Infamous, I love the climbing mechanics of it, and the combat also.

Sooo what's the best one apart from the best ones? Out of those I'd say Prototype, game made you feel like a total badass.

That really narrows it down. Minecraft is an obvious answer, so I'll say....Deadly Premonition. And I'm dead serious there. :P

Well since we're not allowed to say the best sandbox games like Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Red Dead Redemption (why I don't know), I'll go with InFamous.

Can't really say any of those impressed me. Their worlds were pretty boring, never felt like doing anymore exploring than was needed.

If this isn't about the game you mentioned why is it about the titles you put in the poll? I mean there is a "other" option. I played Assasins creed 1, and the game felt as linear as a linear game can get. Bluntly said, scout -> talk -> scout -> kill. Nothing free to it imo... I'd say it's eve online, since you can litteraly do anything in the game and almost the entire game is driven by players (read: no NPC's involved) it deserves the title best free roaming game.

I laughed at the 28 votes for Infamous. Out of that selection? Crackdown, a very influential and innovative (in structure) game this generation. Otherwise Fallout New Vegas as a free roaming RPG, Minecraft and STALKER CoP and Red Faction get votes off the top of my head.

Assassin's Creed is the only series where I can run around with absolutely no goal and have fun. Not even killing enemies; just enjoying the cities and the freerunning so I'll go with that.

I'd rather go by fun. BUT infamous is a better game even if I didn't like it all that much. I don't think it's nearly as good as people say though, but it has some very good ideas. Hopefully they will tighten things up with the sequel.

GTA IV, followed by Just Cause 2.

And yeah, I read your post. But I'm not going to exclude certain games when the topic title states "best free roaming game this generation..." You don't exclude games when asking which is the best. :?

InFamous no question. Tight controls, fantastic combat, great side missions (big plus that these side missions actually had a purpose), they got a little repetitive in the second island but then started to freshen up in the third. It also had a lengthy campaign with an incentive to play through twice.

The rules are weird. All of the exceptions you mentioned are free roaming games.
