I'm assuming it's the 2d look your after?

If so then you could use an orthagonal camera .. see cameraprojmode, flag 2 I think. There are z-order issues associated though.

I'd recomment using a standard camera ... position it far away from the scene ... say 0, 0, - 10000 and then use camerazoom to zoom right in, reducing the FOV. You'll obviously have to amend the camerarange also.

Then all you need to do is move or translate the camera in the x and y direction to view the scene.
