Which game is best? Include what qualification you're using. (Best story, best sandbox, etc.)

If for some reason you've played them all, rank them?

I've yet to really play any of these types of sandbox games, but I like Burnout Paradise.

All of the GTA games you listed and Saint's Row 2 have pretty good soundtracks as far as music goes, but for the fun factor I would have to go with either the GTA Episodes or Just Cause 2, althought there's alot of fun stuff to do in Saint's Row 2 as well.

Just Cause 2 has a ton of little secrets that you can find by exploring the map, as do some of the GTA games.

I would probably say to just get all of them if you can(the last gen GTA's should be cheap to get someplace by now, even if it's used copies) since they all have their own positive and negative aspects.

One thing that's really impressive and makes it stand out from the rest of the games though is the fact that you can record and upload videos of your antics in Just Cause 2. You can put them up on YouTube after recording them in game.
