    According to Wikipedia:

    So games like Viva Piñata & Zoo Tycoon 2 DS fit the bill.

    a sandbox game is something which you can run around and can do whatever you want. What you do in scribblenauts depends on the user.

    read the wikipedia article saying a sandbox isnt a fixed sequence of challenges

    That doesn't mean that a game can't be a sandbox and not a sandbox at the same time.

    true. at the start of the game, before you select a profile, THAT is sandbox.

    If they base themselves on Book 2, the new Golden Sun will probably be a sandboxie-like RPG.


    Anyway, I hate this kind of game, so there is no way I can suggest anything like that D:

    It's sandbox because of the actual way you complete those challenges, which isn't fixed.
    The game tries to encourage you to think up different scenarios using your imagination.

    I hate Scribblenauts though. A good idea implemented way too poorly.
    That's personally one of the things i liked about GS2. You could go about doing sub quests, to upgrade your weapons, collect different summons etc.
    I hate RPG's that force you to complete the story and nothing else.
