Great!  Screw Lemmings, I'm waiting for this!

3 questions:

1) How's the animation/sound.  I'd think it'd be hard to improve on the first 
   one, here.

2) You're in California.  This weekend it hadn't been released in the states,
   yet.  Is it out now?

3) HD installible?  (Fat Chance-- I don't really care about this one when it
   comes to SpeedBall.  Just for everyone else's info)
