I have some noob questions :

1- What do we mean when we say 1st person shooter and 3rd person shooter ?

2- why there is only 1st and 3rd person shooter and no 2nd ?

You referring to what they did in a boss level like in Battletoads? (ack, someone beat me to it with Battletoads).

A reason why, I guess, is that it wouldn't work well for a prolonged period of time.
