Well, I, As Makg, think that GTA has created (or better: made popular) a sort of sub-genre of the category Action/Adventure, like many new roleplaying games did during the last period with the RPG genre. Obviously, this means that GTA won't be the only game of this type in the future, and this also means that many games could easily become more refined and original with the passing of time than GTA. The first game of a new typology of games is not necessarily the best, so we'll have to wait and see what happens, hoping there won't be mere "clones" of Grand Theft Auto, but games able to improve this new sub-genre. adding new ideas both regarding the gampeplay itself and regarding the stories in general. Also, the fact GTA is not going to be the only game of its kind could be a good way for Grand Theft Auto games' creators themselves to be forced to add novelties to their games, in order to keep on interesting the players.
