Third-person shooter
A third-person shooter is a computer game in 3-D where the camera view is outside and usually behind the main player character. This is in contrast to the in-character view of first-person shooters. Many modern FPS incorporate a optional third person view such as Mafia and others. Which title is used for a game when both views are avialable varies. Many RPGs are third-person shooters, and many other games such as flight simulators and many driving games have a third person view available.
Games in this genre include:
- American McGee's Alice
- BloodRayne
- Esoteria
- Fur Fighters
- Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.²
- Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- Heretic II
- Hitman series
- Jet Force Gemini
- Mafia
- Magic Carpet
- Max Payne
- MDK
- Oni
- Space Harrier
- Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
- Tomb Raider
