I really can't think of one series that is 100% perfect though.
what about Ico and Shadow of the Colossus? they are technically a series.
They are loosely connected, I wouldn't call them a series. The same way that Marathon is loosely connected to Halo, but they are not part of a series.
ah, touche

yeah Mortal Kombat, it was my favorite growing up then it hit 3d and sucked ever since. But in all fairness the entire fighting genre sucked ever since. I have yet to play a 3d fighting game that I like, they all blow and it upsets me. Can't they just go back to good ol' 2d?????

The whole "band simulation" genre, on the one hand you have Rock Band who has a good thing and has sort of adopted the whole "if it's not broken, don't fix it." Then there's the Guitar Hero series getting the good ol' Activision treatment, "You like this game? Here have it again with a different subtitle?"

Anything?

Zelda.
Grand Theft Auto (Go back to 2's style, please. None of this gritty gangster shit.)
Civilization.
Super Smash Brothers.
Elder Scrolls (Daggerfall, RIP.)
I humbly disagree, but we're all entitled to our opinions.
the sad thing is that my friends are still buying the games and thinking that they are the best thing ever. activision will do the same crap that they did with guitar hero for all there other succesful franchise. particularly cod mw 2. i call it the tony hawk technique.

i agree to me bioshock was the best game ever and the 2nd one looks amazing so far. I hope they don't screw up the game play though

Well...as for ones that aren't obvious *cough*Sonic*cough...I'd have to say that Final Fantasy Tactics series went downhill. The first one was great and actually had quite a good plot, but the Advance ones...they're just grind with no motivation to grind except to get stronger to grind against stronger enemies. The original kept you playing for the plot, too.

You must admit that the plot is crap at least. I understand the love of the grind, so I won't hate on you for liking it. I'm still going to finish Tactics Advance 2, but there's no rush as there is no plot for me to have to recall. Also, going to the Guild all the time is annoying as all hell.

Personnaly, I think Every game with a sequel gets worst with time.
Word. I'm most dissapointed by the turok series, the first two were awsome, however they just keep getting worse and worse. It doesn't stop me from buying them though due to my foolish optimism. *sigh*

i will admit that it was all a little loosely strung together but it held me for the entire game. i usually spent most of my time in it trying to finish all the missions. so i guess you could count that as grinding but at least it was more interesting than walking around to battle traveling clans :p

Well lets see
-Sonic the new game is just ... well its awful the little thing following you is like tattle but 10 times more annoying since it has lines for cut-scenes...
-Halo 1 was amazing 2 was even more amazing for online play 3 made me depressed and annoyed it was the second one but with new maps...that sucked
-Final Fantasy its high point was 7 and they shouldve stopped at 10 but noooooo they have to make more
-Pokemon its just so bad theres like 480 pokemon .... I still play it though
-Super Smash bro's the first one was fun and different the second was amazing the 3rd had sonic re-read 1
-Guitar Hero I dont play anymore because at first I thought it was awesome because your playing a guitar to the music... no your tapping buttons to a song your not playing guitar your playing a game.
-Burnout I loved it but when they changed it to the sandbox type game it just got me annoyed I cant race and know streets at the same time and then when I dont memorize my route I end up in the mountains when I wanna be downtown

I think I got all the ones that I want ...
