I skipped it on the gamecube.Maybe because I was 11? I dont know...FPS didn't grab my attention back then.

 

 It's not a first person shooter.  It's a first person adventure with shooting elements.

Exactly...It fits more into the category of FPS then action-adventure.

 

Metroid Prime is not a shooter.  There are more than just shooting in Metroid Prime, there are elements like Morph Ball mazes, platform jumping, and puzzle solving.  And I say these elements are more than 50% of the gameplay experience.

 

Your first sentence contradicts your second...Take a look yourself.

Once again, I'm going to say that it's a first-person adventure game with shooting elements.  It's kinda like how Zelda is a third-person adventure with RPG elements.  Also I played this game less than 48 hours ago so I doubt I need a gamespot review.

 

The sentence in bold proves that indeed it is a FPS. Secondly do you recall me saying anything about it just been FPS?Yes your right, I'm wrong including Gamespot.

 

Yes, you and Gamespot are wrong.  It's not a FPS.  This has been substantiated for years.   Gamespot simply doesn't have a FPA category in their CMS.

 

By your accounts, Duck Hunt is a FPS.

 

Take a look at the bold. By your account Wikipedia is wrong, Ign is wrong, etc...

 

 

I know you didn't say it was JUST a FPS but you can't call it a FPS just because it shares some elements of the genre.   

I'm make it simple for you, I'm in the media and when Shiggy and Retro Studios tell me it's a FPA, it's an FPA.

 

You also might want to check Wikipedia and IGN again.  They call the series a FPA, not FPS.
