Wasted Peanuts?

I was quite excited when I read some time ago that Namco had aquired a license to make games based on the comic strip, Peanuts. However, now I've read news of their first game using the license, I find that I'm a little disappointed. Of all the richness that comes from 50 years of strips, with a wealth of possible game ideas, we find that yet another excellent license is trivialised with an action game. Can we please have some games that use the characters to their full potential?
