Sandbox games are fun because it's always nice to have the freedom to just screw around in between the actual game bits. The key is making sure there's enough meat to the game for the player to actually have something to DO in sandbox mode.

Spider-man 2 is an example of how NOT to do it, because there's very little you can really do independent of the main game. You just swing around and stop random crimes, and that's about it. GTA3, in contrast, has tons of stuff you can do, from wanton destruction, orchestrating complicated police chases, or even running the R3 service vehicle missions for a lark. Heck, I amused myself for hours in San Andreas just causing traffic accidents on the freeway.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
