MTV’s Multiplayerblog recently interviewed Sony’s Santa Monica studio director John Hight, who told them that the game will take longer than ten hours to complete.

“John Hight: We’ve done a lot of play testing on it. We know, for a really hardcore player, it’ll take them longer than it took them to play either of the previous “God of War” games.

MTV Multiplayer: Longer than seven hours?

JH: Oh yeah.

MTV: Considerably longer than seven hours?

JH: I think so.

MTV: Is ten…um…longer? [This is me trying to be sneaky]

JH: Ten is longer, but ten might not be considerably longer! [laughs] It’s more than 10 hours.”

10 hours is generally considered generoud for action adventure titles such as God of War III. Its predescsesors took between 6 and 8 hours to complete for most.
