• Third Person
• First/Third Person (the game allows players to toggle between the two views at will)
• Top-down
• Isometric/2.5D (similar to top-down, but with the camera set at an angle to provide the appearance of a 3D environment)
• 2D (distinct from top-down, usually with a view from the side)
