Hmmm, I'm slightly confused. in what way are 3D fps games inherently more advanced than side scrollers?
surely, how advanced, aka how complex a game is, depends upon many other factors than it's design? an Fps game could be as Symple as Dyna man or Packman talks (though stil most fun), and in the main stream markit, side scrollers have done some amazingly complex things, ----- like Veutiful Jo on the Gc which allows you to slowdown and speed up time I believe. but as has been said, the Fps style has been explored a lot more in audio than the side scrolling style thus far.

Hi Thomas. Always more, more and more FPS (3D games.) These are more realistic, and you can make more advanced games. Best regards Søren.
