GTA Style Games (PS2)

Well, I'm looking for a new PS2 game, but i can't seem to find one with a similar comparison to the Grand Theft Auto series. I enjoyed San Andreas, but I want a change. Can anybody advise me any games that are similar to GTA games which are worth getting? (Going in gyms, shops, stealing cars, missions, buying things from shops etc) Many thanks, reputation will be added.

EDIT: SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR LATEST NEEDS AND INFORMATION I NEED. (SCARFACE/THE WARRIORS I HAVE CHOSEN AND I NEED GOOD POINTS AND BAD POINTS, IF ANY, FOR THEM)

i can only think of.

true crime: streets of LA
driv3r

that bully game kinda is?

Off topic- YEY NOTTINGHAM

Hmm, I have driv3r and that Bully game is supposed to be rubbish. Thanks you two, I'll look up Bully and True Crime on ign.com (+rep)

the getaway: black monday
the godfather

Bully/Bullworth high is a GREAT game and it ain't crap... get it mate it's well good. and have you got the warriors

Thanks all. (Reputation added) So can you go into shops and stuff and go and buy things from shops on the following games:

The Godfather
Scarface
True Crime Streets Of LA
The Warriors
The Getaway: Black Monday

Mate, just go outside and do everything in GTA in real life, it happens in Nottingham every day. x]
