I don't consider this an on-rails game as you can move your character across the screen as well as your target. It strikes me as being a shoot 'em up.

That's actually the correct definition of a rail-shooter: games like House of the Dead are more "properly" called "light-gun" games, while titles like this, Starfox, Panzer Dragoon, etc. are "rail shooters."
