Come now. On-rails almost always means you are limited to almost zero control on character movement. Mostly aiming and shooting only. Eg. Time Crisis. Dead Space Extraction.
Linear mean the path is fixed, but you are in complete control of your character's movements.
But to be fair to Slimebeast, "on-rails" has become a term used to mock games for their excessive linear nature. eg Call Of Duty and Killzone
