Could someone tell me how long the campaign modes are for Hitman Blood Money and Far Cry Instincts?

Hitman (tons of time due to achievements and difficulty) is awesome, especially the ending.
FarCry (20 hours total) is also amazing in that you're constantly being hunted by mercs, gaining superhuman powers throughout the 2nd half of the (1st) game, given the option to kill people almost anyway you want, there is non-stop action, and, you get 2 campaign modes. This game was my favorite single player story last year for the Xbox and still holds up for the 360.

HItman is maybe 10 hours long, depending on what rank you go for (you need Silent Assassin ranks for many of the achievements). It plays much like any other Hitman game, if you've tried any of those. It has a high replay value, as there are multiple ways of completing each mission, although I rented and returned it 2 weeks later.
They're both pretty lengthy.
Hitman: Blood Money's campaign has a ton or replayability to it, what with the achievements and different difficulties... and different combinations of ways to ice your hits.
There isn't really much of an incentive to play through FarCry's campaigns more than once, but the multi-player can be tons of fun. But, as far as the campaigns go, they're fairly lengthy -- but you'll have the feeling of "I want more", as the last couple of levels feel fairly rushed (creatively).

Hitman is great and the ending is great, as mentioned. It took me about 20 hours to get all the acheivements. If you just want to play once through the campaign it would probably take about 5-8 hours depending on difficulty.
Far Cry I have only played multiplayer so far which is really fun. I heard the campaign is roughly about 12- 15 hours.

I also agree with hitman being great. I've replayed the missions a ton of times and find many things new each time. The "Silent Assassin" ratings are hard to get on some of the levels.

Hitman can be done in 5-6 hours on medium difficulty especially if you don't care about Silent Assassin ratings. The great thing about Hitman IMO is there are so many ways to complete a level and kill people on each level, it makes it fun to replay the levels a lot. Not to mention the ending is awesome. If you play it on each difficulty level and go for Silent Assassin ratings on each difficulty, your looking at probably 20 hours of play time. I wish it was longer personally.
Far Cry is actually pretty long. The first part will take 15-25 hours depending on difficulty level and the second part takes about 4-6 hours. The second part is a lot easier because you have your feral abilities from the beginning and it makes it a lot easier to beat it. The story is pretty good and it definitely has an Island of Dr. Moreau feeling during the last third of the game. The multiplayer is alright and the map editor is pretty cool too.

Hitman is quite short actually. But it makes up for it with replayability. Each missino can take you anywhere from 10 mins to an hour depending on how you complete it. So really the game varys from your play style. I beat the game in about a week or so playing a mission or 2 a day.

I'll speak about Far Cry off of experience with both of the Xbox1 versions (Instincts, Evolution), which I believe are lumped together to make the Xbox 360 one (Predator)
The Instincts campain should take you 10-12 hours, and the Evolution campaign an aditional 5-7 hours. The games are fun, but VERY linear, which is a big departure from the original FarCry for PC. The original Instincts campaign is better than Evolution, though they're both fun and quite challenging. I do agree with the above poster about the level design getting worse near the end - I noticed entire sections of levels in the last half of Instincts ripped STRAIGHT from Far Cry with very minor modifications (namely, the WW2 fort you come across, is EXACLTY the same in both games).
Multiplayer is TONS of fun though, and is further enhanced by the easy to use and very amusing map maker.
