I really want to play this, but I've heard that it's short, and it's still at full price, and I still have so much to play

Hopefully it will go on PS+ at some point, as a discount if not a free game.

Incidentally, although VGC seems to love the game, gamrReview readers despise it. Look at the comments: http://www.gamrreview.com/article/89618/2012-game-of-the-year-awards-the-winners

EDIT: All of the offensive comments seem to have been deleted, but they were overwhelmingly negative about our GoTY choice.

It's extremely short.  I beat it in about 90 minutes.  I don't agree with it getting game of the year awards but it is enjoyable regardless of it being super short.
