"All the PS2 is getting is sequels" used to be a great argument in the arsenal of the PS2 don't wannabees.

GT3 is a sequel. But for some reason I spend more time watching replays than I do playing it. (Tried putting your replays to music and watching they synched version? It's addictive.) There's no way I'd ever consider getting Gran Turismo or Gran Turismo 2 now for my PS2, they just don't compare anymore. Probably the BEST thing about it being a sequel is that it IS a sequel and I don't have to spend a lot of time relearning all the tracks again, so I can get straight into the game at high speed.

GTA3 is a sequel. But how different can a sequel be? It's better than Driver in that its got most of Driver's features, you've just got to find them, which makes everytime you play the game a bit of an adventure in that you start outside the hideout thinking: "Now then, shall I do a mission? Shall I pull off a unique stunt? Shall I see if I can shoot down a helicopter? Or shall I just have a wonder about and see what else I can find?" And it's soooo different than GTA or GTA2 that you wonder what's going to come along next.

MGS2: Sons of Liberty is going to be a sequel. If it's anything close to being as different to its predecessors as GT3 or GTA3, then the PS2 is going to sell like hot cross buns next Easter.

I can't see why everyone says the PS2 is nothing but sequels, I still think it's the updates we saw at launch like Ridge Racer 5,Tekken tag etc but even then SSX,Timesplitters,Smugglers run were original games.

If the sequels are like GT3,GTA3,metal gear 2 then I ain't complaining :-)

it's still crap though and yea one sequel out of what is it? 8 or 9 games that drastically changes the formula. that's not good enough

yea it annoys me when you hear people say *oh why is there no original games coming out* who gives a damn when you get great games like MGS2 and GTA3 coming or have come out. just those 2 games will be up there vying for best game ever title. as long as the game is changed enough from it's predecessor and isn't a fifa type sequel then it's all good

Who cares if they are sequels when they are benchmark games worthy of being called the best game ever on their release?
