@Obliterator Metroid Prime is an Action Adventure or more specifically a First Person Action Adventure. Just because you are in a First Person point of view and shoot things doesn't make it an FPS. That is like calling Zelda a hack n slash just because you fight things with a sword. The gameplay consists of Puzzles, and Adventuring aspects much more than combat that an Action game(subgenre FPS) would. You don't switch weapons rather than upgrade them, and you also have powerups. Metroid games also were one of the first games to introduce back tracking, and that is a heavy element of Action Adventures. Also would you consider Metroid MEtroid II,Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion 2d Action games like Contra, and Metal Slug? No they are 2d Action Adventures. The only differences with Metroid Prime are that its 3d, and it is in a First Person point of view. The only FPS metroid game is Metroid Prime Hunters, and I actually don't think of it as a metroid game.
