So long as it isn't too short it's no problem for a Metroid game. I'd certainly complain if Prime had only been as long as the store demo of Prime, or fusion only as long as the store demo of Fusion (the first time I ever saw a CARTRIDGE demo), because that's too short even for Metroid. However, all things considering I expect to take at most 15 hours to get through a Metroid game the first time, and even then that's generally because I always take my time and take in the sights when playing them. That's enough time for that kind of game.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
