Thats what I like to see.

A JAT that does my work for me :)

LOL

fair enough, i suppose it is each person perogative in the end.
i still class it as an adventure due to running about etc.

but, no more arguing, we are all right in our own special ways!
although i may be more "special" than you.

lol

err...it was just lots of jumping but in 3D.


The thing is, there isn't really an Adventure genre. Theres Platform/Adventure games like Banjo, and RPG/Adventure games like Zelda.

Back in the 2D days it was easy to define, but ever since things have been done in 3D it seems like more of an adventure, because you don't just run in one direction and jump, you can run in any direction and jump.

Still a platformer though.

Mario 64 is just as much a platform game as the Super Mario Bros and Super Mario World series'.

The only difference is the perspective.

notice i said Mario 64!
it is not as such a platformer

i have always classed platformers as side scrolling games with lots of jumps and tings.

not a 3D environment where you get to explore large areas.
Mario 64 and banjo kazooie are both of the above, huge levels and 3D approach

errm...I don't know where you've been mate, but (traditional) Mario games have always been platformers.

Platform games involve lots of presicion jumping and stuff. How many jumps did you make in Zelda?

I'm sorry, but if Banjo-Kazzooie isn't a platform game then what the hell is?

No he is right Donkey Kong and Banjo are platformers... yet platformers are also placed in the larger ADVENTURE genre.

Mario is a platformer, a platformer are games that emphasies on jumping.

Zelda doesn't, Zelda is an adventure game, a true one.

if you class them as platformers your also classing Zelda and Mario 64 as platformers aswell

same view point on the game and also the same ideas for gameplay
