Mmm, you gotta wonder if a game that has a minigame that focuses on a different type of gameplay or a game that is simply a collection of minigames would fall into "multiple genres". It really just doesn't seem to be the same thing to me.

I was thinking the same thing but about the Die Hard Trilogy game for PS1/Saturn. It has a 3rd person shooter, 1st person on rails shooter and a driving game split up amongst 'separate' games however (at least to my knowledge) they were never published individually.

How about Knights in the Nightmare on the DS/PSP. This game is pretty much 4 genres in 1. It is a:

-SRPG
-Turn Based RPG
-Bullet Hell
-RTS

^^This along with a very interesting story, cool artwork and an amazing soundtrack and you've got one of the best and most unique games on the system IMO. If you can get your hands on it, give it a try.

Seconded. Knights In The Nightmare is amazing. Go with the DS version is you can, the PSP port has very frequent, very long loading times.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention RKA in my original post. It never gets stale or boring, every section of the game feels different and has some new gameplay gimmick.

I'll mention Deus Ex for the second time, because no one else mentioned it! :)
