I haven't heard many bad things about it.<br/><br/>As a Mac user, I haven't had the chance to try out a number of big games in the past, but now that I have an Intel Mac, I have XP running on a separate partition and I can try some of them out. I've already started to take a look at Bioshock, Dreamfall, and Jade Empire, but there just aren't enough hours in the day.<br/><br/>Plus, there are just too many good IF games that I still want to play.

Plus, there are just too many good IF games that I still want to play.

It's also a problem I have with many game reviewers who complain that a game is "too short"; a game reviewer's "too short" is usually just the right length for me.<br/><br/>Have you played Half-Life 2? This game came out around the same time as Doom 3, and while it was relatively long, the great thing is that gameplay was always quite varied, so I was always interested in it. It's a big difference from Half-Life 1, which I felt dragged on and on. I totally agree about Doom 3, and most games in general–they definitely go on way too long for their own good.
