Wow... In Madden, you can run, while you can do the same in Halo, therefore Halo must be a sports simulation.

coop and multiplayer would go under the multiplayer comparison. not the FPS comparason.

Hate to break it to you, but multiplayer isn't a genre... When you 'compare' both Metroid and Halo as FPS's, you will ultimately compare each of the elements inside each game. Lets see, Metroid has compulsory auto-aim, Halo doesn't, Halo has a multiplayer, Metroid doesn't.
Now again, if someone looking into buying a game looks at the FPS genre, and gets the impression that Metroid is an FPS game, what will he think when it is compared to a pure FPS?
'Let's see, this game is an FPS, yet it has NO multiplayer, there's alot of jumping, compulsory auto-aim, aw man, this game is crap!'
If Metroid were going to be an FPS, it would suck wouldn't it?
Now if Metroid were to be placed under a whole different genre, people won't be concentrating on whether it has auto-aim or not, or if it has multiplayer deathmatches, and therefore could be appreciated as being a very good game.
