As in, it's a driving game. When driving, there isn't really another dimension. You're still driving on the same 2d ground surface! The "new dimension" in GTA has a huge affect on the out-of-car stuff, but relatively little effect on the driving part, which is most of the game. Outside of how it looks of course.
Micro Machines went from 2d to 3d with virtually no gameplay impact, for instance. Indeed, Micro Machines V3 was effectively ported to GBC... Yes, the game stayed top-down, while GTA moved the perspective. Which is where the comparison to Jedi Knight comes in -- the perspective change is as much mental (mostly in the player's head) as anything.
Yes, GTA3 is looks and feels quite different. But the underlying gameplay is the same, just about, and that shouldn't just be ignored...
