I watched my mate play a demo, I was totally bored because I don't like this type of game. But you forgot to mention the storyline, from what I have heard it is trully superb.

Donkey kong (i wouldn't count the Donkey Kong games)

Mario brothers 1 Mario Brothers 2 ( a very different game) mario brothers 3 (like the first).

Mario World (a revolution in itself), Mario world 2: yoshi's island (not actually staring mario and a different type of platformer).

Mario land 1 and 2 (gameboy versions of the above lot different titles but these games were just small versions of the bigger guys.)

Mario 64 (a 2D platformer to a 3D world is this a sequel?)

I counted 8 (excluding Donkey Kong).

But still lots. {:) Mario Bros 1 and 2 (maybe more), Super Mario Bros 1 and 2 (maybe more), Mario 64-notice that the main reason people don't class them as sequels is the change of name. Adding 'Super' to the front for instance.

We don't! I've got lots of new games on the PS2: Smuggler's Run, Red Faction, Zone Of The Enders, Star Wars Starfighter, Max Payne, GTA3 and anyway, MGS2 is not the 'same old', at least gameplay and graphics-wise. More controls, weapons, new plot, characters etc.

I would say there's a nice balance between sequels and originals, and a sequel will work as long as there's some new elements involved. After all, sequels usually come after great originals.
