Great game, extremely short

First of all, it's a great game. And i mean GREAT. The art is sublime, sound effects are amazing. Music, when existent is good; there is no music most of the game and, even though i didn't like that, it's a production choice, not a mistake, and it's well implemented.
The game itself is awesome. It's like a bloody Mario. Controls are perfect (played with keyboard, couldn't tell on xbox) and, mostly, you always know where to go, whether you know how to. You never feel lost. Yet, it's a challenging game, tough even for moments.
The only real problem with the game is the length: it only took me a couple hours to beat it and i was taking my time. There are some collectibles and achievements but i honestly couldn't care less. I want more puzzles, not some ----- achievements to brag on xbox live.
Gamespot's review said the ending was abrupt; i couldn't differ more. I think the ending was wonderful, and if it was the ending in a Spielberg movie they'd love it. You may not like the holes in the, well, extremely bizarre story (if you can call it a story), but the ending goes perfectly according to what little you've been told so far.
I think it's an amazing game and anyone who enjoys puzzles and platformers should play it.
