No offense, but IGN isn't the only negative review out there for the game. There have been some good reviews, but overall, impressions have been all over the place. You can figure out for yourself what that means, the metacritic average is a 7.
I'm sorry, but I really don't think it should matter that the game is 5-6 hours. First it is a beat 'em up, a genre whhich traditionally features games on the short side. The developers have obviously put effort into adding to the replayabilty and side missions, (mini-games, hard mode, and obviously the hundreds of ways to kill people.) If a developer does all they can to make a great game and because of that it shorter than average, we shouldn't punish them.
I do see where you are coming from, since I don't have tons of money, but I also don't really have the time to play a game for 40 hours or so anyway. If its a good game I'll be happy.
