Red Faction Guerilla was a lot of fun. One of the best sandbox games I've played was Mercenaries for the ps2/xbox, that game was just fun, and I liked how the missions let you do them in a lot of different ways, whereas in GTA games usually you really only have one way to do them and maybe another way to exploit some glitch to do them. But without a backwards compatible ps3 you wouldn't be able to play it.
Might also want to check out Yakuza 3 for ps3, it's fun though not quite as good for its time as the first two were on the ps2. It's kind of like GTA, very story heavy, you basically go around beating dudes up...it's maybe kind of an acquired taste though. Yakuza 4 is coming out soon too.
I guess you have a backwards-compatible ps2, my newer one can't do it.
Here are some great ps2 games I wish I could go back and play:
Yakuza 1 and 2
Mercenaries
Dynasty Warriors 4 Empires (hands down the best DW game I've played, the others I've tried were crap, this one is a lot of fun)
God Hand (really tough though)
Sniper Elite
???? I play my PS2 games on my PS3 console with no problem.
I will definitely check out some of these suggestions! Thanks so much, guys!
Some PS3's have full backwards compatibility (like mine), some have partial, and some have none. If you have full backwards compatibility, I'll step through my wall of games sometime this week and provide a list of some PS2 games you should like.

Speaking of that, and just for everyone's reference, here's the official PS2 to PS3 (1st generation, which are the 20GB, 60GB, and 80GB models) game compatibility page from Sony, where you can search the status of any PS2 game:
