the two hours trial (still have 44 minutes left). How long is the
licensed full game and how's replayability? Too bad this game doesn't
have online multiplayer. :(

Main quest is about 10 - 15 hours, if you don't mess with the side
quests, phase portals, or treasure maps. But once you finish it you
unlock the Infinite Dungeon, just like in Fate, which is essentially
bottomless. I think there is a bottom level around 1E12 or
something. But all of these will probably bore you soon enough.
The biggest plus for replayability is the mod community. Runic
released mod tools a few weeks ago and all kinds of mods are starting
to pop-up including new classes. Might want to give it sometime for
some of the projects to get out of alpha and beta.

I generally dislike this type of game because of the camera view. But
I did buy it after playing the demo, and you're right, it's very
addictive.
The endless quest for better weapons, armour and gemstones coupled
with the skill progression has stood the test of time through many
games over the years. Just picking up those items, then needing to
identify them to see their affixes is enough to keep me playing.
I've played about 4 hours of it. I don't know the length of the game,
but I think It's going to provide a respectable amount of gaming
hours. I play 30-45 minutes at a time so it's probably going to last
me months rather than weeks.

Ah cool. It is addicting like Diablo games. :)

I bought it, but a few levels down and I am getting bored and I don't
have a lot of enthusiasm to fire it up again. I quite like this kind
of game, but am not a big fan of dungeons (with the exception of one
of my favourite ever games Dungeon Keeper), and I like to see fresh
air and some eye candy like Guild Wars.

IMHO this game just gets better the longer you play. I have not even
started the main quest yet and I've put in over 30+ hours. I do this by
buying "maps" from the Gem Merchant in town. I buy all the maps she has,
and when I get done with one map I go back to see her and she has more
to sell. So far I have about 20 maps in my "stash chests" I'm having a
blast because you never know where the map is going to take you. I've
seen some really cool places so far. And it can get really hard if you
pick a map that is above your level.
This game is great because you have access to higher skills/fame without
having to do the whole "open the tree" way most games like this work.
Very cool. The fame skills are off the chart. I see myself playing this
for a very long time.
I also really like the look of the game. Very colorful and fun, not some
gloomy dungeon crawl.

What type of scenarios so far? I am in the hot lava levels. It reminds
me of old Diablo games. I really wished the game had online multiplayer
to play with people. :)

Played through the demo tonight. Its not my kind of game and I wont be
buying it. While I played the demo to the end it just didn't generate
any desire to play further

Same here but just didn't get to the end of the demo ... now back to
Dragon Age while I wait for a decent FPS to come out.
