And from the screenshots and the press release I read, it's kind of obvious to me what kind of game this is going to be. And this kind is not one that I personally would call adventure.

Okay the adventure is he can ride all over the place and I would think that is about it for the adventure side. The rest is probably him mowing people down or killing them with some weapon.
I play these kinds of games but to use the word adventure in them is a joke.

Status : Online | I think LucasArts is smart enough not to stray all that far from the Adventure genre with Full Throttle. I highly doubt this will be a game such as Emperor's Tomb. If you'll look, its called an "Adventure-Action" in the press release. I bet it'll have just as much, if not a little more action than the 1st game. I am still very hopeful. The only thing that I am really worried about is Ben's Voice. No Roy Conrad (Rest in peace), so ah!

As Ben, leader of a renegade motorcycle gang called the Polecats, players engage rough and tumble rivals in brutal high speed motorcycle combat as well as tough bar room brawls.
Sure sounds like action to me. What the h--- is "motorcycle combat" anyway? Hitting people over the head with a motorcycle?

Hitting people over the head with tire irons, chains, chainsaws, wooden planks and other assorted implements while riding a motorcycle? At least that's what Ben did in Full Throttle!
I forgot my sig.

Still adventuring after all these years!

Resistance is not futile, we're gonna win this thing, humankind is too good, we're not a bunch of under-achievers! We're gonna stand up, and we're gonna be human beings. We're going to get fired up about the real things, the things that matter! Creativity, and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit.

Please jujigatame, don't ruin the definition of an adventure game. I've just started playing outcast, and it seems like a rather fun game. But it is an ACTION/ADVENTURE and not an adventure game.
I'm really tired of this genre confusion stupid games like Tomb Raider has caused. Seriously I never expected that at the same year that GK3 was out, somebody would call Outcast the best ADVENTURE of the year.

Status : Online | Actually, most publications I read listed Outcast as an adventure game (which I would agree with, it is more adventure than action) and gave it more favorable reviews than GK3 at the time. I mean, you must realize that GK3 is not widely accepted as a great game.

Play Now
Gamecenter

PC Gamer
Game Power
Gamespot
IGN
Gameblitz
Gamespot UK

Again, I refer you to GameRankings.com, where Outcast has higher average ratings from reviewers and users.

Good lord, do you stop to think before making these assinine comments? Tomb Raider isn't nearly as much an adventure game as Outcast is. Show me the place where any of these publications calls Tomb Raider one of the greatest adventures ever. Hell, Just Adventure called it an "action/adventure" and rated it an A, which is probably as close to calling it "best adventure ever" as you'll find anywhere. Jesus, try to bring some facts with you the next time you try to discredit something. No matter what publications I listed there, you would have had the same tired response.
The fact is, lots of people didn't like GK3 that much, and more people liked Outcast than GK3. These are facts. Deal with them.
P.S. Looking more closely at the reviews page, JA gave GK3 an A and A-, and Outcast an A and A+. So in fact, even JA gave Outcast a superior review. Of course, any publication giving Outcast a better review must think Tomb Raider is the greatest adventure game of all time, right?
