i hated the new one for several reasons. There was one on the gamecube, i admit, the campaign was kinda boring, but there was one multiplayer map where its a giant tree fort, and on the ground are a buncha crazy lil dinos. it was fun seeing how long you could survive. but nooo, the new turok doesnt have split screenllewgriff said:

I think a game that has gone very much downhill is the Tony Hawk's series, which is quite ironic 
(downhill/skateboarding pun). In the days of ps1/2 they were my favourite game and they got better with every instalment up until THUG.
Personally, I very much enjoyed THUG as an experience but looking back, it did ruin the series in a way: it detracted from the original, pure method of skateboarding to a time limit to reach a rigid set of goals and made the game more into a story-orientated adventure game.
Tony Hawks Underground 2 was just plain ridiculous-who wanted to play as a wheelchair-bound kid or a skeleton on a go-kart: it just wasn't what skateboarding is about whatsoever. It was also completely unrealistic.
To be honest, I stopped playing there but judging by reception the following games were just as bland and un-original as THUG2.
One can see why Skate is now the dominant force in the skate-sim market: it took skateboarding back to its roots with innovative controls and realistic situations.

Super Smash Brothers - Brawl is not different, they just got rid of all the best gameplay elements and try to make it up by throwing in all this other stuff. Not only that but they didn't get creative with any of the challenges and that made the super long adventure tedious. Seriously, what type of fighting game gets rid of combo's?
Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess is not a bad game however Ocarina of Time is perfect and the rest weren't.
Starfox - Starfox 64 is still a great game but every game after that doesn't compare.
Command & Conquar - Generals did everything right and Tiberium Wars did everything wrong!
Mario Kart - Oh God! What the hell were they thinking? Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 are almost perfect but the rest, I know they are making some changes but the last 2 sucked!
Sonic - The highlight of this entire thread.

It was'nt so much the optional missions that i didn't like (they were some of the best bits of the game), but the story missions later on in the game just annoyed me. The added features of needing to eat, working out in the gym and training with guns were fun and new at first but quickly got boring. In the end I went back to GTA3 for some good old fashioned mindless violence =)
I'm not saying San Andreas was a bad game, it kept me entertained for a long time. But it was the point in the series when everything started to go downhill - until eventually we got GTA4 which was more like a life simulator than a game. If that's what some people like, good for them and hope they enjoy it, but for me I prefered the style and gameplay of earlier GTA's.
Mostly RPGs. Final Fantasy is losing its touch. .Hack really didn't need anything more than its first storyline.
Command and Conquer has also gone way out of line with the release of Red Alert 3. I mean, even the first Red Alert was actually related to the tiberian storyline. Generals was also just an independent RTS with the name Command and Conquer slapped on it.

Solid.
But what HAS gone downhill?
Resident Evil.
In layman's terms, 4 killed the genre and 5 tee-bagged the corpse.
I think Pokemon just how many bloody pokemon do they have, or if they have to create some more atleast do not make them look like a 6 year old did them, i mean atleast have a few that look bad ass, and stop adding evolutions to pokemon
Except GTA it went from 3 which was awesome to Vice City which was incredibly better ... then SA which had incredibly fun modding car thing then ... IV which had good and bad points, it is a lil slip in qualityLordSnakeEyes said:
Correct. Except i would say that LoZ : MM was an awesome game maybe not as good as OOT but not a bad game either.Nazulu said:
I'll admit, I can't think of any game series I've played that have truly dissapointed me. Yes, the first game is usually better in all series, but I can't think of any sequels I really hated, save Metal Gear Solid 2.
I guess the best I have is the Elder Scrolls series, because Obliviion was a huge disapointment. It was easily one of the most flawed, unpolished and unimersive gaming experiences I've had. However, since it's the most recent game in the series, I can't say whether it's actually gone downhill or if it's just a one time mistake.

They cant remember their own song but they can remember each money bag they collect for each new "colour" and new generation of Pokémon.
I wouldnt be suprised if a decade down the line Fire Red Diamond and Leaf Green Pearl are coming out...
