Cool factor. You could "easily" do a flash game in 2D. (It's been done for 2006 and started for 2007.) But it just looks cooler to have it 3D. Plus, I think if you wanted to have much of a chance later at developing further, you'd almost have to go 3D.

By the way, 1535's simulator is a pretty good start, but could be improved with an option to drive the other way (omni in back, not front). They also have a pretty big to-do list. If they needed help, could CDers provide it?
