POP belongs to an Action/Adventure genre & something similar on the lines would be Tomb Raider series which involves the same elements only that it has a bootilicous babe instead of the Dark Prince & well she for sure won't be having a sword so you would have to let do with the usual gun fights.
NFS series has a lot of clones but none match up to it's legacy.The recent that I could consider a excellent competitor would be Test Drive Unlimited.The graphics of which are jaw droppingly realistic.Then there would be burnout series which is way more fun than NFS but it's only that the game is on the console only platform for now(PS2
).
