Wrong.

A sandbox game is defined as: A game where players can roam freely as per their will, or can complete missions/objectives

A sandbox game CAN include creative elements, like Minecraft, but any game whee you can say 'screw missions' and explore however you like is also a sandbox, whether it includes creative or not.
