Raycasting is the only way to obtain a 3D appearance on the Zune unless you use the Might & Magics screen method (which isn't very suitable for a FPS).

So far raycasted 3D environments have been running sluggishly on the Zune with the exception of Gold Chase (which doesn't have free movement). Adding more detail would the game run even slower.

I would suggest making a Wolfenstein 3D clone. The simplistic grid design and lack of textured ceilings and floors allow for the game to run faster. I'm not promising it will be fast enough though. Personally, I believe that a game with bad graphics that runs at full speed over a game with good graphics that runs sluggishly.
+1 Internet points to you.
