The side missions are fine, they are very much like the ones you find in ME2, problem is, there is ONLY 6 side missions in total, ME2 had tons of side missions, I especially loved the "hidden" side missions wich you could only find if you scanned a planet and found a white dot, sort of like the silly "overhear conversation, grab a thingy, return to the citadel" in ME3, you actually got a fully fleshed out side mission with paragon / renegade choices and alittle story around them.
Also had a few "chain quests" like the blue suns side missions that ends with the hijacked spaceship.
Feels like they had to cut alot of stuff out due to the short development time compared to the two games prior.
And honestly, might be abit harsh, but ME3 feels like what an expansion would be like 6-8years ago, content wise and not to mention the extremely similar gameplay mechanics with some updates etc. Best comparison I could think is what The Frozen Throne was to Reign of Chaos (Warcraft 3 Expansion).
Come to think of it, most "3s" thats come out the last few years has felt like expansions with minor tweaks here and there with a few new things added in and the continuation of the story, add some pretty graphics in aswell.
