I always preferred 2d adventures to 3d ones. As you said, 3d can't replace the classic feeling. Then again, I haven't played too many 3d adventure games...Maybe I should play more?
Sorry for my late reply, I just joined. I disagree, developers now-a-days just dont know how to give that classic feel with 3D worlds. Its all down to profit, and killing makes profit. Compare Half Life 2 & Broken Sword, they are both in different leagues so you cant compare them, Broken Sword might sell well as an adventure game but no where near Halo, Half Life, Jedi Knight... etc.
