Short? Sure, there are only five main worlds, but each is larger than any of the worlds from the Banjo games or DK64, and they all have those expanded versions of the stage to upgrade to as well that add more areas in them. So no, I don't think the game is short at all. There's a lot to do, particularly if you want to get everything. Many challenges in each level require powers from later levels, so there's lots of replay value once you get more abilities, and since it's a Rare-style game you want to collect as much as you can...
I do agree with the consensus that the Rextro minigames are not very good, though; that's one of the few things that reviews of this game actually get right... because other than that it's amazing. It is too bad that the Rextro games aren't better, maybe the games' low-ish budget shows there, but they are a fairly small part of the game so it's not too bad.
Other than that, really the only other complaint I have is that the game really needs a button that lets you quickly restart the current challenge. As it is, if you mess up a challenge in a stage, whether it's going through rings, a race, having to reach a point before a switch times out, or what have you, you have to wait for that challenge to end on its own, and then go back to the start point manually, in order to try again. A quicker restart, to let you avoid having to waste time doing nothing waiting for things to end or trekking back to the start point of something, would be great.
(Some people seem to really dislike the camera, but I think it's completely fine, no issues worth mentioning.)
