What's more, you explore it all from the point of view of a cabbie who slowly turns into a Mafia goon as the game progresses.

It's got violence, history, varied missions, an enormous city to explore and production values that haven't been trumped. Vehicles are slow and handle badly hence accurately , the streets feel alive and it's fiendishly tough. The story is well told in flashback and, if that bores you, there's two Free Ride inodes so you can just explore the authentic-looking city of Lost Heaven.
