Even with what official game length (I forgot, but let's say 2 hours) Kojima gives, they never say if it is played by a skilled player or what. After all it varies for each person, for shit gamers like me, it may take much longer. Besides, don't judge the game before it is even released and base the judgements on speculations, we are still looking at an incomplete picture, if not tip of an iceberg. Also 2 hours could just be if you skip all those optional stuffs in the main game - they never explained.

GZ is after all, a prologue like MGS 2 Tanker to its Plant main story. I hate to say but I really don't expect it to be longer than one act of MGS4, if not as short as the Tanker (although this will be very disappointing). If it is as short as Tanker, then I personally prefer a full package of GZ+TPP in one go by spring 2015, rather than playing another "Tanker" kind of game alone next month and then TPP later. But well -- Kojima made the decision and let's see if it is up to our expectations.
