Give or take.

You unlock different missions after completing it though, and there is many trophies / achievements to unlock. There is more replayability than first glance

Really? It took me 2 and a half hours to finish my first play through.

Since it's a MGS game, can I assume 29 of that was a cut scene?

The intro cut scene is about 7 minutes. Pretty much all game play to the end. Long cut scenes after, though.

No one completed their first play through in 30 mintues, FWIW, but who am I to deny someone of their exaggerations? I'm a vet in the series and it took me about 90 minutes. Gotta admit, there's a lot of replay value from this "demo". Especially those who are fans of the series. The Deja Vu side mission is titty sprinkles.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. The singular/main story mission is fairly short by most game standards. The appeal of the game in my opinion is how fun it is to play. I've played the main mission several times trying new tactics and approaches infiltrating the base. I often discovered new doors, items and mechanics that I didn't know were in the game. The other missions use the same map but have different objectives that require you to use all of the game's mechanics. I became a fan of the MGS series because of it's crazy story, but the Ground Zeroes gameplay is what kept me wanting to play through all the missions to get the highest scores! I've clocked about 18 hours in the game and I didn't replay one mission 36 times...
