This.
Final Fantasy XIII was a prime example. Its problem wasn't that it was linear, it was that the combat system progressed at a snails pace and the game had you run forward through massive locations for 2 hours straight without doing anything but clearing out foes.
Poorly designed levels and progress =/= linear
Mario Galaxy is probably one of the most linear Mario games yet is the most highly rated
