There is nothing wrong with linear games. It is a different kind of game. I don't know where it started, maybe Zelda games, but open world games are very popular too. I like them a lot.
I did finish Vice City. I even got so obessesive with it that I had to do the 100%, you know, main and side quests. But the story is what keeps you going and there is a feeling of emptyness when you finish the story. Nevertheless I did everything in Vice City, maybe because it was my first GTA game or maybe because the gameplay. The story of that game wasn't very strong. A little cartoonish, but it was funny in its own manner. I remember that vey soon in the game I thought "this story based on "Scarface". Some people may say it is a rip off. The 80's, Miami, etc. And then some other studio did Scarface the game as GTA clone, not as succesful I am afraid.
GTA IV, I don't know what is it exactly, but I didn't like very much. I may develop my point later if I ever get to understand what happened to myself playing that game.
