The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind. That game is WAY too short. :p

Seriously though, Star Wars: Republic Commando should've been longer.

As far as current games go, I'm not sure, but my stock answer to this has always been Marble Madness. So much fun, addicting and challenging, but I always wished there was more than just those 6 levels.

You played Marble Madness?
That game pwn'd! I don't think I ever made it past level 5 though...I used to play it on this ancient computer with a old joystick at the computer lab years ago! Wow...that brings back memories...great game.

Marble Madness? I've never beaten the second level. Does that make me pathetic? No. That game is ridiculously hard, especially on the Game Boy.

Anyway, a game I wish was longer, eh? Hmm...well, how about the Hitman games? They have good replay value, but there's only so many times you can go on a shooting rampage in some hotel in Budapest, you know?

Also, Luigi's Mansion is the classic example of a too-short game.

Fable. If you've played you know what I mean, the entire game took me about 2 hours. It's fun in the sense that you can make your character all cool and everything, but the maker dudes must of gotten lazy afterwards.

Rathcet Deadlocked. Keep in mind, I don't complain that it's short. It was just short, thats all.

Spyro 2 was an old kiddie game! It's simple platforming! And yet it still rocks.

Howz about Frogger: The Great Quest? You can beat it in a couple of hours. If you can manage to find your way through the Goblin Desert Caverns.

PS, Dr. Starkenstein rocks!

A few for me would be:

Luigi's Mansion: It's super-fun except for the fact that I beat the first two parts in about an hour on my second try.

Nanostray: Besides it's difficulty, this game had potential. Sadly, that potential died from it's shortness.

Yoshi's Touch and Go: Another game that had potential, but was wasted in a minigame basically.

Wario Ware: Touched!: I'm not sure how long the other Wario Ware games are, but the night I got this one, I had almost finished the game. I guess the little toys add replayability, though.

That's about all I have right now, but I'm bound to come up with more in the next hour.

Marble Madness could be 5 levels, and I'd never know, I couldn't ever get past level 5.

As for games I own, there aren't many, as I pretty much only own sports games, fighting games, and "driving games" (Crazy Taxi, NASCAR, and GTA type games).
Most of those games have a multiplayer modes or don't "end" (career mode) so they don't count.

I really can't think of any game I would like to last longer. Chrono Trigger comes to mind, but that's about the only one I can really think of.

I've only ever really played one video game, and it went on long enough. It's for the SNES, and it's called "Goof Troop". It's pretty grood, and highly addictive. I'm sure it might be too easy for a lot of you guys, but it took me and my friends, like, a year to beat it. Of course, they didn't come over that often. But I'm a video game wimp.

Hopefully they won't do that with Twilight Princess... I'm almost glad taking longer with it.

Metrroid: Fusion seemed pretty short. Maybe it's just me.

Oh well. At least Ocarina of Time had enough dungeons.

Majora's Mask and Minish Cap were both ridiculously short. I beat Minish Cap so quickly. There needed to be many more dungeons.

A game I wish was longer would be Halo 2.
Sure, it isn't too short, but the ending is just so abrupt. I wish I could "finish the fight" with MC right now.

Thats the one with the pirates and all that stuff! I have that!

Sadly, my SNES is locked in the basement(probably). Poor Yoshi's Island.

Also Obo, if we're gonna say Mega man games, let me just list the entire series. :p

If you mean only the classic ones, then I kinda agree, with the exception of Mega Man 3. It had just the right lenght, with the Doc Robots and Break Man and stuff like that. It was also my favorite of the classic Mega Man series.

Then, to make it longer, they had to fit 5 fortresses in one game. ;)

Hmm...uhh...

Pac Man? I'm not sure, considering there's no plot and thus no ending.
