	The constant swithcing of camera angles really bothers me with
this one.  I was quite content with Flash Back (the 2nd in the series)
which offered side scrolling and great gameplay.  I wish Delphine had
just improved upon the graphics for Fade to Black but instead they are
attempting to out do themselves with a wanna-be virtual reality type
game.  Its a neat concept but in this case simple was better.

Hm?  FB was the second in the series?  If you're referring to it being a 
sequel to Out of this World, it wasn't, since OOTW2 was released last 
year I think, (you play the big alien dude in this one).  And if it was 
the second in _A_ series, which was the first??  Just wondering...

This is the truth (as far as I know;):

1st of all there was Another World (or Out of this World in the
states) with Lester and the big alien dude, then came an unrelated
game (except in style) called Flashback.
Soon the sequel to Flashback, Fade to Black is being released and it
sounds like it really will have a story. I enjoyed the demo BTW once I
got used to the controls...

Later

really? I thought y\the demo was outstanding.. it really blew me away.
Although the ocnstantly shifting camera angles are annoying to some,
you can swith it off by placing the game in "far" mode. I guess it is
just a matter of taste, but I am really looking forward to September
25th! (hopefully, no delays).
