Hmm.....suprised to see fighting not doing so well although Batman:AA was the greatest suprise that came in store for action-adventure this year so I can certainly see why it's in the lead. Keep up the voting, enjoying the variety of games ppl have found an interest in '09.

Probably because action/adventure games have no set formula like other genres.  This makes the games in the genre have more variety.  Due to having no set formula, the genre never feels stale since each game will be different from the other.  It's no suprise that action adventure games are only second behind shooters in terms of popularity.  It could even be vise versa if you consider GTA to be action adventure which it technically is.



in terms of sales.. FPS. again.

It's been a very good year for action/adventure and racing.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Action adventure, in term of quality product, we have 3 action adventure as contender for GOTY and all are top quality and very popular game.

Beat'em up come a close second for me, with the arrival of Street Fighter, BlazBlue, Tekken 6, UCF, FNR4 and even dissapointment like KOF12.
