I know it’s not what you asked for, but I remember a couple of years ago someone making a game heavily inspired by GTA 2. Never got around to playing it myself, but it looked good.

Can’t find it right now though. Googling gave me Glitchpunk, which looks similar, though not as I remember it. And apparently it’s stuck as early access and might be dead. Maybe someone else will remember that other game I remember.
