I'm a little confused about the reluctance to identify Uncharted as a shooter. It's linear and its gameplay is oriented around taking cover and shooting enemies. There are a handful of puzzles to solve and treasures to find, but these are completely tangential to the core game experience, which is shooting.


Would you call Metroid Prime a FPS?

I would call Metroid Prime an action-adventure because the gameplay is oriented around exploration, combat, data collection, and problem solving. Most of the action in Metroid Prime is dedicated to shooting enemies, yes, but large sections of the game are dedicated to exploration and backtracking, problem solving, and reading logs.

The adventure elements in Metroid Prime are not tangential to the core gaming experience, as they are in Uncharted; instead, they are deeply and irrevocably tied to the game's foundation.
