Yes. I've noticed the dramatically low scores do seem to correspond with the shortest play times. (3-4 hours)

If you sprinted your way through AMFP, or any horror game for that matter, then in some ways it's your own fault if you didn't enjoy it. This ain't Call of Duty.

I finished in about 5 hours. I tried to take my time, I really did. During the first hour and a half, turning each corner was a source of dread. Then I was able to successfully predict when they were and weren't going to throw enemies at me. Thus, I lost the sense of terror and was able to continue at a quicker pace.

Also, I disliked how I, the player, was exposed to Mandus' plight almost entirely through journal entries...

Spoiler below!

Yes, I SAW his dead children, but I didn't feel bad primarily because I wasn't given any reason to appreciate their characters. Yes, he wrote about it in his diaries pages, (which were written nicely) only the impact isn't as intense because I'm not hearing his disheartened, saddened voice.
Seriously, I didn't see Mandus' character change at his realization of the fate of his children or that he was manipulated by the machine. He just wrote about it in his journal.

A:TDD is an "different game", yes, but think of Daniel's diary pages. He was a harmless, innocent man who was manipulated by Alexander into doing terrible things. I felt and understood his situation because I heard the emotion in his voice.

Anyway, perhaps it's just me. =/
