So God of War 3 reviews are pouring in across the internet, and one common claim from various writers is that the game takes about 8 hours to complete.

Ken Feldman from Sony Santa Monica has hit back at the claims, which he says are inaccurate.

“Hey Guys,

Reviews are awesome, we are humbled as developers. I think around 40% are perfect scores, unbelievable!!!

The one issue that has irked me is some reviewers are listing this as an 8hr game. This is not an 8 hr game, the fastest play tester on normal mode took 12 or 13 hours during the final play through – the fastest!

I have no idea why or what the motivation is to put out misinformation.

-Ken Feldman”

So there we have it, various reviewers are claiming its an 8 hours game, while Sony maintains that  it’s at least 12 or 13 hours.
