I just got this game and (as so many others have posted) can't believe the developer and publisher shipped this incomplete product (maybe they'll claim it was a dis-gruntled janitor that signed all the shipping orders). This is yet another (more glaring than usual at that) example of game makers arrogance and stupidity in treating the consumers (that's us for those of you too blinded by unfulfilled promises from these companies) like we should be glad, no, HONOURED to play a game that has far too many published features not working as well as an irritating amount of bugs. I wonder if they can be brought up on charges of fraud?

I for one am returning this game and not bothering to wait for a 'patch' to fix issues that should never have been allowed to surface anyway. And on top of that, I'll be avoiding any games by this publisher or developer. If others followed suit maybe (though I doubt it) they'd learn to stop treating us in this reprehensible way.

To those of you that are actually putting up with this and, indeed, defending the pub/dev for doing this, I have one word for you: sucker.
