Just Cause 2's entire map was a stunning achievement, especially the snowy mountain bits. I'm a sucker for snow in games.
Far Cry 2, amazing graphics, incredible world...shame about the gameplay. Great to explore though, providing you don't get shot by those GODDAMN patrols every 5 minutes.
Red Dead Redemption, again especially the snowy bits. But the whole world is amazing.
Far Cry (PC). Amazing tropical location. It was pretty good in Far Cry Instincts as well.
Finally, GTA IV's Liberty City. Just full of detail. It still amazes me driving across Brooklyn Bridge at night with the classic rock station on.
EDIT: Nope, thought of another one. Splinter Cell Double Agent on X360 was ultimately disappointing for me, especially cause I played the (in my opinion) superior one on Xbox first. That said, the Shanghai level was stunning. Just looking across to the skyline as you're on the rooftop.
