Pokemon Snap was very much a game in every sense of the word. You
moved on rails through a landscape, and FPS-style clicked on
creatures that popped up tring to center them in the screen as best
as possible. You were awarded points based on the "quality of
composition" of your picture. It was very difficult to catch all the
creatures that popped up, and you were always trying to get a better
shot. This core mechanic was then wrapped around a standard game of
collecting things.
