I am considering buying this game. But I was wondering, what is the average play time? Me and some of the guys I play with can get through a 4 player game of Risk in about 90 minutes. Do you think(after learning the ropes) Dust would take longer or shorter time then that?
I am considering buying the game, too.
Futility
Move him into the sun
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him, even in France,
Until this morningthis snow.
If anything might rouse him now
The kind old sun will know.

so the best way to figure out if you like it, would be, go ot your FLGS and ask if you can play it there. My golden rule is, i will never ever buy games i didnot play.
well, that's great, but what if you can't try it?
I've bought some games based purely on reviews and hunch (this one is still in consideration) cause I simply haven't had the chance to play it anywhere.

I would never have found FFG if I didn't buy games unplayed. My first FFG game was Doom and I almost instantly discovered that I love basically everything they put out. That said, I'm not exactly cavalier about buying games sight unseen either, but I definitely will take a chance on some. Especially if I've enjoyed other games by the same company.

I truly don't see it being much like Risk. I DO think it's the best version of Axis & Allies in existence.

If you're playing Risk - a multi-day game for most people - in 90 minutes, you should be able to finish a game of Dust in about 5. 
I certainly enjoy Dust. I people compare it to RISK because Dust is a "light" wargame. Although, I would put more on par with Basic Attack! (Eagle Games) than with Risk. It is definately simplier than A&A.
However, if you want a game that is aggresive and plays is a relativly finite amount of time...Dust has a fixed duration...with a simple rule set, then Dust is the game for you or your group.
Although, personally I wished they had included the power text on the cards rather than simply put pictures.
Without Signature
The more I read here, the more I like it. I read the comics and they were beautiful. I'm trying to avoid another Risk game, but a world conquering wargame that doesn't take 4 hours to play would be good.
