Same Engine? Same Gameplay? Same Basic Features? In a New Game?

I didn't want to do any finger pointing on this thread, but I guess I have no choice. Notice all those games you listed are console games. Leaving the "PC>Console" argument behind, it'd be nice to know exactly how those consoles were supposed to give developers the choice of expansion packs. Now that the consoles are wannabe PCs, expansions through online download/install to HDD are perfectly valid and possible. Yet it's still not happening. At least developers had an excuse back then.

That only addresses the second list I made. There is another list above it you've ignored. 

Indeed, I have not much to fight with on your 1st list except for reviewer scores:

Banjo Kazooie 92% (granted)

DOnkey Kong 64 64%

Tekken 75%

DIno Crisis 83%

Perfect Dark 94%

Wipeout 90%

DDR 89%

Castlevania 93%

 

Only 5 of the ones you listed were rated at 90, and I'd put them as the best ones I can think of as well from that generation.

The "sequel" issue however is painfully obvious in today's day and age.

Being rated above 90 was not part of the criterea you laid down. Let me quote you:

Do you remember any game lebeled as a clone would automatically be labeled as such and the grading would automatically start off at 6 points, and THEN the reviewers and people would start marking down for problems in the game?

Nowhere in that was 90+ a point you were trying to make. It seems the threshold was 60% and anything above that proves you wrong.

Also Donkey Kong 64 is sitting at 87% on Gamerankings and 90% on Metacritic just to let you know. I don't know where you got your percentage from.
