I read the IGN review and they said Lost Winds is only 3 hours. Is this true? I know these reviewers play a lot of games so their skills are probably above average. I would consider my skills to be average so is it really this short?

How long has it taken y'all to finish?

Does Super Mario Bros make a bad because you can beat in 15 minutes? Even if Lost Winds is only 3 hours, people say it's an awesome game. I'll get it this weekend.

Yup! That's what I was gonna say. Short? Yes. But it's well worth the $10. The only problem with it being short is that you want more! Luckily you can play it again and try to find all the statues or try and beat your clear time or both! It's like my Metroid days have returned!

that is a miss analogy.... there is a difference between how long a game should take and how fast its humanly possible to beat a game once you know all the tricks.... Ive got nothing against a game that is only 3 hours but to compare it to SMB's 15 min speedrun is not an proper comparison.

Yeah, its not very long. Its a pretty good run though, dont believe the GS review. There were only a few gripes about some gameplay but a solid title considering the price tag. If you are worried about the length maybe wait a while for the sequal, then buy them both. I have a feeling this game will be episodic and updated a few times a year.
