Look... it is an FPS, there is no doubt about it, an FPS has a first person view and shooting.
FPS however is not really a proper genre of game.... so most of what we call FPS are really just action games, same for TPS and hack and slash. This is something people complain about the HD twins line up, most of the games are very similar.... a response is to split them into TPS and FPS as if suddenly the games are wildly different, but they are not.
Metroid Prime 3 is an FPS... but it is not an action FPS, but and Adventure FPS.... If it were third person, It would be more like Zelda and less like God of War.
