| | First-person shooter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A first-person shooter (FPS) is a combat computer or video game where the player's on-screen view of the game world simulates that of the character. | | | The first-person shooter can be considered a sub-genre of shooter games, though almost all other two dimensional shooter games, especially shoot'em ups, are more concerned with the gameplay mechanic of dodging than of precise aiming. | | | Many third-person shooters (where the player sees the game world from a viewpoint above and behind the main character) are commonly treated as first-person shooters, due to similarities in gameplay. |

| | Third-person shooter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A third-person shooter is a genre of 3D video games where the camera view is outside and thought of as usually being behind the main player character, its name chosen for the number of third-person video games whose gameplay is derivative of first-person shooters. | | | See Category:Third-person shooters for a list of games that fall into either of these categories, though it is far from complete. | | | A number of shooters, including The Suffering, bridge the gap between first-person shooters and this kind of game by offering either first- or third-person cameras. |

| | Halfbakery: 2nd Person Shooter |
| | In a 2nd person shooter video game, the player would control the guns, but see the action from the perspective of the person (monster?) he or she is shooting. | | | But the whole point of me saying this is that, as the opponent is catching on fire, you see it from a third person perspective, but you are actually seeing it from second person, but it is played out in third. | | | My idea for a cool 2nd person shooter (SPS) is that it is played as a third person shooter (TPS), but when you hit someone, it reverts into a 2nd person view, where the camera is located slightly behind the target and you see them being shot. |

| | Van Helsing Xbox Review |
| | Van Helsing is your typical third person shooter, it doesn’t do much innovative, but it’s a solid game, and it’s pretty fun to play, which is the goal of any game. | | | Sure, it’s not the best licensed game on Xbox, nor is it the best third person shooter game, but it is a good game, and it is fun to play. | | | In the early parts of the game, Van Helsing is a typical third person shooter, where you kill everything you see, and flip a switch or two. |

| | The Stranger - Film - Games - The Clunky Hombre |
| | Every third-person shooter is built upon hordes of enemies, and the less precise control you have over your gunman the more the poor bastard is going to be pummeled. | | | The last third-person shooter I've come across that was great to play was Lucas-Arts' Armed and Dangerous, a game weak on graphics but vastly entertaining and blessed with an engaging story. | | | Visually it is startling--inspired by spaghetti Westerns, it's scratched and grainy like an old film--but this aesthetic is tarnished by poor game play and design. |

| | Whereas one would expect to find a relative degree of depth and personality amongst the entire cast, the story does little to get the player involved or interested as to what Brute Force is all about. | | | The essence of the game is focused on team-based combat, featuring unique weapons and special abilities. | | | Unfortunately, linear level design and weak story elements pull down the game and prevent it from becoming a potentially fulfilling title. |

| | The squad consists of four unique soldiers, each with his or her own distinct personalities, strengths and weaknesses: Flint is a cyborg whose skill as a Sniper is without equal. | | | This game has all the hallmarks of a great shooter, with a definite chance of being an instant classic. | | | For example, unless you order them to do otherwise, Tex and Brutus tend to go charging straight in with guns afire, while Hawk and Flint will look for a less direct approach. |

| | Yeah man First person shooter games is where the good games are. | | | for pc games, in my opinion, first person shooters are the way to go, well, if you want a shooter that is. third person games are really more for games that have more story than action, and therefore don't really require a whole lot of aiming and what not. | | | I still can't wait to play DOOM 3, which is a first person game. |

| | I have enjoyed each first person shooter from the Star Wars franchise, and I am very happy they took this into a third person turn based co-op gaming engine. | | | Well, a turn based third person engine is the BEST way of making this happen. | | | This is a brilliant area of gameplay and deserves a much-needed level of personal documentation (the fun kind). |

| | Unique to the genre maybe, but unique to gaming in general I would have to say no. This style of third person action shooter was seen most recently in Grand Theft Auto. | | | Granted, there have been other “near future” shooters in the past, for example: any number of games under the Tom Clancy franchise, but Mercenaries truly manages to come across with something new and unique. | | | The group at Pandemic Studios has taken away from GTA that feeling of non-linear gameplay, an arsenal of weapons including those meant to entertain, the ability to pick and choose your method of transportation, and of course the most important — the mayhem that has become Mercenaries’ signature. |
