The FMV transitions combined with the ability to look at each node gives the illusion that is is a 3D world, but it's all flat, 2D graphics using a special technique to make it appear 3D.

You just proved the point I was trying to make.. you can't just plop that game under one label. It has lots of real time 3D elements thrown in on top of the 2D panoramic views, combined with FMV. 2.5D is probably the closest label that fits it.

GF's character-relative control mode worked fine though, unless you think the character turns too slowly.
