I love the pacing that allows me to catch my breath before I have to wipe out fifty mexican soldiers.

Single player - maybe even multiplayer - is not pick up and play. But I've sat on my horse on a mountain ridge and watched the sun rise.

Rockstar earned my $50 with this puppy.

Having said that, God of War 3 is next on my list.
I'm actually totally into the the type of experience you're talking about...the slow builder, with an open world and the freedom to do much more than a linear game. I just didn't think it was executed in a way that made me want to keep playing. My perfect sandbox game would be Fallout 3.

Red Dead was technically glitchy also. God of War 3 was so good, technically and story-wise, that I also played through parts 1 and 2, which has been remastered in HD for the PS3. They were pretty damn good too.
