Seriously, even GTA III had a MUCH better defined atmosphere and feel than SA!
And the Riddick games were, indeed, gorgeous! In a grim as hell way, but gorgeous!
It was fun though, despite the shitty GFX, was definitely my favourite of the series.
Agreed, it was a major step forward in terms of mechanical complexity, but I couldn't shake the feeling that everything I saw was made out of plastic, y'know? Cars included.
To be fair, the "sunny California" setting and atmosphere is probably as bland and generic as it gets. It didn't give designers a lot to work with.
It's not just that, Vice City was set in Miami, I'd argue it had similar vibes/aesthetics (accounting for the difference in time and setting), and it felt significantly more cohesive and well-designed in terms of aesthetics.
