I would say Bourne and LOTR. But they arn't sequals, they are continuations of the story

Terminator 2 and Spiderman 2 on the other hand, beat the living shit outta their originals.

Gamewise: I can see DOW2 beating the original once it gets more races, Warcraft 3 (is it a sequal to warcraft 2? I dunno) but it was better than the once before it anyway, same with TF2, Doom 2, Diablo 2 and Neverwinter Nights 2

Can't be ar**'d to read every page, so i'll just say it.
Game = Abe's exodus > Abe's Odessey (And neither can I be ar**'d to remember how to spell this correctly)

How about Matrix reloaded? (the second one) A bit of a call, but in my opinion it could be seen to be superior to the original. Feel free to express your own opinion in this matter, this seems to be a bit of a topic of contention, but please be gentle. I still hurt from last night.
Oh God no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no...

I'm still wondering where the cool sci-fi part of The Matrix went in the sequels...maybe if there was less Hugo Weaving filling the screen and less crap special effects they could have written a proper plot for the sequels.

I still want my money back...

It appears to me that the II is often the best film. Not always ofcourse.
After number 2 sequels usually go downhill fast.

For books there are no rules.

Games have gfx that improve all the time, so it depends on how much of a gfx-whore you are wether the sequel is better or not.

Chronicles of Riddick > Black (or w/e its called)
Pitch Black was awsome tbh, but as a whole Riddick is better aye. Pitch Black's story had way more potential.


oh and:
Toy Story 2, wich is like the best animated movie ever. yeah I said it.

I don't get the people saying Metroid Prime 3. Prime 1 is infinitely superior. All the best bits of Prime 3 are more frequent in Prime 1.

On topic: Alien vs. Predator 2 was better than the first, though both are shit.

Jak 2 > Jak and Daxter. You can do so much more and Jak's character is so much more badass then in the first one.
No way. Jak 3 > Jak and Daxter > Jak 2.


Also. Kingdom Hearts 2 is better.

A what? Kotor 2 cannot be better than Kotor 1!! nothing can.. although it was a good game the team were never allowed to finished the game and Kotor 1 is just the most godly game known to mankind.

oh and RA3 was pants dude, the expansion wasnt even multiplayer ffs, the rest of the games you mentioned tho xD (y) i agree lol

This. Jak and Daxter is my favourite platform game series by far. they switch from the disney sponsored romp of jak1 to jak2 ripping shit up with claws and guns...then there is the wings and bullet time of jak3. Damn that series was good..
