sequel but then when a game does change for a sequel, they moan because it's not like what's went before
Reviews really mean nothing to me nowadays, don't get me wrong, I like to see games I like get good reviews but I don't base what I buy on someone elses opinion. I've bought games that have gotten a 5 at best and still had fun playing them.
Nowadays if I'm thinking about buying a game and don't know much about it, I'll look for gameplay footage or someone playing it on YouTube, if I like what I see I buy it.

That's not a Killzone screenshot is it? Looks like Crysis on the PC.

Bottom line is a 9 on the PS3 isn't a on the 360, based off sites like IGN. Similar to how a 9 in graphics on a PS3 isn't the same as a 9 in graphics on the gamecube, they have to use different scales as the systems simply don't have the same capabilities. If they were on the same scale only a PS3 would be capable of receiving 10's in graphics and sound.
