Actually I found the entire game to be linear. Yes there are side missions but you have to do them before certain priority missions or you lose the opportunity to complete them. In many cases this made no sense because the given priority mission should relaistically taken precedence over a side mission that only benefits one person's desires. I also agree about the replay value. While I did spend quite a bit of time playing multiplayer after I beat ME3 I have yet to do another playthrough. It's not because of the ending it's just because in general I just didn't enjoy the game as whole the way I did ME2. I'm not saying it was horrible game but it certainly fell very short of what I was expecting for the grand finale. I was disappointed with a lot of the technical issues of the game that should have not evevn been a problem. The game is very glitchy and I find that to be inexscusable when you consider that this was not a problem in the first two games.
