I assume by "rail shooter" you mean the game's weapons are all direct fire beams like the gauss rifle (aka RAIL GUN), which is incorrect since LRMS can arc over walls and a tremendus amount of the beam weapons will auto-track targets when you fire on anything in your reticle. Unless you actually mean that it's a linear game, in which case you just need to more thoroughly douche your baby vent.

Any genre is fine except rail shooter and educational


Erik's review of Slave Zero wrote:

At a glance, Slave Zero's most attractive feature is that it lets you play as a towering monster on a rampage through a city. Unfortunately, while your Slave (Slave Zero-speak for Mech) is ten times larger than the average human, the city you get to rampage through is twenty times taller and denser than Tokyo. Similar-looking, brightly-lit skyscrapers stretch far into the sky, completely blocking the view of your surroundings. You're dwarfed by the architecture and therefore end up feeling about as monstrously giant as you would lumbering around your own hometown on your own two feet.


Same thing with Mechassault 1. Replace skyscrapers with "Canyon ridges that are always juuust to slippery to jump jet over." Without hugeness or customization all you get is a 3rd person corridor shooter on rails with a mechwarrior skin pack.
