The longest I've heard the Killzone 3 single player being is 8 hours, and that was generally because it was said to have "6-8 hours" of gameplay.

That's all well and good, but a game needs to be complete for me to buy it (generally). A game made and sold on it's multiplayer aspect with a tacked on single player campaign has no place in my library. It's sort of the same reason I didn't and won't buy any of the Little Big Planet games. They spend too much time promoting the player made content, which I absolutely do not care about. When I buy a game it needs to be able stand on its own without an internet connection. If multiplayer is the focus then that's fine of course, but don't tack on a short, shitty campaign so you can pretend it's a complete package and market it to single player gamers.

I get the multiplayer itch every once in a while, though. The last time it happened MW2 was the game to play, so I nabbed it and had fun, but didn't even play it enough to prestige even once. I enjoyed the demo for KZ3 well enough and had considered getting it, but I won't now.

I wouldnt say its incomplete. Production values are getting so insane on these campaigns that they just have to get shorter. Either way I'm way more in favor of a short campaign thats exciting enough to play through twice instead of a longer campaign full of filler.

Unfortunately theres nothing terribly exciting or original about the majority of KZ3s campaign, so you probably wouldnt want to play through it twice. But thats more a lack of interesting scenarios and clever design than production values. Its got a few moments of glory but theres absolutely nothing here that hasnt been done over and over elsewhere. It just looks really awesome doing it.

Rented game from redbox. Plays ok, had some fun. Still adjusting to controls though.

usps did deliver it today

its pretty fun, but unfortunately I've had little sleep for the past few days and just playing any game is giving me severe headache and nausea

I still played for a few hours though

No issues with choppiness on PS3. Think I'm skipping this one though. I don't like the way the guns work. I have sensitivity all the way down to 10% and still feels like too much movement. If I ever get PS Move I might get this game, but for now it is a no-go.
