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.
