Interesting points.

I wonder if the 360 degree view is really a requirement for a first person 
adventure then.

Many of the Myst series of adventure games are definitely first person 
perspective but do not have 360 degree rotation / view in the game. I.E. You 
may turn right or left and then a different still image will be shown. So the 
degree of rotation really depends on what scenes are available from any 
particular vantage point in the game. There is certainly not anywhere near a 
360 degree view though, even when many scenes are available.

As you may know, the Myst series of games are most definitely adventure type 
games rather than shooters as there is actually no combat at all in them, in 
favor of exploration / puzzle-solving / mystery solving.

I personally equate a 360 degree view with first person shooters rather than 
adventure games. So is 360 degree view really a requirement for a first person 
adventure?

Great topic! :)

Cheers!

Hi Tom.

I'd disagree that Shades of doom is a first person adventure, on audiogames.net 
it's classified as a first person shooter on the basis of the high amount of 
fast action sequences, sinse though you do have puzzles and mazelike levels, 
there are lots and lots of monsters after you and an arsonal of weapons to 
defeat them with.

"adventure games" I always assume have less of an action focus and are more 
about the puzzles, the exploring etc.

Indeed, this is why I decided to classify terraformers as a first person 
adventure, sinse though you do have a gun and shoot a couple of robots, you 
spend more of your time solving puzzles and the entire game plays more slowly.

Beware the grue!
