As in the title, games which are in a good series, but which by themselves are terrible.

Call of Duty 3 was a real stinker. After two (three if you count the PC expansion pack) great WWII FPS games, we get a stock, half-assed attempt at the COD franchise with a stupid gimmick that only appears like two or three times.

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
I love all things Resident Evil; I'm one of the few people that actually liked RE Outbreak and Outbreak 2, but a rail shooter? Dear God, this should never have been made.

It seems that the number 2 is cursed with games that just don't fit or are underwhelming. Case in point:
Super Mario 2
Zelda 2
Devil May Cry 2
Metal Gear Solid 2
Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest
Maybe it's like Star Trek movies where the odd numbered ones are crappy.

Not sure about MGS2. Yeah we all know Raiden was annoying, but overall, the storyline was cool, and it fueled MGS4 to an extent, which in turn redeemed Raiden.
I was more disappointed with Devil May Cry 4. Truly jumped the shark. The graphics were unarguably sublime, but Nero was a tool, the story was weaker than 1 and 3, and the transition from Nero to Dante was just unsettling, and broke up the game. Also, Nero says "Kiriye" way too much....

I agree. I wonder if it was perhaps just me, but I'd finally started getting Nero mastered and they threw Dante at you to control(though the boss battle was amazing, I hold it up as one of the best battles around) and by the time I was really mastering him they gave you Nero back.
I'd say Final Fantasy 11, if you can count that as part of a series. If not, one of the most recent pokémon games. What're we on now, Diamond and Pearl?
Devil May Cry jumped the shark with 2 and landed in it's mouth. The story has ALWAYS been abysmal, but we forgave the first one because the combat was innovative and entertaining. The Second one was just boneheadedly retarded and 3 decided to ratchet up the hard like Team Ninja made it, and 4...was a cutscene with linking gameplay elements.ZantetsukenQ post=9.72440.760827 said:
This could be a long, looooong thread.
I'll name three to keep it short.
Battlefield: Vietnam (lame filler for BF2)
Call of Duty 3 (and imo, 2 wasn't that great either)
Anything beyond Need For Speed 3 was crap, if you ask me. NFSU2 was decent, afterwards it went downhill again.. NFS: Carbon.. horrible! I can only imagine what NFS: Undercover will be like. I'll go back to the good old Test Drive series for my racing fix. I heard they're making Test Drive Unlimited 2!

Mercenaries 2. I am wrothful right now. I would've been happy with a port of the original with a new map. What the hell is this shit though. . .
I thought Jak 2 was the best of the series. It took the biggest leaps in terms of changing things up. Jak 3 felt really easy and the story just felt like they didn't know what they were doing. Jak X just wanted to be Mario Kart excepted unbalanced and Jak 1 was...well, Jak 1.Spektre41 post=9.72440.760890 said:
Also, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Perfect Dark Zero, Final Fantasy X-2, Mercenaries 2, and Megaman X6.
