well, i dont understand theomen. Halo is probably the 1st game to give you that feeling , with the x-box power, they had power to create something; a world that was more alive. but still, the 1st MoH on psx did put you in the middle of a warfare with tank and bomber and other artiellry. with all the ignorance you flagged me, i still belive Halo was "just another FPS"
i belive also GT3 was just another racer. in fact, wasnt it entitled GT2 for PS2 with new champship ? GT3 and no such big impact on racing game like GT1 and GT2 did.
