FEAR and Ultimate Alliance come to mind. With FEAR 2, it felt almost like a completely new game, wasn't scary or shocking and I hated the film grain effect on it. For UA, it just came down to the number of characters and certain other mechanics. Can only carry over characters on a harder difficulty, level 60 cap, fusions really weren't needed at all, much shorter game, etc.

Fable, hands down. Didn't have the urge to keep playing as I did with the 1st, which I really enjoyed. I'll get around to it, one day. I second Max Payne too. The original was a memorable classic and it's sequel not so much.

umm... Resi 4 isten times the game Resi 5 is. Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but what I really wanted was 10 hours more of Resi 4.

Less rambo, more "HOLY **** I'm running out of ammo and I don't want to waste my rounds cos I dunno what's around that corner or in that room that looks like a hell hole, who know's whjat's gonna jump out at me through that rickety looking door or what's gonna scare the bejesus outta me because I just don't wanna use that last green herb before I find a red one so I can combine them and stop limping and then, if i can stop sweating, try and survive the hordes of ZOMBIES with just a pistol and a shot gun, What the hell are KIJUJU or GANADOS anyway? what the hell was wrong with ZOMBIES?! BoW's and GIANT KILLER PLANTS?!And where thehellIS thatarmour key?! And I sure as hell hope that's NOT chris's blood?! I wish I'd taken that "lock picking" class with Jill, Damiit! This is soooo lonely.... I'm sooooo scared and sweaty, and itchy....

Saw friend... ugly face... killed him.

Itchy... tasty...

Anything after Combat Evolved was just not up to par, also I liked NBA 2K9 better than NBA 2K10 which isn't really a sequel but you get the point lol.

Thank you, finally someone that agrees with me. Since the original MGS, I haven't seen another action game that actually had a story as complete and engrossing. In my opinion it's the best action game of all time. All the action games today are shooters. MGS is reason it took me awhile get into games like Halo and Gears of War because of their lack of a story. Don't get me wrong both games are great shooters, but just imagine one of them having an engrossing story like MGS. I my opinion that would have of made those games two to three times better than what they are today.

KOTOR 1 was slightly better than KOTOR 2. RE4>RE5. However, unlike movies, I think game sequals are almost universally better than the originals.

I agree. Most of the time game sequels, unlike movies, are better than their predecessors, but there are those cases where the original is the best. Kinda like how Halo CE blows the later incarnations out of the water, but that's just my opinion.

Game sequels are almost always better because at that point, the technology is better, the gameplay and game engine has been refined and past complaints are usually addressed. But if gameplay is tweaked a bit too much and/or some controls are slightly changed, some people just can't accept change from what they are used to, and fickle gamers will tend to hold strong with an original game over a technically superior sequel.

A lot of if is nostalgia as well. Just try and convince a fan of the first three RE's that RE4 is the best game in the franchise. It won't happen. Many gamers have really great memories of the early titles in a franchise, and when they take a significant turn like RE did, they refuse to excpet that is is a turn for the better.

In my opinion I feel that NFS Underground 1 and 2 are way better than anything that came after them. Then again I haven't played any beyond Carbon because I hated carbon and it completely turned me away from the series.

Rainbow 6 Vegas was much better than RB6V2. And Halo Combat Evolved is better than anything that followed it. ODST is the first one that reminds me of the original.

The original Halo is still better than Halo 2 or Halo 3. Combat Evolved was just so awesome to play with friends at LAN parties and such. So many good times.

Also prefer Call of Duty 2 over Call of Duty 3 (garbage) and CoD4 (sick of it). I think 2's multiplayer is better than CoD4. Campaign is also better.

I have a few. Not necessarily that I didn't like the game, but I just thought the sequel wasn't as good as the first:

  • FFX > FFX-2 obviously. I loved it and had a lot of fun playing it (I think I'm one of the few people who actually did like it lol), but it wasn't even close to FFX
  • GTA SA > GTA IV. GTA IV got boring really fast for me. Very disappointing. Also, CJ > Niko
  • DMC3 > DMC4. I loved DMC4, but I still liked 3 more.
  • Prince of Persia Warrior Within > The Two Thrones. Again, I loved TTT, but WW was my favorite in the series.
  • Xenosaga Ep. I > Ep. II. Episode II was good, but I was much better. III was great though so it redeemed II a little bit.
  • Zelda Ocarina of Time > Majora's Mask. MM is still one of my favorite games, but it can't hold up to OoT.

There may be others but these are the ones that come to mind.

Condemned 1 > Condemned 2

Monkey Islannd 1 > MI 2, 3 & 4

RE4 > RE5

Metroid Prime > MP 2, 3 & Hunter.

Those are the ones that comes to mind right now but the list is way longer (I'm working right now and don't have time to think about it).

I agree. I enjoyed MGS a lot more than MGS2. The Tanker Mission in the second one was awesome, but it was only about 20% of the game. The rest of the game was just not that great...felt a lot like the missions from the original game.

Naked Snake is who you play as in Snake Eater, and Snake isn't old in MGS4, he has a disease, but you can get face camo to make him look younger....if that helps?

But I do have to say, I enjoyed the first Ratchet and Clank way better than I did all the others.
