What happened after GTA 3...
GTA: San Andreas
Vice City won many Game of the Year awards, it set a really high standard, and the next game had to be better. That next game was bigger in every sense of the word: it included a state called San Andreas, with three major cities. It was designed so that the player would be roaming all the cities for missions and side-quests. 
CJ used to live in Liberty City; back home in the city of Los Santos resides his family and gang. He comes back to his gang in a really bad shape courtesy rival gangs and the police. He takes charge and decides to get his gang back to glory.
There were many RPG elements to San Andreas, like the attributes given to the main character. You could make CJ a fit and fine guy with high agility, or you could make him really fat and slow. There were tons of customizable options; there were many vehicles, as well as jets that CJ could fly. You could use a jetpack, and for the first time, you could swim in a GTA game.
The game was a major success and sold millions of copies; it set the benchmark even higher for the GTA series.

The name of the protagonist in GTA: Vice City was Tommy, not Tony.

"Vice City had a main plotline, but it had loads of side-quests as well -- there were collectibles, assassination missions, taxi missions, and the cheats made the game just crazy. I remember using a tank and destroying half the city. Like in the previous games, you had a "Wanted" meter that would alert the police -- and the Army if required! One way you could avoid the police was by changing your car's color at a paint shop. There were stunt locations where you could ride one of the many bikes or cars and earn points. (One of my favorite locations was the Malibu Club; you could easily find a car there to perform your stunts.)" -- Everything that is mentioned here was in previous GTA versions. Car Stunts were in GTA3 and everything else (paintshop to avoid police, tank mission, taxi missions etc) mentioned in GTA 1 and 2 also!!!
