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?

I thought it was a glitch in the game and it took me bloody ages to find the Sniper. Such a sweet sweet start to the campaign, equally as impressive as the Normandy landing.

Ah, brings back memories. Remember the part at the port; the commander is handing out guns while you patiently queue up for one; and when it's your turn, you only get five bullets before being pushed straight out!

Oh the Normandy landing, find me one other memorable part of the game, Call of Duty is full of moments like that, especially on the Russian campaign.

Its not really worthy of a reply. Call of Duty was nominated for 36 different awards, including best sound, best FPS and best multiplayer of the year. You find me one review that states that Call of Duty is a step back from the Medal of Honour series.

look at the graphics, they are much sharper and much more detailed than the COD game, as well as the sound is much sharper especially from a longer distance than just a mumble and the gameplay is much more supreme. Have you ever done the normandy landing????

COD > MOH. There is no area in which MOH is better at all.

Right, you still haven't given a good reason to how MOH is better than CoD.

yup i failed every history exam but thats not the point. the point is MOH AA is a much better game than call of duty, i mean sure its good but it just doesnt compare. Also EA may have been in a rush ti make the game but it still ended up better than call fo duty which had time to do it. Besides the sound of the guns was taken from the actuall weapons themselves.
