Right now, there's literally a ton of open-world environment games. Some pretty much empty (the likes of Prototype, Incredible Hulk or Spider-Man games, for example), some full of everything except properly fleshed-out characters (i.e, Bethesda games), MMO worlds (they go without saying, really) and so on and so forth. None more so than the Grand Theft Auto games. And, king among them, is San Andreas. GTA before SA was big, but never quite as big. SA is a huge, sprawling city, complete with suburbs, rural and urban areas, public transportation and chock-full of NPCs, junk food joints, strip clubs, bars, retailers. You literally need hours just to explore the city, nevermind playing the game. There's simply so much to do, you might never get to see it all. GTA IV recognized this much freedom as intimidating and slightly limited it to a smaller, more tightly-packed but more cinematic game. The freedom of SA, though, remains unsurpassed.
