But when the game got a sequel and had a chance to grow into its own personality it was a beauty to behold. It felt like it was trying too hard to emulate something it wasn't meant to be. The main problem, to me, is that it didn't have much character. When the first game came out I didn't look at it as much more than a Grand Theft Auto knockoff, and after trying it out for myself years later my suspicions were mostly confirmed.
