Brings what grabs you about Crime Life: Gang Wars: an open world, good gunplay and a dark atmosphere.

The landmark that took GTA into 3D: as a silent criminal you climb the underworld of grim Liberty City, stealing cars, running jobs for mob bosses and causing mayhem whenever you like. Satirical radio stations and the freedom of its open city made it the template for the entire sandbox genre.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Open world

As CJ you return to Los Santos and fight your way across a huge state full of gang wars, corrupt cops and absurd side activities. Vehicles, shootouts, RPG-like stats and a legendary radio soundtrack make it one of the most expansive sandbox classics.

True Crime: Streets of LA

Realistic visuals

A GTA-style open-world action game where you play a rogue cop in a recreated Los Angeles, mixing gunplay, martial arts and driving chases. Failed missions lead to branching story paths.

Scarface: The World Is Yours

Open world

An open-world shooter that picks up where the film ends: Tony Montana survives the mansion assault and rebuilds his drug empire in 1980s Miami. Gunfights, driving and dealing wrapped in the film's brash, profane tone.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction

Realistic visuals

As a mercenary in a fictional North Korean crisis, you take contracts from rival factions, hunt high-value targets and call in airstrikes, vehicles and supplies. Its appeal lies in open-ended, explosive sandbox freedom with highly destructible environments.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Open world

A top-down entry in the GTA series where you rise through Liberty City's Triad underworld, dealing drugs, stealing cars and shooting your way through a revenge plot. Touch-based minigames like hotwiring cars and a dense open-world sandbox set it apart.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Open world

As immigrant Niko Bellic, you chase the American dream through the gritty, living metropolis of Liberty City, only to sink deeper into crime and revenge. It tells a darker, more grounded story than earlier entries while keeping the series' sharp satire.

True Crime: New York City

Realistic visuals

As a cop in a large recreation of New York, you shoot, brawl and drive through a crime story voiced by Hollywood actors. Playing as a straight or corrupt officer shifts missions and the story somewhat.

Sleeping Dogs

Realistic visuals

As undercover cop Wei Shen, you infiltrate the Triads in a neon-lit Hong Kong, brawling through kung-fu-movie style melee with counters and brutal environmental takedowns, plus car chases. Its tale of torn loyalties between police and gang is the real hook.
