Benoit's right, actually; a first-person shooter differs from a shoot 'em up, in the same sense that a fighting game differs from a beat 'em all. In the case of a first-person shooter, as Benoit already mentioned, you are playing the game while looking through the eyes of the character--seeing exactly what he or she would see (hence the term 'first-person'), whereas, in the case of a shoot 'em up, you are taking control of the ship or the character in third-person perspective; looking across to, or down upon who or what you're controlling. Now, in the case of a fighting game, you're taking control of a character of your choice--from a selection of multiple characters, and putting him or her up against others, one-by-one, in a 'tournament-style' setting, whereas, in the case of a beat 'em all, you, generally, only get to choose out of a very limited number of characters--who you then take through different stages, beating/hacking up everything in your path, in third-person perspective. Here are some exmaples to help give you a better understanding of the genres...<p>First-Person Shooter - Doom, Heretic, Medal of Honor, Halo<p>Shoot 'em Up - Rez, R-type, Vapor Trail, Ikaruga<p>and then...<p>Fighting - Street Fighter, Tekken, Dead Or Alive, Mortal Kombat<p>Beat 'em All - Streets Of Rage, Fighting Force, Golden Axe, Ninja Gaiden(Genesis version)

What elements, that would identify Medal of Honour: Allied Assault as a shoot 'em up--as opposed to a first-person shooter--does the game feature, according to the definition of the genre?<br>

[Prince Noah]

Get it for yourself, and you'll see that I'm right. :p <br>By the way, it is FPV, but it's STILL shoot em up because you shoot terrorists. :p <p>[size=small][Edit by Prince Noah on [TIME]1085872983[/TIME]][/size]

<blockquote>Get it for yourself, and you'll see that I'm right. :p[/quote] <br>The statements you've made with regards to the game's genre, thus far, have been contradictory to every one of the reviews and screenshots I've read and seen, across the net--which, I might add, were typed up and taken by several others who have experienced the game, first-hand.<p>[quote]By the way, it is FPV, but it's STILL shoot em up because you shoot terrorists. :p</blockquote><br>Controlling the character from a first-person perspective, where the action consists of shooting? The two elements you've just mentioned, right there, point directly to the first-person shooter genre. For MoH:AA to identify as a shoot 'em up, it would have to contain some or all of the following elements:<br>- annihilation of enemies from a third-person perspective<br>- control limited to the player's 2-D position on the screen<br>- auto-movement throughout levels at a (mostly) fixed speed<br>- direction fixed with limited flexibility in the case of forward-based motion

MoH:AA is cool, but the Breakthrough expansion makes it so much better!!!<p>But over all, Call of Duty is the best!<p>As for the shoot 'em up Vs. FPS: I think shoot 'em up is a bad name to use. The games like R-Type, Vapor Trail, Whip Rush, and Gaiares are/were always in the genre of SHOOTERS.

Haha, is that so? I beat MOHAA on Easy, now I'm gonna try Modorate and see how far I get. Though the level with Omaha beach or whatever it's called is super hard. I wish I had the sniper rifle in that one. <p>(You terorrists are in BIG trouble when I got the sniper rifle )
