what's the difference between on-rails shooter and objective-based shooters. Please give an answer a non-gamer like me can understand.
 


im pretty sure on rails is just one view but you can turn to see. objective is like different 1st and 3rd person views. like you can see your complete guy (3rd person) you see what his eyes see (1st person)

somebody correct me if im wrong
 
Rail shooters have a 100% chance of blowing ass.


All other shooters drop that percentage a good bit, and dived by zero.
 
Wiki link said it. If you've ever played House of the Dead on the machines at the arcade, bowling alley, skating rink, whatever, that's an on-rail shooter. Objective-based is just regular games like CoD, Mass Effect, etc, anything were you can control where you go and where and who to shoot, etc.

So object-based is more like real life?
 


On-rails doesn't let you move your character around the board. That's why they call it on rails. It's like playing a shooting game while riding on a roller coaster around the board.
 
I didn't mean lifelike really. I just meant you decide what your next move is rather than just move forward and shoot everything that pops up.
