If you would have asked me this about a year ago, I would have said thrird person hands down, but after I really got into Halo 1 and 2, and Metriod Prime 1 and 2; I'd have to agree and say first person, it really does give more of that illusion of being there.

Good question...I have to go with 1st person shooters probably b/c those games are fresher in my mind, and they definitely make you feel like you are in the game more (IMO).

1st person shooters. I don't know why but (most) 3rd person shooters just haven't been keeping pace these days. Gears of War is an AMAZING 3rd person shooter, but thats one game out of dozens of great FPSs. (Doom 3, HL2, Quake 4, Wolfenstein:ET, etc)

I prefer third person shooters because you can see most of the area around you. The only first person shooter I like is Metroid Prime. It makes the first person perspective look so real with the alien blood splashing against the visor.

I like first person, it's easier to control and to see where you're shooting.

First person shooting brings you into the game which is better for me but maybe not for some others, I know when graphics sucked third person was the way to go.

I prefer first person shooters. This is mainly due to the fact that I haven't played a single third person shooter than didn't have clunky controls and horrible game mechanics. I'm not going to name any games, but certain titles published by Ubisoft may be responsible for my opinion.

Both are different genre... Usually 1st person is more of action with a single view while 3rd person is where you can actually see your whole surrounding. Take WoW or Splinter Cell for 3rd person. As for the better part, either can be better. It's all depending on the gameplay~ XD

i like 3rd person shooters because you can see more of the terrain around you so there is less chance for being caught off guard.

I prefer first person shooters. FPS give you a better feeling of being there, plus aiming your weapons is a lot easier.
