I've always had a beef with calling it an FPS as well. You're primarily exploring and solving puzzles, shooting is kind of used in the same way attacking things with swords is used in Zelda and it's not really the main focus of the game.

It's more like first person action adventure.

A first person adventure-shooter?

Sounds about right.

exactly. The shooting was really uncomfortable too, having to jam that L trigger down hard over and over.

Well, I haven't played the first two games, but the controls and shooting feel really great on the Wii. Probably the most intuitive controls I've ever used.
