What a Huge Disappointment

Where do I start?
Yes, those are some mighty HD sets and characters, but who cares? Jeopardy is a game that could probably have been pulled off more convincingly on an ipod touch than it has been on the PS3.
Why is it that the tech involved for the PS2 disk version is somehow more impressive than the tech involved in the PS3 version.
For a game touting HD, there is shockingly little production value. No host, no voice acting (Even my DS Games have voice acting).
Oh, and pretensions of intellect aside, did we really have to dumb down a game that is known for being unique for its cerebral and erudite quality? I don't watch or play Jeopardy so that I can hearken back to middle school social studies pop quizzes. Multiple Choice answers may streamline play, but voice support could have done the same while still keeping Jeopardy at least moderately challenging.
Oh, and how many of you were insulted that the game has in game trophies complete with the trophy icon, but that they couldn't deliver the moderate effort needed to patch actual PSN trophies into the game?
It may have only been 10 bucks, but now I wish I'd picked up Burn Zombie Burn.
If they patch in trophy support, feel free to raise my score by a half star. If they retroactively add them based on current in game accomplishments, give the game 3 stars.
