Call of Juarez is an epic adventure western themed FPS game. The player alternately assumes the roles of two distinct, antagonistic characters: a sneaking fugitive Billy and his hunter the reverend Ray.
Is there a name for games where you shoot but don’t control the movement?
Its a rail shooter, games like House of the Dead, Time Crisis, or any other run-of-the-mill arcade shooter you’d find atChuck E Cheese. Fable also had a rail shooter, as well as Dead Space on the Wii.

This post is odd because you’re talking about on-rails shooters but Call of Juarez is not one of them (it’s an FPS).
Its a rail shooter, games like House of the Dead, Time Crisis, or any other run-of-the-mill arcade shooter you’d find atChuck E Cheese. Fable also had a rail shooter, as well as Dead Space on the Wii.
Don’t forget typing of the dead! A true classic.
Maybe a bit of a forgotten genre, but there were some absolute classics like the Panzer Dragoon series.
The genre had a small resurgence on VR, hand controllers work well for them

The on-rails style reminds me of games like Time Crisis. Ah, the memories.
My favorite was Deadly Tide - not an arcade game but on oldschool windows PC, had like 8 discs or something.
On-rails shooters?
Oh, exactly! Thank you! :)
