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
• Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.²
• Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
• Heretic II
• Hitman series
• Mafia
• Magic Carpet
• Max Payne
• MDK
• Oni
• Space Harrier
• Tomb Raider
