I can't say that it is terrible. But, it is quite linear.

lin·e·ar, adj.
1. Of, relating to, or resembling a line; straight.
2. In, of, describing, described by, or related to a straight line.
3. Having only one dimension.
4. Characterized by, composed of, or emphasizing drawn lines rather than painterly effects.
5. Botany. Narrow and elongated with nearly parallel margins: a linear leaf.

But in this case, he means that there aren't very many options that you can choose from. It's always just 'Get more intelligence, become CEO, buy a castle with everything in it, beef up your other stats, become President or Dictator, become rich, and post a screenie of your end-game stats like all the rest of the idiots on the forums.' :D

When you think about it, it really is quite linear... I mean, there are lots of things you can do, but only one real path through the game.
