  Action-adventure game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Action-adventure games are video games that combine elements of the adventure game genre with various action elements.
In action-adventure games, while reflex-based actions are required (often revolving around combat or the avoidance thereof), the gameplay still follows a number of adventure game genre tropes (gathering items, exploration of and interaction with one's environment, and puzzle-solving).
The term "action adventure" itself has become more generalised since its introduction, and can now be used to refer to virtually any game which combines elements of reflex-based play with some element of problem-solving.

 Action Vault - Call of Duty Interview
The game's 24 single-player missions will range from dropping behind enemy lines on D-Day to rescuing prisoners of war, capturing and holding a critical bridge, going undercover to sabotage a battleship, sniping, ambushes and more, with multiplayer action for up to 32 as well.
In addition, we also have a number of locations that are accurate recreations of well known World War II movies, such as the chateau from the Dirty Dozen, the Stalingrad river front from Enemy at the Gates, the bus chase from Where Eagles Dare, the prison camp from The Great Escape...
Although we have some stealth-oriented moments in the game, they are used to develop pre-battle suspense as opposed to imposing the traditional 'don't let the AI see you or else' game mechanic on the player.

There are a lot of reasons to love this game, from the expandability and customizability to its mass appeal.
But the sequel has more for gamers to sink their teeth into than the original: sims have a constantly changing set of goals and a limited time to accomplish everything before they kick the bucket from old age.
Here at GameSpy many of us don't play games to lose, but it's worth pointing out that the 'failure states' of sims who are having serious life issues are perhaps the best part of the game.
