According to Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_games

Wikipedia articleA video game with nonlinear gameplay (sandbox style) presents players with challenges that can be completed in a number of different sequences. Whereas a more linear game will confront a player with a fixed sequence of challenges, a less linear game will allow greater player freedom. For example, a nonlinear game may permit multiple sequences to finish the game, a choice between paths to victory, or optional side-quests and subplots. Some games feature both linear and nonlinear elements, and some games offer a sandbox mode that allows players to explore an open world game environment independently from the game's main objectives.The genre began in the 8-bit era with games like The Legend of Zelda (1986), Elite (1984), Mercenary (1985), and Cholo (1986). More recent examples are The Elder Scrolls series (1994 to present), the Grand Theft Auto series (1997 to present), the Fallout series (1997 to present), and the Banjo-Kazooie series (1998 to present).A game that is significantly nonlinear is sometimes described as being open-ended or a sandbox,[1][2][3][4] and is characterized by there being no "right way" of playing the game.[5] A common consequence (intentional or unintentional) of open-ended gameplay is emergent gameplay.[4]

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.
