XBox 360 World's RE5 Mag Cover

[xfactor]

What you see here is the cover for XBox 360 World magazine, which should be out for sales today. As the title state, this issue features a review for RE5. Click on the image above to check out the larger version of the image.

Also, as to the speculation on whether their "7 hrs+" completion time was for the 3 chapter review copy or the full game, they have confirmed that they have the full game. This is what they have to say in the comment section:

Sorry to disappoint you Roddy but while some magazines were only handed a three chapter demo for preview purposes, we were given the finished game to review. If you want proof go grab the magazine tomorrow and turn to page 67 to see a picture of the chapter select screen (fear not - it's otherwise spoiler free) with our total game time for the first complete play through.

Pretty cool cover. But is this a US magazine (forgive my ignorance) or another country, and if US where can I get it and does it come out today or tomorrow?

[Mr_Zombie]

And so, RE5 will get its first low score ;).

But it's really weird with this 7+ hours gameplay.

Oh, and about the cover - I don't like it. It very chaotic, there's too many things on it.

[News Bot]

What a terrible cover. So much green. Goddamn.

Well, the magazine was hyped to give the first ever Resi 5 review from the UK, so that makes it a UK magazine.

As for the green color, well...the main reason must be that its is a magazine for xbox 360 green is associate with xbox 360

they gives a snippet from the RE5 feature/article, which they stated "Seven hours, thirty six minutes and one second" as their "original completion time".

Scroll down to the comment section and you will see comment written by XBW_Matthew, who confirms that they have the full game.

I don't actually mind 7 hours odd. I found Resident Evil 4 went on too much and the game would be far benificial actually losing a few sections to make it tighter on the whole.

I'd much rather have a carefully crafted and lean 7 hour game than a padded out, tedious 12 hour one.etc.

Given a walkthrough, RE4 can be completed in a similar time or less the first time around. Shock tactic to get people buy the magazine? I would say yes.

[Mr. Kennedy]

Better not be only 7 hours.

Or Capcom lied to garner more sales.
Reminds me of when they said Silent Hill Origins was going to be 15+ hours; completed it in 4.

[marcusray]

Somethings not right here...from Jun saying it's going to be "a little longer than RE4" and now 7 hours?

I'm so sick of reading this elitism bullshit... :thumbs down:

[ElusionM]

It's freakin REVIEWERS.

They rush through the game, basically doing the average speed run of 7 or so hours.

The game is not 7 hours.

[BadWolfX]

See, I don't get it. I doubt every single other review/preview was lying about the length of time it took them to complete it, because what would be the point?

I mean, he completed the game in the same time some reviewers completed half of it. It does make me wonder whether he just ran through the whole game and didn't take the time to explore.

I'm peeved now. Not because of the score but because I know I'm going to find threads elsewhere started by people who are going to link to the one review as proof that the game blows chunks and that Resident Evil now sucks. I'll keep this guys opinon in mind but I'm going to think the other previews are more accurate time wise.
