assistant: yes but you see if you know how doom levels are made you will see what i mean
to make a doom levels you have to draw a map, then give the sectors "rooms"
ceiling hight and floor depth.  that's where the 1/2 comes from.
(that is the pc virsion of doom)  any game can have the illusion of 3d. but
unless the game has an actual z-axis it's still 2 1/2 D. you see?
        if only doom was a true 3d game then and only then could you have
multi-story buildings within the game it's self. oh if only.. but there are
many games you there that are already better then doom.
        Have you ever played decent?  id have to agree that that is true 3d.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Marc,
Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but yours is one of total crap.
That's bull. There were 2000 moves in Virtua Fighter 2, maybe VF3 does only
have 2 extra characters, but the game is certainly not a trashy rehash of
SF2 with two extra characters that have the same boring moves as everybody
else.
Why, what do you play? Killer Instinct?
Yeah, agreed. The graphics are good, but the game is also a lot of fun,
it's not just a crappy clone of Street Fighter with some idiots yelling out
all sorts of tripe when they do a big spinning uppercut or fireball.
Tekken, now that's a LAME game. Sixteen or so characters with the same moves,
same sounds, same graphics and polygons that glitch constantly.
The controls aren't good.
If you learn how to play VF2 or VF3 you'll enjoy it.
