Then again, Neverwinter Nights' OC promised 25+, and I completed it in seven, so it's probably YMMV.
Hang on, are you saying you finished the entire NWN campaign in seven hours? The first time through? Seven hours into the official campaign, I was still rolling my character! I really don't remember how long I spent on the campaign, but I think it was on the order of 50-80 hours for the first run through. I can't imagine playing through it in less than 25 hours, even knowing where everything is and skipping some of the dialog.
Back on topic, right now I'm leaning towards getting Doom 3. I understand from what I've read that it has pretty basic, straightforward gameplay, but then I think about the games that I keep coming back to (Double Dribble, Super Mario Bros., Quake) and I conclude that perhaps 'straightforward' is what I'm in the mood for right now. If I do get it, I'll let you all know how it runs on a minimum spec computer.
