"The Best Sequels"

There are so many sequels in games today, the recent releases usually consist of so-and-so 2, or thingy 4, and so forth - but which of these spawns of the original games do you think rocks more than the others out there?

I'd have to say GTA Vice City (without sounding like a fanboy), as it's thrown the GTA series from its birds-eye-view pixelated layout, to a beautifully rendered 3D world.

Other series's I think have improved since the originals include Age of Empires 2, it's just the best strategy game ever, if you disagree with me you are wrong.

However other series's seem to get worse as they go along. The Fifa series peaked with Fifa 99', a gem of a game, but the more recent Fifa titles lick balls - off the ball control? What!?

So, what sequels are good and which ones drink man mayonaise?

Bad Sequels: Devil Cry Two. Fifa 99. Fifa 2000. Fifa 2002.
Good ones. Resident Evil 2. Pro 2, Pro 3.

Is the only I can think of.

I think all the resi evils were good, especially resi zero.. although that was a prequel...

Best sequels:

Project Gotham Racing 2
Jet Set Radio Future
Rainbow Six 3
Command & Conquer Red Alert
Microsoft Flight Sim series

Bad sequels:

Tomb Raider Angel Of Darkness
FIFA games
Myst 3: Exile

I'd probably have to agree with Biggles on, well, all of his choices!

Future (inevitable) kick-ass sequels as you know will be Half Life 2, Doom 3, Halo 2 etc. *Maybe* Quake 4, haven't heard too much about that one yet.

My Choices:

...

I really can't think of any yet!

I'll pop back when my brain regains the ability to operate...

Final Fantasy is probably the only game which keeps improving throughout sequals

Medieval Total War.

THAT is how to do a sequal. Not like Vice City.

well i think final fantasy games, and devil may cry 2. must be good for me to collect so insanely.

Command and Conquer Generals - definitely.

The graphics are absolutely stunning, compared to it's utterly shat predecessors.
