Bit of litteral knowledge for you... as regards book a:

1st person narrative is from the point of view of the character. So they use the I word.

3rd person narrative is the fly on the wall style thing.

2nd person isn't I but you, now i don't know how this applies to games but that is what a 2nd person narrative is.

So first person book would say: I went for a walk

A third person book would say: Mary went for a walk

A second person book would say: You went for a walk.

You do the rest.

I might be talking nonsense (likely), but technically, wouldn't 1st person be where you're looking through the character's eyes and have control over them, 2nd person where you're behind the character and have control over them, and 3rd person where you behind the character and have NO control over them... despite 3rd person being what I'd call 2nd person?

I think that is rare had stayed, as the title is star foz adventures : dino planet..if it still thats. The adventureS and the : lead me to think is was a series kinda thing.
Maybe nintendo will do it anyway, who needs rare? (anyone says microsoft ill kill em :))

now too poor - birthdays, christmas, banking robbing
refuse - dont
don't want to buy an XBox - its star fox..as in nintendos star fox.

I meant similar in its 3-D sense.

I dislike 3-D multiplayers, for some odd reason. Don't know why.

Unless the multiplayer was specificly built for it, it looks odd to me.

I agree about JFG weapons - They didn't cause much damagae in mutiplayer. Bugs didn't standa chance though. HEHE! Triple Rocket Launcher! YAH!

Ah well. Never see a sequel (if there is one) now (too poor/refuse/don't want to buy an XBox)
