This is when Rockstar started to care a lot more about their characters and story of the game, because of that, I think that Tommy as a character is the 3rd best just before CJ and Niko. Some people do not know this, but Ray Liotta voiced Thomas "Tommy" Vercetti, which is a detail that never stop surprising even again later on. The plot of the game is an amalgamation of Scarface and Goodfellas packed with action. Many details of the game are just that good, heck, the radio, the damn radio for example! How am I supposed to play this game on foot? No way, I am grabbing a vehicle and if a song I like is still playing when I arrive at a destination, I don't get out of the car until it's done playing.
