The last battle alone in the good campaign took a solid 3 hours to complete. I've heard it taking upwards of 4-5 hours for some. @Ben: Indeed, the slowdowns are a drag. But the PC version, no matter how good your system, still had wicked bad slowdowns. So at least it's not a matter of the 360 being inadequate. For sure we'll have to play soon. I haven't played against any of my friends yet and am looking forward to taking you down, errr, I mean... battling it out. :P @Jeff: Yeah, I wouldn't recommend a game like this for people like you that don't have extended periods of play time.

I must admit that the slowdown does get a bit much at times. I am completely hooked on the single player missions, have not ventured on Live yet. Might see you on there sometime Matt. Ben (aka vassie79) Nice review.

A lot of my gaming is done in short bursts of time as a break from work, etc. Games like NFSMW or Burnout are great for me. Maybe I'll wait till I have some vacation time to have a go at this one.
