I've been playing a lot of Ratchet & Clank on the PS2 lately, and in that game the camera follows the character, but it doesn't rotate with it (there is a button to reset the camera in the viewing direction).
It took some time to get use to it, but after that I really liked it; since you don't have to worry about steering the camera to much, you can fully concentrate on firing, switching between weapons etc. For a first person shooter I would really need a mouse to control the view and aim, but in this case it worked really well for me.

Have you never player one of the Gothic(tm) series? ;)

Movement with WASD (or similar) and look around with the mouse. Plays very well :-)

nö :)

That looks nice too, I'll look into it. But as I targeting PCs, I'll stick with the mouselook.
