thank you all for your help!
I''ve decided it''s going to be a 3-D game with some puzzles. And yes there will be some "chop-sui" parts where you run in and chop demons to peices with your sword.

Anything copyrighted DOES have to be in tangable form. But anything creative you make is copyrighted. Just look HERE for a better explanation.

Well, back on the original subject, if you''re just starting in computer game programming, I''d suggest 2D. You can always make version 2 3D, but 2D is easier, in my opinion, to write then 3D. Much faster to make a prototype, including the graphics, since you said in a different post that you don''t know how to make them. (Well, you said 3D in that post, not 2D)
3D animation is harder too. In 2D, you just switch between different images, whereas in 3D, you have to program in realistic movement right into the code.

E:cb woof!

thanks wolf, i needed that help. Right now I''m not thinking of actually programming it. All I''m doing now is gathering ideas and settingup the way the game will look, then I''ll worry about all that other stuff!

P.S. I don''t know how to program, but i know HTML
