Farcry 3 is by far my favorite sandbox game. Lighting a tiger on fire with a flare gun because it alerted a base filled with enemies to my whereabouts is great fun

Apart from JC2 and Saint's Row the OP seems to have a really badly designed poll. Fallout, Minecraft, Elder Scrolls do not get in... but Asylum and Assassin's creed do for truly open world games? Not to mention Far Cry 2 and 3 are also far more open than Batty's Asylum... The other option is sweeping the polls at 40%
I loved me Just Cause 2 for pure DESTRUCTION >
Do anything, most options, biggest overall open experience would be Skyrim.
Best overall would probably be Fallout New Vegas.
Minecraft inspires the most creativity and is endless to all practical extents of the word.

Grand Theft Auto 4 or Just Cause 2, DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE! On reflection, although JC2 is extremely fun, the story is kinda shitty, and while GTA4 is not more fun that JC2, the story is really, really, really good. Not better than San Andreas (also known as the best game of all time.)
Red Dead Redemption gets my vote, because it's rare to see an open world game with such a good story.
I loved it so much that it got on my list of favourite games.
Honourable mentions are Assassin's Creed 2, and Infamous 1 and 2, for the same reasons as above.

While I agree that the poll is lacking what both of us consider to be very good sandbox games (and including some less than stellar ones), the OP is entitled to their opinion. There's just gonna be a whole lot of Other being picked.Brandon237 said:Apart from JC2 and Saint's Row the OP seems to have a really badly designed poll.

A: Not all very definitive sandbox games (Assassin's creed and AA are much more like "large linear" games than sandbox games)
B: Not all likely to get any love (sleeping dogs at 1.4%)
So the poll becomes useless, it does not demonstrate which are the most popular sandbox gamesp. OPs choice yes, but not a good one ;P
See I was going to ding him on AC and AA as well but he says OPEN WORLD/sandbox. So the poll doesn't have to be exclusively sandbox.Brandon237 said:Yes, but the games the OP chose areRedDeadFred said:While I agree that the poll is lacking what both of us consider to be very good sandbox games (and including some less than stellar ones), the OP is entitled to their opinion.

Sleeping Dogs being there does perplex me though...
Note: I haven't played AA but I'm assuming it's open world. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Of the ones you listed, I got to say I love Just Cause 2 & Saints Row 2 but my favorite of this gen is Fallout 3.
Where the fuck are my Bethesda games!!!! Fallout New Vegas, Oblivion, and Skyrim are the best Sandbox games this gen.
Ass Creed, despite the latest sequel not living up to my expectations. Would've chosen Just Cause 2, but didn't simply because I hated the damn purchase system which annoyed me to no end.
Out of the Open World games I've played, I think Saints Row 2 is my favorite. It's like GTA in toon town but it isn't overly stupid like Saint's Row 3. I didn't like New Vegas or Red Dead Redemption as much due to a mix of color scheme and, a lack of friendly settlements (although RDR wins out because I get to hogtie people). Fallout 3 wins out over the last 2 because I'm a Capital Wasteland native and...you know, novelty of shooting nukes in Olney and Germantown is extremely cathartic to me. I loved Crackdown and honestly it's a very close second since it's like a mix of Punisher, Incredible Hulk and, Iron Man wherein you jump on roofs and throw people off of said roofs. I absolutely loved that game! GTA 4 was alright but too grounded in reality for me (also movement controls got kind of buggy for me). Skyrim beat out Oblivion but mainly because of Giants and Dragons. Ass Creed one beat out 2 because those are the only two I played and AC2 doesn't let me stab unlimited numbers of people. Just Cause 2 was like this generation's San Andreas only without the stupid tutorials-upon-tutorials.
...
My top 3 are;
Saint's Row 2
Crackdown
Just Cause 2

In that rather poor list, Saints Row 2.
not included that I would have voted:
Minecraft (a litteral sandbox)
Skyrim (Montains and dragons!)
Fallout 3 (a amazing wasteland)
Fallout: New Vegas (a amazing wasteland that is trying to kill you with deathclaws, cazadors...)
Far Cry 3 (yet to play but I've heard good things)

Oh, Fallout 3.
I don't enjoy it nearly as much as I enjoy Assassin's Creed, but there's just something about it that's more... I don't know, lasting.

Why must you make me choose? I can't pick between Saints Row 2, Just Cause 2, and Sleeping Dogs. I guess I'll go with Just Cause 2 because I feel since there isn't a specific choice for SR2 people could think I was voting for that piece of shit Saints Row the Third.
