I didn't play much of Invisible War (I'm just won it on eBay...should get it in a week or so), but I thought it was pretty good. I suppose I was a bit quick to say it's noteworthy, since topping Deus Ex is a pretty tall order. I shouldn't have included it, but it wasn't by any means one of the worst sequels.

IGI has a sequel. Doom 3 wasnt bad just different, which is a good thing. Psychonauts needs a sequel. Zone of the enders needs another game in the series. The movies needs a sequel. The Sims must end...rzepak

IGI has a sequel? What is it? As for Doom 3, it was so hyped, but it just ended up being another dark corridor crawler. I remember thinking Doom 3 should be awesome, but it wound up being too generic and boring. Zone of Enders would be awesome. Also, I forgot to mention Mortal Kombat 2 and Street Fighter 2 were both awesome sequels. (edit) Also, Legend of the Dragoon needs a sequel badly.

Best Sequel: Majora's Mask

Moon_of_Majora

That is the correct and best answer possible.

Game that needs a sequel: Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean(BK:Origins was a prequel)

I actually think it's quite a good game, but it's a poor sequel.

It's as though they took each feature of Deus Ex individually and said, "How can we make this worse?"

I'm kind of surprised to see a few people say Half-Life 2 is one of the best sequels evermade. I put it on my honorable mentions list, but Half-Life 2 didn't improve on Half-Life in every way possible. Quite frankly, I much prefered the original Half-Life to Half-Life 2. I'm not saying Half-Life 2 was bad (quite the contrary, Half-Life 2 was one of the best games I've played), but I enjoyed the original Half-Life more.

Also, I thought of another game that needs a sequel: Jade Empire. Anyone besides me want a Legend of the Dragoon sequel?

Best Sequels:

Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn (One of the best games evar, of course one of the best sequels)
System Shock 2
Pikmin 2 (Everything good about Pikmin times 2, and everything bad taken away)
Unreal Tournament 2004 (huge improvement over Unreal Tournament 2002)
Super Mario Bros. 3
Civilization III (One of the best TBS games ever made)

Worst Sequels:

Deus Ex: Invisible War
Unreal II: The Awakening
Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire
Metroid Prime 2 (Good game, but the backtracking is freaking painful)

Best: Warcraft 3

Worst: don't know

Ones that need one: Star Wars Republic Commando

best
MSG 2
RE 2
GTA 3
GoW 2
HL 2

NEED

Best: MGS 2, GTA 3, Baldur's Gate 2, Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, Street Fighter 2, Resident Evil 4, God of War 2

And I would like to see sequels from Legend of Dragoon, and Dead Rising.

And I would like to see sequels from Legend of Dragoon, and Dead Rising.

Yes! Someone finally said Legend of the Dragoon. I've been waiting to hear it from someone. I'm terribly surprised it took so long. Due to sales and reviews, though, I doubt Sony has any desire to make a new Legend of the Dragoon. Despite a fanbase that thought Legend of the Dragoon was awesome, most review sites thought it sucked, and the sales weren't very good for the game. Too bad, really. It really was an excellent game.

This thread really reminds me that I need to go back and play more MGS2.

Anyway, I can't think much of a best sequel, but Super Mario Galaxy's the best one I've played in a while.

Worst? This year, Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s. Some of the songs are still fun, but it's wrong to charge $50 for only 30 songs, especially since I don't like a lot of them.
