✓ Same family of open-world action games: adventure storytelling, shooter and deep simulation

≠ Stands apart with third-person shooting, racing gameplay and ranged combat, while skipping first-person shooting

The one that established the template: a 3D open city with radio stations, missions on call and free roaming between them. Historically it matters enormously. It has aged the hardest of the era — no mission checkpoints, no map markers for much of it, a silent protagonist, and shooting that amounts to auto-aim and hoping.

Where it drifts furthest from Skin Deep: visuals and combat.

It predates Skin Deep by 24 years, with what that implies technically.

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

≠ Stands apart with racing gameplay, third-person shooting and ranged combat, while skipping deep simulation

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.

≠ Stands apart with third-person shooting, racing gameplay and puzzle design, while skipping first-person shooting

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.
