I think Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall had a world that was 62,394 square miles.

i played the just cause 2 demo - it's so big. surely the biggest game environment to date. but it's so barren and somewhat boring.

If it counts, Fuel's, not that it was good. It took around an hour to even go to another province, and there were like 14 of them.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but... uh, the Just Cause 2 demo only has one tiny island from the full games archipelago O_O

I'm pretty sure Daggerfall is the biggest, followed by Fuel. The problem with Fuel is that there's not a ton to do in it, making a huge world a wasted one. Also, I'm pretty sure in games like Minefield there's procedurally generated worlds where if you keep walking in one direction the game world will make itself up as you go.

Minecraft. It has the potential to be 8 times the size of the Earth.

I thought the emptiness is what made FUEL appealing. From a gameplay-perspective there wasn't a whole lot to do in free roam mode, but driving around aimlessly had a meditative feel to it.
