HereForTheBeer: Whenever "sandbox game" is mentioned, I always think of the building games like SimCity, Railroad Tycoon, etc. You know, build stuff, like in a sandbox.
You're right, games like GTA 3 and Morrowind are freeroam games.

SovietSharkey: Two Worlds 2- Game has issues but the world is awsome
I think the main issue with 2 Worlds 2 is the awkward title. Kind of sounds like a 90s boy band. XP
I guess I'm not a big fan of sandbox games, but I'm currently playing Aquaria and that one has quite a bit of freeform exploration, too (I like it but actually I'm already wishing the areas were a bit smaller :D ). Not sure if that counts.

SimonG: I always think of destruction, rampage and violence. You know, like in a Sandbox ;-)
LOL - you got me there.

In that case I vote for the old classic, Crush, Crumble, and Chomp: http://www.mobygames.com/game/crush-crumble-and-chomp

Edit: I guess I haven't played many of the other type of sandbox games, so I'm fairly limited to Morrowind and maybe some other one that skips my mind for now.

This one looks good but unfortunately I haven't tried it yet. :-(

The original from the 90s was good, but the remake is too linear and consolified and they dumbed down the dump truck mechanics and removed some of the rarer buckets.

Ultima 6 was my first and most memorable "sand box" style game. the Ultima series pioneered this type game.

GTA3 was probobaly the most fun ive had. playing with friends and just rampaging and killiing poeple. so much fun.
