That's simulated perspective, not real perspective. When you move a camera normally, it changes not just what objects obscure what parts of what other objects, but how they obscure themselves.

Well it fooled me. Besides it looks sexy

Diablo II's perspective option looks gross. =(

I voted for graphics are irrelevant. I grew up playing 2D games so I'm used to playing 2D games. I think gameplay is more important than just looks. I think of 3D graphics as an added perk. I also don't have a real gaming computer, so I can't even be that concerned with getting the best graphics from a game. However, after playing SC2, even on low settings, when I came back to SC it did surprise me how dated the 2D sprites looked to me. But it just required a short adjustment period and it doesn't really bother me. I'll always appreciate a good 2D game as it gives a nice nostalgic feeling, but if I ever get some good hardware I might end up getting spoiled with 3D graphics.

I have a friend who's all about graphics. He simply doesn't bother with anything 2D. I got into a debate with him about how 2D games can be good, but his argument is that there are 3D games that are just as good. I think part of the issue is also games in three dimensions vs games in two dimensions. He doesn't bother with two dimensional games either, as he thinks games in three dimensions always have that added depth.

I voted 2D because I have a strange fetish for well put together 2D games. They're easy to understand, but hard to master. I do rather enjoy 3D if the camera is well done, though unfortunately, the camera is typically not well done. But some things have done better in 3D than in 2D (metroid series anyone?).

Both are the same game made by the same developer, One with flash, the other with a new browser plugin that allows support for models, and uses graphics card and other things on your computer to maximize its efficiency.

Point of the matter is this, making 2d look like 3d was a good idea when 3d was new and still buggy, or laggy, or looked plain ugly. Now 3d that looks like 2d is a much better option.
