The Greatest Video Game Sequels of all Time?

[Michael-5]

Tally the results!

Golden Sun: The Lost Age Probably the only game on the list where the sequel isn't noticably better then the first, but hey, this franchise, back on GBA was epic. Best JRPG franchise for handhelds. It's really designed from scratch to play and look amazing on the GBA, similar to Dragon Quest IX, but the graphics seem to be much more optimal

Mario Kart 64 Another amazing 2D-3D transition. Mario Kart 64 is my most played game, and I still prefer it over any other Mario Kart. Best, and most innovative tracks, great item selection, and challenging without being outragous. Best Mario Kart, by FAR!

Mario Party 2 Mario Party 2 fixed all the bugs with Mario Party 1 and improved the game, without adding a ridiculous amount of content, but doing it by quality. How often can that be said for any same generation game? MP2 is the best of the franchise, and it went downhill (hard) from there.

Mass Effect 2 Never seen a sequel with a poorer story play so much better. Amazing pacing, graphics, and just the level of quality and the depth of human conversations is unreal in this game. Real excited for Mass Effect 3

Metroid Prime Let's just say, no other game has ever transitioned from 2D to 3D so majestically. Well, maybe Zelda, but damn... no side scroller ever went this great in 3D, and no shooter ever has been able to mimic that sence of isolation and desparation as this game.

Pokemon Gold/Silver New types, new region, nearly double the pokemon, and to top it all off, the original game was added as a bonus. WOW. Pokemon has never seen such a polished sequal since, and likely never will. I mean, new types and still a great plot. This game managed to hold the fanbase and keep them exceptionally happy. Working on Heartgold now and I just love that I can have every Legendary from both Gen 1 and Gen 2! I hate how new Pokemons not only have Dragon legendaries, but limit you to one legendary per game.

Resident Evil 4 Let's just say Resident Evil 1 is an amazing game, with dated gameplay. Resident Evil 4 is an amazing game with amazing gameplay. RE4 made Resident Evil an amazing singple player experience.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Most will object, but I think Majora's Mask is better then Ocarina of Time. A much less generic story, with a pretty bizzarre plot, one that actually gets you to focus since you have a 3 day time limit.
