Keep in mind that I have not read the other responses yet because I am a lazy bastard.

Buttt... I think it really depends on what 2 dimensions you are talking about. For instance lets say our 2D person has Y and X (height and width). They could therefore see in 3D even though they are 2D because their eyes would both be X units apart. So a 3D world would look normal to a 2D person of that type. If the person was Y and Z and had no width, they would either see in 2 dimensions or see nothing at all because there is no width for the eyes.
Again, for the 2d person in the 2d world it depends on the orientation of the 2D world. It should look 2D because they exist in the same realm but the problem here is that this cannot exist in the first place. Owell.. just my 2 cents in 1 minute.

Cheers,
