Technically almost all FPS' are platformers with first-person perspectives. :)
I gotta go with EThugg on this one. The game does feature more platforming stuff than shooting stuff. Hell, Toy Story on the Genesis feature more FPS-esque stuff than JF.
In order for it to be a platformer, you have to be able to SEE THE FUCKING PLATFORMS! Eliminates 99% of FPSes.
I thought of it as an early attempt at a 3D platformer personally.Quote:

Most FPS games(almost anything past Doom) involve controlling characters that do need to jump and climb to different areas, which I define as platform gameplay.
Alright, let's not start arguing genres again. Most of them are pretty badly defined to begin with, and they tend to differ from person to person anyway.
After all, is Gunstar Heroes an action game or a platformer? Same thing would apply to Jumping Flash.
As for FPS', I can't believe I forgot about Serious Sam! Such a great friggin' game, especially with a crapload of people on a LAN with the difficulty all the way up! Best damn co-op FPS yet, far and away. Still need to hold a LAN for part 2.
Can you jump on enemies heads to kill them in GSH??? Nope. You HAVE to shoot, that makes it a shooter. JF is all about jumping... shooting was hardly ever the best or most fun *option* in JF.Quote:

It features multiple platforming segments, and most of the levels (including many of the bosses) can be beaten by throwing, kicking, or sliding.Quote:

I honestly never knew that. I always shot... I knew you could slide... but kick? Throw bosses? I gotta play it again sometime, I must've missed out on a lot. :sweat:
