[...] Valkyria Chronicles and you own a PS3, you should really consider checking the game out. We rated the game quite highly and for good reason, the fusion of a strategy RPG and third person action blends [...]

I agree with the score- SRPGS average around 50+ hours at LEAST. The Disgaea series generally lasts 100+ hours.

The “hour-age” if you will has gone up. I feel old, but I remember when non Final Fantasy RPGS were at an average of 20+, then 30+, then 40.

Probably… an older gamer?

30 hours used to be considered about average. And this was just last-gen.

10 hours is utterly unacceptable.

60 hours is good.

250+ hours (hallo there, BG2) is phenomenal.

How could you give a 30+ hour game only 8.5?

Fantastic review. Valkyria Chronicles is, in my opinion, second only to LBP in terms of being the best offering of this generation.

It’s also a tragedy the game hasn’t sold better. This year Sega brought us Valkyria and Yakuza 2, two fantastic games, neither of which sold very well. It’s a crying shame, it is.

Great review! I’m a huge fan of SRPGS, and this is a step in the new direction for the genre. If it wasn’t for this evolution, SRPGS might have died out soon enough.
