It's just you. To me, it was a story-driven game - with a very well done story. I agree I would not be bothered with free ride, but to me that's like saying a chocolate bar is rubbish after you've eaten what's inside the wrapper.

Maybe they could spend more time creating a "world" you can freely interact with. But personally I find that Morrowind/Oblivion style game a little empty. I'd rather have them spend the time on a strong story, characterisation and gripping missions. From the Mafia 2 trailer, I have strong hopes they will.

My only complaints are that a few of the missions were too hard (esp. the race) and the hotel assassination/mass cop killing mission seemed jarringly out of place, both in the story and in terms of the gameplay.
