By your logic, Metroid for SNES is a 3rd person Shooter... but due to the fact that it lacks action like that, it's an Adventure game.
is Metroid an RPG because you play the Role of Samus? Is it a fighting game because you fight enymys?
in the words of Macho Man "What it is, is what it is" and what it is, is an Adventure game... just because the camera is in 1st person it doesn't make it a FPS. Because it's not a shooting game to begin with. Halo you run around to shot and kill, Goldeneye you run around to shoot and kill, and in metroid you are exploring.
if Halo was in third person... you run around to shoot and kill, if Goldeneye was in this person.... you run around to shoot and kill.... if Metroid were in third person (which it was) you are still just exploring.
is Metal Gear Solid a shooting game just because you can use a gun? No, it's a lot more than that, same with Metroid.
