Any list that doesnt have X3 for free roaming games is an incomplete list.

1. Red Dead Redemption ~ amazing atmosphere
2. Just Cause 2 ~ best sandbox game ever
3. Shadow of the Colossus ~ graphical fidelity can do wonders to make games drop down on lists
4. TESIV: Oblivion ~ beautiful world, especially in Shivering Isles
5. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl ~ very atmospheric, very creepy and very awesome

I hadn't really played any open world/free roam games until this gen, so I'll just list the ones I've actually played.

  1. Assassin's Creed 2
  2. Fallout 3
  3. Batman: Arkham Asylum (I guess this one counts)
  4. Infamous
  5. RDR (although I'm not a huge fan of it like everyone else)

I like Open world games a lot, but the only game I think deserves to be called a top-tier sandbox game is Saints Row 2.

It has everything to make a good Sandbox game

-story mode with a lot of freedom

-great sense of progression

-Toys!!! So many sandbox games lack pimpcane-shotguns, miniguns, ufos, hot dog outfits etc.

-tons of distractions, many sandbox claim to have "ENDLESS SIDEMISSIONS!!" but in reality every sidemission in say GTAIV is drive here, shoot up the place, profit. Same thing with Just Cause, you can only blow up so many enemy bases until it gets boring!!

Saints Row 2 was one of the best Free-Roam games just because it had fun minigames and COOP was fun.

RDR is the only Free Roam game that has kept me interested in playing it. I have played and not really cared for GTA4, AC, and Infamous.

1. The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion

2. Grand Theft Auto 4

3. The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind

4. Fallout 3

5. Red Dead Redemption

However, Zelda Ocarina of Time was my first real free roam game (and my favorite game of all time) so I guess it deserves a spot somewhere on here. However the free roam aspects have not aged well at all.

So far it is just Oblivion and Fallout 3. I haven't got to try out a lot of games for the 360 unfortunately:oops:. I am sure once I buy RDR and New Vegas those will be added to the list.

RDR's quite a different take on sandbox games. The world feels a lot more dynamic than normal games. Just watch your back for those damn cougars.

1. Mafia- Quite possibly the best action game I've ever played, period.

2. Just Cause 2- Basically the perfect execution of the over the top sandbox action game concept, completely crazy ridiculous action is used as a means of advancing the story, perfectly intertwining what you have to do in the game with what you actually want to do in the game. Insane, and awesome.

3. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl- An insane attention to atmospheric details brings the desolation of this games world to life, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is often somewhat nerve wracking but always utterly engrossing.

4. Prototype- I loved the combat in this game, and although it could've used a few more basic types of sidequests, I rather enjoyed the ones that it did offer. The story was also pretty fascinating if you unlocked "the truth" via the web of intrigue instead of just having it told to you.

5. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind- I absolutely loved the lore of this game. Incredibly adventure, even if the combat sucked terribly.

1. Saints Row 2- By far the funnest and greatest free roam game I have ever played. Free Roam is my preferred gaming genre. 2. GTA San Andreas- Still one of the best maps EVER. This game was ahead of its time 3. GTA Vice City- This is one of the games you lose yourself in. EPIC. 4. Bully- See GTA Vice City 5. Gun- Red Dead Redemption is phenomenal but Gun achieved it first. Call me old school.

Oblivion

GTA: San Andreas

RDR

Infamous

That's all I really care for as far as open world games go, with the last two boring me before they were over.
