It was a fresh idea at the time that has brought many "pretenders to the throne" out of the woodwork. But GTA3 really nailed how a sandbox game should be designed, and the sequels have built on that foundation.

Unfortunately, I don't see this being a classic. Defense wins championships, but this is a good, not great Bears defense, and they're not nearly as good as the Ravens or Bucs were in their Super Bowl runs. I would guess that the Colts will probably start off a bit flat, which will keep it interesting for awhile, but they will eventually wear down Chicago's defense and pull ahead. I can't see Rex Grossman having a bad game, but one or two crucial mistakes is all it will take to have the Bears playing catch up. They'll probably shut down Dallas Clark, but I don't think they'll be able to shut down Marvin Harrison for the whole game. At the end, the Colts win by double digits.
