✓ Same family of open-world action games: adventure storytelling, shooter and third-person shooting

≠ Stands apart with racing gameplay, first-person shooting and sandbox freedom, while skipping survival mechanics

The largest of the PS2-era entries by a distance: three cities, countryside between them, and systems the series never repeated — stat training, gang territory, vehicle variety from bikes to planes. It is also the most uneven. Mission difficulty spikes without warning, and the RPG-ish stat grind sits oddly against the pace of everything else.

It predates Metal Gear Survive by 14 years, with what that implies technically.

≠ Stands apart with racing gameplay, sandbox freedom and puzzle design, while skipping survival mechanics

Tighter and more focused than the open worlds that followed it, with a compact city you learn by heart rather than by map marker. Driving carries most of the game. The shooting has aged badly — no proper cover, stiff aiming — and missions restart from the beginning, which turns a late failure into a long redo.

Where it drifts furthest from Metal Gear Survive: progression and combat.

It predates Metal Gear Survive by 16 years, with what that implies technically.
