Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Yakuza series made by Japanese developers? I'm pretty sure they count as sandbox games. But yeah Japanese developers don't tend to make sandbox games.

Great article as usual Steve. I remember you talking about this topic when you were over at IGN on the Command Prompt podcast so its cool to see your thoughts laid out in this article. Personally I would love to see a game that didn't let you reload any of the decision you make thereby...
