Strong Sequels?
Author
Personally, I find most sequels to games are rather un-imaginative and weak. However, of the games I''ve played, (not many), the Final Fantasy and Dark Forces series are in the rare group of games with amazing and radically changed sequels.
What are your opinions?
The Exile series (www.spidweb.com) was cool. And SimCity just keeps getting better and better, as do many Blizzard games.

Final Fantasy seems to be going down hill.
FF8 wasnt that great. And now square think they can mass produce rpg''s, by starting different development teams on the next 3 games in the series....sorry I''ll believe it when I see it.

The best sequel I''ve ever played is Civilization II (which is also the best game ever 
).
Most sequels are really bad (Quake 2, TR 2 - 4, Carmageddon II), the developers doesn''t seem to have put that much work into the games... Sad.

I have to agree- most sequals do in fact suck. However, the Final Fantasy series has a GREAT line of sequels... but can you really call them sequels? None of them have anything to do with each other, but I believe that the FF series is indeed a strong one. FF7 is my fav. FF game, but FF8 was terrible! Anyhow, as for a TRUE sequel- Syphon Filter 2 just came out, and it''s an awesome sequal! It''s (rare, yes) better than the original!

I just want to make the point that a lot of the problems with sequels are NOT due to crap developers. They''re almost always under pressure from publishers to get a ''quick & easy'' sequel out for the next holiday season after the original to maximise revenues.

And yet when you take the time to do a sequel right, as we''re doing with Duke Nukem Forever, you have another large group of air heads crying, "Why is the game taking so long -- it''s going to come out late and will suck, etc."
