Basically my friend and i got into an arguement over the genre of uncharted i think its more of a action/adventure game where as he says its a tps. I know there are gun fights but theres also alot of running around exploring etc so what do you think?

BTW: i am the one who clicked see results so that i havent been biased

It's a dual genre, both TPS (because of online) and Action/Adventure (because of the campaign).

Action/Adventure. Too much running, jumping, climbing, fist fights, and sneaking to be called a third person shooter.

To label it strictly a shooter is wrong. The platforming aspect of the game is just as important as the shooting. In fact I'd even say the platforming defines Uncharted more than the shooting.

When people think back on Uncharted, they're going to think of the platforming sections more than the shooting sections. Scaling the train on locomotion, Jumping from truck to truck in convey, climbing that long sword statue, jumping out of the collapsing building, etc are all defining moments in the Uncharted series. Probably more important than any shooting scenes in the game. Definitely as important as the shooting scenes.

Even if you don't believe the platforming is more important than the shooting, which it is, you can't deny that the platforming defines Uncharted just as much as the shooting. Therefore, when labelling the game a genre, you should NOT leave out platforming.

It's a platforming shooter, or a shooting platformer. Take your pick.

Im glad someone see things my way :)

you think it is TPS because of an online component?? That is interesting because even the online component had a good amount of climbing and jumping. What would you classify the original Uncharted and upcoming Vita game? Hell what about AC Brotherhood & Revelations

In online mode there is no adventure elements, it's purely a competitive shooter game on that mode. This is what I love about the Uncharted series it always has the best campaings of any games and a unique online mode.
