We really wanted to try to make it as good, if not better than the Xbox version.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Huston also said that &ldquo;Nearly $100 of additional content, all 3 major expansion packs [Lair of the Shadow Broker, Project Overlord, Kasumi: Stolen Memory] and over a dozen smaller Pieces of DLC altogether adds up to approximately 20 hours of additional gameplay.&rdquo; I&rsquo;m calling shenanigans on the 20 hours of additional gameplay.
