The game has suffered from oversensitive fans pre-release, who only want this new game to be just like Doom 1+2 (kind of like how some Halo fans behave sadly). This is actually a Doom I have liked from the start so I'm thinking about jumping in. How long is the single player?

I'm five levels in and it took me about 3.5 hours. There are, I believe, 13 chapters. So probably 8-10 hours, depending how much exploration you do.

I'm not loving it so far. The glory kills are cool at first but after 200 of them they get kind of stale. When the game is at its best it's a fast, frenetic bloodbath. But more often than not it just feels like a tired, uninspired shooter cobbled together out of pieces from the FPS/horror grab bag.

The campaign is better than multiplayer though, which sort of falls in a no man's land between modern military shooter and classic arena shooter.

Hope you don't think I'm an oversensitive fan

So it's like a modern day Serious Sam?
