Far Cry - the original (I did not really like Far Cry 2 because it seemed to be very repetitive). What I liked about Far Cry was that if there was a sniper somewhere, there was a way to get to him. Since Far Cry takes place on a series of islands and some places lead to sure death, it may not be as free-form as you would like.

a great game im surprised no one mentioned it "The Saboteur" its a game about WWII and taking place in Paris
and the game has great graphics great storyline and you get to kill nazis
