Sequels that failed...

Although this game should be in the General Games discussion - most of the games I'm going to mention are sequels that came out on Xbox 360 that didn't, or won't be as good as their prequel.

In my opinion, Perfect Dark for 360 WAS TERRIBLE. I remember the original Perfect Dark and I spent COUNTLESS number of hours playing that game. So when I seen Perfect Dark Zero was coming for the 360 I was so excited, until I played it...

I really hope the new Duke Nukem and Golden Axe game are great. I remember playing Time to Kill over and over again for my PS1, as well as Golden Axe on Super NES. I hope the sequels are just as good!

What sequels, in your opinion, failed or disappointed you?

Hmm good question. There have been some sequels that have disappointed me, but I don't consider those games failures by any means. For example, Silent Hill the Room was a let down and wasn't as good as SH3; However, it was still a decent game. I also thought Virtua Tennis 2 and 3 were not as good as the original on the dreamcast. The PS2/PS3 had more disappointing sequels than the xbox 360 (Tekken 4, Final Fantasy X-2, Star Ocean: till the end of time, Chrono Cross, Fighting Force 2).

Of what I've played, the only game for the 360 I played that was a complete failure was Fuzion Frenzy 2. That was definitely no where near as good as the original for the xbox. It wasn't even fun to play.

The worst sequel on the 360 was Fuzion Frenzy 2 for me, those minigames are so BORING and tedious that it was hard for me to play most of them, felt like a huge waste of time.

Call of Duty 4 was good, but it wasn't true to the Call of Duty spirit.stappy

What the spirit of being a mediocre war game, call of duty 4 was a great FPS and i believe it enhanced the series

I am unsure how people enjoy perfect dark zero. The game is so bad I threw it out one day while cleaning my room because a sequeal like that didn't even belong in my game library. Not only does it not live up to the sequeal I think its just a bad game overall and am confused how it got a score higher than a 4.

Even the coop feature and 4 player splitscreen didnt save it. You can seriously unload 2 clips of pistol ammo to someones face and they will just roll away.

As a huge huge fan of COD1 and 2 (played them on pc constantly) I disagree, cod4 IS the BEST of the series.

Knights of the Old Republic 2

I absolutely loved the first one but I just couldn't get into the sequel. The story sucked.

I meant to say Falcon, and here are tips to do headshots, watch this video:

No reason to be unsure, its called opinions.

Personally i enjoyed Perfect Dark Zero a lot. Great shooter that ive replayed quite a lot on the 360.

I can see many people turned off that game because of the difficulty, but i really like that. The game didnt hold your hand like halo3 or most other shooters these days.

Plus, up the difficulty and you get more new fresh objectives. How many shooters have that nowadays. Not to mention it has some of the best created virtual guns in a game yet.

I actually found it really really easy, halo 3 holding your hand? Up the difficulty. I just thought it was poorly designed, boring level design. Boring weapongs

Well then, you are one of the first ive seen thinking perfect dark zero to be easy :)

And bad level design? You like linear games? :)

I liked the level design in perfect dark zero, gave it a sort of hitman gameplay, where you could approach each mission in many different ways.

But we are just down to a different view on the games, opinions. I loved the weapons in perfect dark zero. They felt awesome to shoot in my mind, and they looked like you could almost reach out and touch em.

Most enemies in the game are wearing body armor, and its not realism the game goes for, so no need to get angry for it not being realistic.

It can be tough to get the enemies down if you dont hit em in the head, but with quick headshots they go down with one shot, and i find that very satisfying and fun.

Never played the first Mercs, but Mercs 2 was a big failure.mrgab

KOTOR II (Knights of the Old Republic II) This game epic failed! Sorry for my language. Technical bugs a plenty, slow down issues, and a down right confusing (and dumb) story let me down so badly.

That'll teach me to not buy sequels to games that are amazing.

Yeah, I'm calling it.....Fable 2!!!legendaryryanj

Won't fail, just won't live up to hype is my prediction... yet, I would like my prediction to fail because Fable has potential.

The story sucked because lucasarts rushed obsidian to release it before it was finished. which also means that they did not have time to fix the bugs and glitches.
