I may be wrong, but I thought that VLR was in the same style as this game - 3D models as opposed to graphic novel-styled images.
Regardless, unfortunately I have to agree with the ultimate score. Graphics aside, the characters can feel hollow at times and the dialogue is not the best. It's hard to compare with the previous games as they are 20 hour games that I played when they first came out, but I recall them being much better about this.
Also, there is one very important twist that I'm really not fond of. While the game technically does not cheat, it's a cheap trick.
