@beavis4play I totally agree its a game, and as I said in the end of my comment I think its a good game, just not GOTY like so many others would have you believe.

As for the History lesson... Check your own facts. Guerilla already went on record stating that they modeled a bit of the Helghan after the Nazi's. If you can't see that then you yourself are being a bit naive.

A bit of Helghan history as I know it to be:

"Following the First Extrasolar War, the Helghan Corporation was dismantled and all of its assets seized by the UCN. Vekta, once a planetary holding of the now-defunct Helghan Corporation, was turned over to direct ISA rule, and colonists from Earth were brought in to supplement Vekta's corporate-affiliated population. However, tensions soon rose between the Earth minority and Helghan corporate majority, resulting in Helghan resistance fighters targeting and killing many Earth-loyal citizens in terrorist attacks. This forced the ISA governor to enact more and more economic sanctions and military punishments on the Helghan-affiliated colonists in retribution for the Helghan persecution of Earth-loyal colonists. In the face of brutal draconian laws and punishments, the Helghan loyalists eventually stopped their persecution of Earth-loyal colonists.

By 2220, all Helghan corporate colonists had chosen voluntary relocation to planet Helghan, where years of hardship awaited them. The Helghan settlements recreated the former Helghan Authority to rule over all affairs on Helghan, but this rule was often inefficient and corrupt. Their Helghan colonists' human bodies were also mutated by the harsh environment of Helghan, resulting in most of the first generation dying only a short while after they arrived in the system. However, by 2305, future generations had evolved an increased biological resistance to the harsh atmospheric conditions, some even discarding the common breathing masks that many colonists still relied upon.

In 2330, Helghan was hit by a major economic depression, allowing Scolar Visari to rise to power. In 2347 Visari staged a successful coup against the ruling Helghan Administration, which declared him the "Autarch". He created the more sophisticated Helghast ideology based on Helghan superiority. He re-established hostilities with the ISA in his bid to retake Vekta and exact revenge on the UCN, and this conflict is now known as the Second Extrasolar War.

During the War, the Helghast tried to invade Vekta but the invasion failed. The ISA then launched a retaliatory invasion against Helghan and assaulted the planet by establishing a beachhead at Phyrrus in bid to conquer the capital city, detain Scolar Visari, and bring a swift end to the war. During the first hours of D-Day for the second wave, the Helghast forces set up a defensive perimeter consisting of Arc Pillars. After the Arc Pillars destroyed Avenger Convoy, which was en route to Visari Palace to capture the Autarch, the ISA decided it was best not to move forward as such an action would only result in more losses."

Now just replace Helghan with Nazi Germany, change the setting to Europe and insert Allies and Hitler as appropriate. Sound vaguely familiar? Kinda like umm... I don't know... Nazi Germany's rise to power and the subsequent WWII

I did finish it in that time and that's with dying a lot. If I didn't keep dying I could have done it in under 5 hours. Now is that acceptable for a top notch game ? . games are getting shorter and shorter, mediocre and yet the price is still the same. I prefer MP on BBC2 , so for me personally I only got it for SP, so 5 hours isn't much for my money. I'm not having a go at just K3, ALL games are getting shorter and it's out of order. As for BS, yeah I do enjoy it for being a bit different, I doubt you've played it and I'm not the only one who prefers it, a lot of reviewers actually prefer it and it out scored K3 on a lot of sites, people like different games, that's life, we don't all have to defend Sony exclusives.

iistuii- fact is - you're the only one saying that. fact is - GG/ and other sites have already debunked the reviewer who said they played through in 4.5 hrs.

i'm not wanting to call you a liar......and i won't. but, i don't see how you could possibly do it in 5 hours. of the 20 or so people who i've now been discussing the game with through PMs, the quickest time i've heard is 7 and a half hrs. and that seems quick - but believeable (he said he played on recruit). everyone else falls in the 8 - 10 and a half mark on trooper.

but like i said - even if you have 100 people making your claim and at least 2+ million buy the game? your playthrough isn't representative of the experience.
- i found it to be a top game......great look, production values, gameplay, MP......lots of fun..... and a playtime of at least 8 hours for 99.999999% of the players.

btw - reviews/metacritic should be the LAST thing anyone uses to decide what games are good or not. it's impossible for reviews to be given without some sort of bias for or against the game being reviewed. and metacritic is a joke. the guy who runs it decides what sites will and won't be used for the average.

well, i'm sure i'll be talking to you again when you come out with the "i beat the game in 5 hours" comment for UC3 or resistance3.

@ Thoreau. It should be, man. I've played both the Single Player and Multiplayer in KZ3. Add me on PSN, and check my trophies. lol If you don't believe me. I bought it at WalMart the day it came out.

Edit: I'll add you on PSN for some KZ3 MP.
