Chrono Trigger - Chrono Cross
Super Mario RPG - Paper Mario


of course these are spiritual sequels

Legend of Legaia 1 to Legend of legaia 2

The first had a little better combat system and less cliché

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time to Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, they just lost so much of the charm of the first with the new direction they took.

FFX -> FFX-2 for sure
Shadow Hearts 1&2 -> Shadow Hearts 3 (although I didn't hate it exactly, and it had its fine moments, compared to 1&2 it lacked a lot).

FFX - FFX-2

Tomb raider last revelation - tomb raider angel of dark

Halo 2 - Halo 3

Banjo Kazooie - Awesome
Banjo Tooie - was... just OK

I haven't played the others.

Devil May Cry 1 & 3 were good, but the others weren't

GTA:SA is the only game in the GTA series I loved. The others were dumb IMO(except Vice city, which was kind of good, but not lovable).

Everything after the 2nd Gran Tourismo. I'm really tired of the license crap, and the handling. Maybe GT5 will change my mind again.

Modern Warfare was amazing, MW2 is full of bugs/glitches and all the maps suck

Driver 1/2 were amazing, Driv3r sucked nuts

Crash Bandicoot 1/2/3 were fantastic, after that the series has sucked (yeah I know its not Naughty Dog anymore)

Fable TLC had one of the best spell inventory and delivery systems I have played. Fable 2 has the worst. They refused to pay for Danny Elfman's score, reduced camera control for the 'cinematic experience' and abandoned longbows and armour for flintlocks and fancy hats.

Ninja Gaiden II also sacrificed camera angles and control for gorified presentation, ramped the difficulty up and the fun way down.

Agree on PoP:SoT > everything since. FS will reverse the flow of time, maybe. Surprised ESIV and Fallout 3 haven't been mentioned. I'm a bit disappointed in the direction the ME franchise has taken as well but love and hate are really not involved.

This exactly
