Grand Theft Auto 2	Take 2 Interactive (Rockstar Games)	1999	Grand Theft Auto is back. The cars are faster. The streets are busier. The bad guys are nastier. The police are angrier. And now, the FBI and the Army are getting involved... Seven ruthless gangs are involved in a ruthless power struggle and it is up to you to make a name for yourself. Respect is earned, not given.* [100]* [84]* [53]Aunque se nota un cierto intento de hacer el juego más serio y con una cierta campaña con respecto al anterior juego, apenas se diferencia en su estilo arcade basado en misiones por teléfono, aunque si que es cierto que el manejo a pie es infinitamente mejor. 5 de 10**This formerly commercial game has been released as freeware at some point and is available [[link:http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/ here]].
Grand Theft Auto III	Take 2 Interactive (DMA Design)	2002	Stealing Cars Just Isn't Enough Any More - Respect Is Everything! Twenty minutes into the future, and the city's a changed place. It's darker. Dirtier. Meaner. The police are fighting back, and the army might just be lending a hand, Or a tank. And there's not just one Mr Big these days, friend, there's seven. If you want to get anywhere, you're going to need to get noticed. Get noticed and maybe you'll get somewhere. Maybe you'll get rich. Maybe you'll get dead. Grand Theft Auto is back!

Law and order is breaking down. The city has been carved up by ruthless gangs and crime syndicates leaving the police and government to fight an even tougher war to wash scum like you from the city streets. However, the city is yours for the taking if you have the guts and the brains. You start your quest with a car jacking a simple yet, effective crime otherwise known as Grand Theft Auto. Once you take your pick from the thousands of vehicles jamming the dirty city streets, you are on your way to becoming King of the City. There are two ways you can accomplish this feat - find a gang willing to employ your sorry butt or use your ruthless cunning to set the gangs at each other's throats with you wiping out the last few survivors.*You've been betrayed and left for dead. Now you're taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help, and street gangs want you dead. You'll have to rob, steal, and kill just to stay out of serious trouble. Anything can happen out here. Grand Theft Auto III features a fully 3-D living city, a combination of narrative-driven and nonlinear gameplay, and a completely open environment.Players are put at the heart of their very own gangster movie, in which anything can happen and probably will. With a cast of hundreds, 50-plus vehicles--including sports cars, ice-cream trucks, boats, and buses--three hours of music, (including opera, reggae, house, drum and bass, pop, and disco), a huge array of street-ready weapons, and some of the seediest characters in video game history, Grand Theft Auto III is a sprawling epic that will show you that sometimes crime can pay, and that sometimes it pays you back.*El boom de los GTA empezó con este juego por algo. Aunque el Vice City es un juego más pulido que este, Liberty City ofrece uno de los mejores sandbox de la historia. El iniciador de una época de sandbox. Imprescindible. 8 de 10

The Simpsons: Hit and Run	Vivendi	2003
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas	Take 2 Interactive;Rockstar Games (Rockstar North)	2005	Bastante más alocado que el resto de la franquicia, y con elementos interesantes robados a Maxis y a Ensemble Studios como hacerte un Super Size Me y talar madera. Bonus: puedes ser un gangsta en una bicicleta robada mientras llevas chancletas. Muy recomendable, muy buen juego, además de bastante cómico en comparación de otras entregas más "serias" de la saga. 8 de 10

Mafia II	2K Games (2K Czech)	2010	Un juego que, aunque con una jugabilidad "sanbox" al estilo GTA, presenta una argumento más serio y sobretodo una recreación tan bonita como inmersiva de los mediados del S.XX en EEUU. In short: third person action/driving sandbox in the 40s-50s. Pros: Great atmosphere and details, especially in cars. Great jazz and rock music Collectables that are worth the time to search them Cons: The action is too often limited for a videogame, too filmic. Very limited choices in the story 6 of 10**[b]DLC add-ons:[/b] Jimmy's Vendetta * Greaser Pack * Renegade Pack * Vegas Pack * War Hero Pack * Joe's Adventure**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP w/ SP2, Vista or 7 * 3 GHz Pentium D or Athlon 64 X2 3600+ CPU * 1.5 GB RAM * GeForce 8600 or Radeon HD2600 Pro GPU * 8 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.4 GHz quad-core CPU * 2 GB RAM * GeForce 9800 GTX or Radeon HD 3870 GPU * 10 GB HD space
Saints Row: The Third	THQ (Volition)	2011	Uno de los sandbox más divertidos y absurdos que existen. Además de un multijugador para morirse de risa.

Strap it on.

Retro City Rampage	D3 Publisher (Vblank Entertainment)	2013	Recordando mucho a los clásicos Driver o GTA, con elementos de acción-plataformas sacados de multitud de otros juegos. Además, las referencias están muy bien integradas, no son simples guiños forzados o copias directas de la fuente. La única pega que le pondría es que su control es bastante torpe, que complica un juego ya de por sí bastante difícil. 6 de 10
Saints Row IV	Deep Silver (Volition)	2013	Sandbox en estado puro, similar al Saints Row The Third (incluso la ciudad es la misma), pero con muchas más misiones secundarias y con el añadido de ser más absurdamente divertido que nunca gracias a su elemento insigne: ahora "The Boss" tiene poderes. Y los enemigos son lo suficientemente duros para que, a pesar de todas tus abilidades y arsenal, suponga un mínimo reto completar las misiones. 8 de 10***The US President must save the Earth from alien overlord Zinyak using an arsenal of superpowers and strange weapons in the wildest open world game ever. The epic conclusion to the game that changed all the rules!
