Metroid Prime really isn't an FPS, Nintendo dubbed it "First Person Adventure" due to how much exploring you do vs shooting. The controls aren't like console FPSes either, and there is no reliance on precise aiming. For me, Metroid Prime was one of the first games I could point to for a classic game making the 3D jump properly.

Now Metroid Prime 3 is a bit different on the Wii for controls, and I haven't put enough time into it to really judge it either way. I can at least highly recommend picking up the first Metroid Prime and giving it a shot.
