A third person shooter game is one where the main aim of the game is to shoot or destroy the opposition (which will either be controlled by other online players or by the software itself). It differs from a first person shooter only in that you are looking down on the character you control (i.e. you can see your avatar on-screen) rather than viewing from the perspective of the avatar itself (as if you are viewing from its eyes). 6, record 2, English, - third%20person%20shooter%20game
