It is getting even closer now, just 5 days until it comes out in the high street stores. However, I still reckon I will get it either on Thursday, which is a good 4 days.
I pre-ordered mine from gameplay and with their first class post they pretty much have them despatched for the Thursday.. every game i have got from them has arrived on that day.
I whould not get this game just read gamespot's review that said you can finsh the game in an afternoon!

Now i know why the demo was so short finshed it of in 2-3 mins!
People were saying The Darkness was too short too. It lasted me 2 weeks. I expect Heavenly Sword to be the same. It all depends on how you play your games. I tend to play offline games in short doses, about half an hour a day so even a 7 hour game lasts me 2 weeks. Online games I can play 5 hours per day.
I think it's unfair to judge games by their length. Is an 80 minute film necessarily worse than a 3 hour one? In most cases it's the other way around, for me at least.

I see what your saying but you really cant make the film comparison!
You pay generally the same price for buying a dvd or going the cinema. Whereas some people may feel £40 for 7 hours of play isnt good value compared to a game from the same genre with 15 hours!
I will probably rent this game or pick it up after its been out for a while at a reduced price. I can see a lot for sale in the classifieds over the next couple of mths!
i think you can make that comparisson with films. you pay the same price for two films, ones 2 hours, ones 90 mins, you wouldnt decide the value of your purchase by the running time!
i dont usually base my purchases on running times for films or games. this looks like a fun solid action adventure. which is why im looking forward to it arriving tomorrow after getting the "shipped" email from shopto!
6-7 hours entertainment for £30-40. Sounds fair to me...Thats the main reason im not splashing out for this title. Even tho i love the demo and want to buy it. Ive heard a few reviews say its too short so it will be a weekend rental for me!
