Thirded. Beat it in less than 10 hours, and that was going slowly and re-playing levels now and then. It's one of those games that's more about going back and beating your high scores than about seeing the credits roll, but still... Good game, just way too damn SHORT. Especially when you consider that some maps are re-used upwards of three or four times.

Total Annihilation: Kingdoms wasn't TOO too short, but enough that the ending came absolutely out of the blue. When I saw the credits start to roll after doing what seemed like a mid-campaign filler mission, my reaction was, ".........that's IT?!"

Same with Thief 3. It felt too short anyway, but the final mission is just so lacking that it made a bad thing worse. The endings of both games come utterly out of the blue because of (1) a lack of any significant plot developments in the last mission or any real lead-up to to final boss, and (2) the fact that said final mission isn't even as hard or interesting as some of the mid-game areas. Disappointment.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Any game with a level cap of 30 isn't destined to be very long, sadly. It's short enough that it's one of the few RPGs I've ever seen anyone do a speed run for (3 hours, 57 minutes).

There's nowhere I can't reach.
