Generally, I prefer linear games as it's easier just to get some quick action. Burnout Paradise is a good example; it's a good game, lots of ambition, very impressive as a game - but I can't help feeling i'd rather play Burnout 3 HD instead :/.
GTA is different though. On PS2, I wasnt that fussed about the open worlds, I thought it was a bit dull, i'd just go from mission to mission. GTA IV, though, is great. I feel like i'm in a big, real, living world, and although there's nothing like hidden packages to find, I still like walking or driving around between missions, or standing on a rooftop looking out at the city and taking in the little details.
