3. (This is going to be an important reason why some critics may give it a lower score). THE GAME IS SHORT. By my estimates you can beat this game in less than 8 hours (8 hours is probably going to be the avarage) another letdown in comparision to Galaxy that was 20 hours long on average.

Could you elaborate on this?

What's strictly necessary to complete the game is rather limited. If you immediately go for the *thank you for playing*, you're going to be done quick. Most moons are optional, about half of them actually only unlock AFTER you've beaten Bowser
