I couldn't get into the "free-view" thing. Call me old-fashioned, but I liked the stills, and in my opinion nothing can ever compare to or replace that. There was so many things about the still image system they had going on in Myst and Riven that is impossible to duplicate when the player is able to freely look around each area. An example would be the amazing puzzle in Riven where you had to find those little glowing things around the islands that served as the eye for some sort of creature that was formed by the environment around it. (e.g. the frog being outlined by the mouth of the cave when you look out of it.)
