No matter how this title turns out I will never understand Stern's marketing decision to show it off like this (with so little code support). I understand just showing the "box of lights" as a preview but showing (let alone releasing) gameplay at this stage of maturity boggles the mind. This is too frequently becoming their MO the last few years.

I also don't understand licensing. How does one license the video (of actors) but not the audio (of the same actors). I get it when it comes to sound-tracks as they usually are licensed to be in a movie. I am sure it has to do with cost because there is no way any intellectual property owner would simply refuse to do this for any other reason than the buyer doesn't have enough money to procure the complete license.

Geeze, they might as well have tried a knock-off theme called "Defenders of the Universe" and had a talking Squirrel as one of the main characters.

oh well, here is hoping Stern can pull it all together.
