So, the core gameplay is NOT first person shooting. I can to some point understand the mistake, but you see, the type or classification of a game is not defined by its perspective or usage of in-game peripherals, it's solely defined by the leading purpose/mechanic of the game, and that (in the case of Metroid Prime), is VERY clearly exploration and puzzle solving.
