MP3 isn't a FPS in my book as it doesn't have multi-player. Otherwise you could even call RE4 a FPS. I wouldn't consider Red Steel either for it's lack of online.

My order:
The Conduit
Call of Duty WAW
MOHH2

Not that The Conduit is that much above MOHH2, but I would put MOHH2 way above anything else not in the top 3 as anything else doesn't really meet the requirements of being a FPS.


Your requirements for a game being a FPS are way off.

Let's work out exactly what makes a FPS a FPS. 

It has to be in the first person and you have to shoot everything in sight.  This is what a FPS is.

HOTD Overkill



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Isn't that a rail shooter? :/

 

 

 

Anyways, The Conduit. Online is amazing.

The Conduit or Call of Duty: World at War. Metroid Prime series is pretty good also.

Yes.  Hilarious.  :p

It's closer to a FPS than Resident Evil is though.  At least it's in a first person perspective.

Im not counting Prime games as shooters, because we all know what characteristics define a traditional FPS. The characteristics arent, for the most part, found in any of the Prime games.

OP: I have to say The Conduit over CoDWaW, but just barely. TC offers better modes, more modes, better/more weapons, etc. Most importantly though, it supports WiiSpeak. The controls are also superior than CoD, as is the framerate.

Metroid, i know i know but i don't to hear it. Its a shooter.


I didn't know 2d games could be a first person shooter. Nice to not know.

Anyway, even the co-founder of metroid calls metroid prime a first person adventure. I suggest you play metroid prime 1 and 2 and throw metroid prime 3 in the garbage bag.

I wouldnt go that far, but Prime 1 & 2 are superior to MP3.
