You see, that's the problem I have with it, which is what I'd say
makes it lacking as a game. It's still good, and the scale of the map
is great, but it has that slight Spider-Man-2-ness to it because of
the crappy missions it has at times. And the implementation of
territories/gang-wars was just awful - i.e. they're like rampages in
the other games, but there are twice as many, you get constantly
nagged about them, and you have to buy your own ammo. Ugh.

Also, you seeing GTA:SA as a classic (despite the flaws) when you
won't give Shenmue 2 a chance = amazingness factor 248. :-)
