while I agree that mass effect, and in particular uncharted are 2 linear games.
There are different Classes in Mass Effect so, yes you have to kill everything, but you can kill in different ways. Like being a vanguard is quite a bit different than being an infiltrator, or soldier.
Would I like uncharted more if it was less linear? I don't think so, Despite my initial thought that it is trying to be tomb raider which has (Bigger Levels, Less Setpieces, better puzzles). I've changed that mindset. It's trying to be like a movie much like heavy rain, only with guns. And it does that better than any other videogame. And I think less linear makes what it's trying to do much more difficult.
I do think less linear is ideal. But, the amount of resources required. Seems Higher. Also, less linear games have more problems with scripting glitches, and ai, graphics. Oblivion, Fallout, Grand Theft Auto, Deus Ex have some of those problems in some combination. Even in valkryia chronciles theres certain ways to abuse the ai. Granted some of them, are extremely entertaining.
