Is the game always so linear or once you become the main character does it become more free roam/side missions type of game?

Yep, after you change characters, you have a few missions that you pretty much have to play, then it goes completely open-world.
My advice? For every main mission you play, play one or two side missions. You'll figure that out on your own but it's really easy to just play right through the main mission.
