About 5 hours to beat the main story of Gears of War, and about 9 hours with some of the side content. The story figure is the average for players who went to the credits without much of the side content, so a playthrough that wanders runs longer.
About 5 hours for the main story, 9 hours with some extras and 15 hours for 100%, going by the averages IGDB players have logged.
About 15 hours to complete Gears of War fully, about 2.9 times the main story.
