Metroid Prime was classic Metroid formula in first person. Not a shooter with stuff added.

I know that's the approach they took when they designed it, obviously. I'm just saying that on paper you've got all these elements, and it's a shooter at heart. Sort of like how you can claim a band is "post-neo grindcore" or whatever the hell, but at the end of the day it's still rock.

No, it is not a FPS in any use of the term, nor is Fallout 3, nor is Portal. Metroid Prime is an adventure game, Fallout 3 and RPG, Portal a puzzle game. All three focus on each type of gameplay, you just shoot things because they are obstacles to the main gameplay types of adventuring, RPGing and puzzle solving. An actual first person shooter meanwhile has the focus being on shooting and that being the main gameplay, it isn't an obstacle to main objective, it is the main objective.

I understand what you're saying, but I can see it both ways.
