    1st person is as though you are looking through the characters eyes, 3rd person is looking from over the shoulder, showing the whole body. My personal preference is 1st person shooters. Never heard of 2nd person perspective.

    It is just like a book. Yeah who hears of them anymore. Anyway 1st person is when you are viewing it from the perspective of the character. A third person shooter views from a distance. You would see the person you are being. As to 2nd person, there is no such thing as a 2nd person shooter and don't even get me started on that definition because that just gets confusing.

    the 1 with the gun is first person

    the whole body is third person..

    in some games is possible to change between 1 st and 3 rd person, medal of honor is 1st person

    socom (i liked) is 3 rd. i dont like 1 st person games because you need to turn around to see where the enemy is. and sometimes is to late you are already dead.

    The "floating gun" is a first person shooter. You're the person behind the gun, and it's supposed to be "realistic".

    The games that let you control a character onscreen are third person.

    Second person only exists in writing, and it's a piece of literature in which the writer uses the word "you" referring to the reader. The writer never references themselves.

    First person shooter is when you move around with the gun looking for enemies.

    Second person shooter is when you are locked in a position and shoot at targets.

    Third person shooter is when you build your gears and position them to auto fire like in strategy games.

    FPS: MC5: BLACKOUT

    SPS: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

    TPS: AGE OF SPARTAN

    Note... all games listed are from the windowsphone store

    first person is looking through the eyes of the player. third person is behind the player and second person is when you are watching someone else play by there screen.
