Two the same games one being the sequal the sequal will receive a lower score,


A game has to improve upon the original if it wants to receive a similar score wich is 100% fair. otherwise we would only be seeing constant rehashes like with the onimusha series

I agree. Gamespot tend to judge a sequel based on the 1st title. Which reminds me about the NON LOCK-ON issue regarding Monster Hunter Freedom series.

Once you make a game you have to have its sequel improve on it. If I didn't do better, it was a retread and a fail.

Well look:

MPO:9.0

MPO+:They didn't even review it.

But see what they did here:

Star Wars battlefront 2(PSP):6.8

Star Wars battlefront Renegade Squadron:8.0

I don't see how they gave Sonic Rivals 2 a lower score then the first one though.

I don't get MHF2's low score. Everyone is saying its an expansion pack from the previous but then why did it get low?

I don't think Monster Hunter 2 should been given such a low score. It has made numerous improvements upon the original and anyone who has played the two will know what I mean.

Want to know why MHF 2 got a worse score than the first? Different reviewers.

Oh, and it also wasn't a good game.
