Which is shorter: Bioshock or No More Heroes?

[egparadigm]

Bit of a strange question, I'll grant you! I've just completed OoT and it was a bit of a slog; these are the next two games I've bought and I'd like to do the shorter one first. I'm talking main campaign if there are side-quests.

If they're approx. the same length, is either one particularly difficult or does it suffer from difficulty spikes?

Thanks!

No More Heroes is probably the shorter game if you ignore the sidequests and don't bother trying to collect all the hidden orbs / buying all the clothes etc. You'll find it quite hard going if you do that though as you really need the weapon upgrades in the later stages.

Bioshock is not *overly* long but again it depends how thorough you want to be. If you just want to whizz through you can probably do it in 8 hours or so but you'll miss a good part of what makes the game so unique.

What Matty said

They're basically very similar lengths (under ten hours) so either should suit your need for a short game after the OOT slog!

I've never understood how people managed to play through Bioshock in under 10 hours first time through. Took me almost 20 (But then I savoured every moment).

I certainly didn't rush it but i recall it being over rather soon, wish i had savoured every single moment actually but sometimes you just get swept along with the plot you know

Same could be said of No More Heroes really, could do with playing through that again actually....
