That's not true because there are dips and hills in GTA3. The ground in Micro Machines and GTA 1 are perfectly flat. You drive in three dimensions, not two. The gameplay is still essentially the same, but so is the gameplay of Super Metroid and Metroid Prime. Same damn gameplay, different controls and viewpoints. The example with Jedi Knight is not a good one since you're still looking at the game from the same perspective level, in one you just have a guy in front of you. But anyhow, the perspective makes a massive difference, much, much more than you want to admit. It's the difference between seeing a mountain from high up in a low-flying airplane and actually hiking through it from the surface. So don't tell me that perspective means nothing.
