Good game, lousy sequel

This is for all those games which are good on their own, but when compared to their prequels, they just seem like total crap.

Red Faction 2 was a good game for example, but it just wasn't the sequel Red Faction justified.

Anyone else have any examples?

Knights of the old republic, and then knights of the old republic 2. KOTOR2 wasn't a horrible game, but nothing could have lived up to the first one.

I played KOTOR 2 before i played the original and i thought the second was just as good. Yahtzee said it in is XBLA: double review better than i can.

But Far cry 2 was a great game but nothing like the original. so Do i care? no i play it and call it "dude who wants to kill a dude who sounds like an animal and did i mention the dude is a arms dealer!" AKA DWWTKADWSLAAADIMTDIAAD.

So, you're saying that you played KotOR 2, and didn't think the last half-hour and unresolved plotlines sucked? What about the complete lack of resolution?

True Crime Streets of La was way better than True Crime NYC

Burnout 3: Takedown was better than Burnout Revenge

Ace Combat 5 was better than Ace Combat Zero... although zero brought some new depth to the field, the story didn't have the much needed attraction the prequel had.

Splashdown 2: Rides Gone Wild and Jet Moto's sequels never had the charm the 1st 2 games did Sd 2's endings were watered down boiled water compared to the hilarity of the 1st games endings and Jet Moto just seemed to become a bigger bill board for Consumer goods the and less about good open levels higher it got.

condemned!!

a great thriller thats acctually scares the shit out of you great story,voice acting(script),great atmosphere and good combat(even tough the combat can get a bit boring towards the end)

condemned 2 a plot that ruins everything, terrible voice acting(listen to ethan in this one he sounds terrible), the script seems like it was writting by a five year old with no mystery or dramatic scenes in the game.

they did make the combat a bit better but that makes up for nothing

Can we include Prequals? I have to say Perfect Dark Zero. Perfect Dark might as well be a historical artifact, why did they have to ruin it by making the new one in the past (yet some how more advanced and cleansed) as well as NOT Nintendo. Damn you Rareware, you sellouts!

EDIT: Is that a GDI avatar? I like it (If it is).

Chrono Cross, if it weren't a "sequel" to the best game ever made it wouldn't have been so disappointing. i mean, great graphics, good story and some really fun battles.

That's two words and a number.
Shut up.
Haha that made me chuckle :p

Although on a more inquisitive note, what made you like the first Far Cry more than the new one? I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I'm just curious is all.
