Saw the reviews this morning at ign.com and I must say they are good. 8.2 for the consoles, and 7.1 for the 3DS. My only concern in these reviews is that in the video reviews the reviewer stated that the console versions, he finished in 8 hours, and the 3DS on in 5. I know the previous games were not the longest,, but I played all through and do not remember them being this short. Haven't purchased Swap Force yet, as I am not sold on the swapping idea. Not sure how to take the reviews, but if this is the case and you can finish them without at least, all the swappers, not sure it is worth the investment. Just wanted to FYI everyone. Thanks. Blessings

Happy Hunting

People said that both SSA and Giants would take 8 hours to complete too, but realistically it was 8 hours doing as much as you can with the starter pack (going to all the elemental zones etc) so I can imagine that these time frames were judged based on a normal play through i.e. by not attempting to complete it 100%.

When I got Giants, I attempted a day 1 100% run of it and only managed to get through half of the game in the time it took me to complete SSA with just the starter pack; going through as many elemental zones as possible.

I have no doubt that the length of Swap Force will depend on how much you're willing to spend on new characters/how many characters you already own.

Swap Force is really big, believe me. Some youtubers out there did 3 parts already just for the 1st chapter! The first chapter can take in the minimum 30 minutes, but normally goes up to 1 hour.
