Can anyone recommend a game/games that are similar in style to games such as Grand Theft Auto? I love games that allow you to roam around entire cities/maps without being restricted to any kind of "linear" storyline etc. The only other games I've come across that resemble this style are "Mafia", "The Godfather", and a countless number of online RPG games (which I loath).
Thanks

Assuming were talking PC Games, the only others I would know, would be The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, and Boiling Point.
Oblivion, whilst being an RPG, (not online), is different, as rather than just clicking on enemies to attack, you get to swing swords, clubs, axes... in 1st or 3rd person, shoot arrows as in a FPS, and use the ocasional spell as you wish. The map is free roaming, and you can set out to save the world, or join the mages, fighters, thiefs guilds, or some assasins guild i forget the name of. Great game, check it out.
Boiling point is much similar to GTA, but set in a jungle. was released with lots of bugs, so you might want to check out what progress has been made in patches.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted has the free roam option where you can just take in the sights. However, if you bang too many cars or buildings, the police come looking for you. But that doesn't happen often.

Yeah, my brother loves that game, I might give it a chance (I usually don't go in for racing games).

I wasn't a race game addict either. Until NFS: MW. It got me hooked. (I only play NFSMW in the racing genre though).
