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.

Grand Theft Auto III

Open world

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: 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.

Spider-Man 2

Lavish presentation

The landmark movie tie-in whose physics-based web-swinging through an open Manhattan set the standard for superhero games. Between story missions against Doc Ock you rescue civilians, chase balloons and unlock new combat moves.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

Action-packed real-time combat

An explosive open-world shooter where you play a mercenary in a war-torn Venezuela, working for rival factions. You blow things up, hijack vehicles and profit from chaos, with heavy destruction and tongue-in-cheek humor.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

Open world

A 1984-set prequel to Vice City following soldier Vic Vance as he slides into crime and builds his own criminal empire. The neon-soaked city comes with a strong 80s soundtrack.

Bully

Open world

As troublemaker Jimmy Hopkins you brawl, prank and charm your way through the crumbling Bullworth Academy, juggling class minigames, rival cliques and school rules. Rockstar's satirical open-world take on school life is full of humor and heart.

Skate 2

Open world

Skate 2 is a skateboarding sim set in an open city where you master tricks, lines and highlight clips using the precise Flick-It controls. You can explore on foot and even reshape the city with ramps and objects while rebuilding your career.

Maneater

Open world

You play a shark that eats its way through an open-world Gulf Coast, growing and mutating as it feeds. A satirical reality-TV narrator and satisfying evolution upgrades define the experience.
