Must be just personal preference. For me, I like sandbox games because what you are buying is a world to explore. Simple as that, really. There's a world inside your pc/console, you walk/drive/ interact anywhere in that world. Why do people like to travel? Same thing. What makes some sandbox games better is the game within the sandbox. Red Dead had a good story and atmosphere. Fallout 3 had loads of atmosphere. JustCause2 has an incredible sand box to play in, even though the game story was rather cheesy. I also enjoy arcade type games, driving games (although that's really a sandbox you drive in), RPG's (sometimes are sandbox).  So what games DO you like? Just arcade or puzzles? Just linear? I enjoy them all, but it's like going on vacation somewhere when I play a sandbox game.
