Hi Lori, That's alright. A lot of VI gamers don't know the difference in game types, styles, etc do to their total lack of experience with mainstream games. Lots of people think Shades of Doom is 3d when in fact it isn't. It has 3d audio, but it technically would be classified as a 2d FPS because you are still limited to a 2d plain with only north, south, east, west movement with no ability to travel along a third axis up/down. That third axis of movement makes all the difference in the world as it adds, well, another dimmention to the game play.
For example, in MOTA 3D harpies actually hover around in the air above you, and you have to aim your gun up as well as turn left/right to shoot them. They aren't just straight ahead of you like a centaur or skeleton might be. That, of course, is completely different from the side-scroller game most people know now, because you really have to aim your gun fairly precisely to hit anything. Not only that but the traps are different two. Some traps you might be able to skirt by walking around the edges, while others, you will have to jump over to get passed them. It is a totally different experience altogether. Cheers!
