[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 4116450, member: 1154"] A couple notes... I define "gta-style" games here to be games in which one can do missions, or just explore the game world and futz around, as the mood strikes them. [b]Games functionally identical to GTA[/b] (i.e. third person action games fitting that paradigm): GTA series from GTA 3 on Simpsons: Hit & Run Saint's Row True Crime: Streets of LA Crackdown Spider-man Series Transformers [b]Games which fit that paradigm, but change the formula somehow[/b] Midtown Madness (whichever was on the Xbox... Never played any of the others, so can't comment on them) Burnout Paradise Tokyo Extreme Racer series Elder Scrolls series Pretty much any MMORPG (World of Warcraft, Everquest, City of Heroes, Guild Wars, etc, etc, etc) However, now I'm bored. As has been said already, a simple search reveals lots of others. Here's a link to GameSpot for 106 games [url=http://www.gamespot.com/pages/tags/index.php?type=game&tags=sandbox]tagged as Sandbox[/url], although to be fair a lot of those games I would not say are very reminiscent of the GTA-style of a sandbox game. I look forward to your reply explaining to me why I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
