Name a game where the game is better sequel to a previous game?
So my game would be Half Life 2. Half Life 1/Black Mesa was truly incredible but Valve some how managed to eclipse it with Half Life 2 and create arguably the greatest game of all time.

Yeah, some people don't like Half Life 2 as much but I really like the vehicle sections.
Bonk 2 Street Fighter II Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 Kirby's Adventure Mario 3D World (I thought 3D Land was terribly boring)
I'm one of those people that significantly prefers Majora's Mask over Ocarina of Time

Wait, what? I would say lots of sequels are better than the originals. Games aren't like movies, where number 2 is rarely better than number 1.

I agree with spenzoa. I think generally, most sequels outshine their predecessors. These come to mind: Ms. Pac Man Gran Turismo 2 Streets of Rage 2 Super Mario Bros. 2 S.C.I. (better than Chase H.Q.) Wipeout XL Riven Devil's Crush I didn't like Ys Book II as much as the first Book, though.

I always assumed when we say "Sequels" we mean the #2 in a series. Saying something that's like the 3rd or 4th in a series is technically considered a sequel, but I guess my small brain thinks otherwise. A sequel to a game could even be like the last game see Shenmue II, well... until Shenmue III eventually (hopefully?) gets released in 2019, lol But yes, I would say Double Dragon II, Dungeon Explorer II, Street Fighter II, Fatal Fury 2, and Panzer Dragoon II are great choices!! I also like Legendary Axe II more than LA 1, even tho I know it's not really a TRUE sequel in Japan.

Special, while technically a better game, isn't as big a jump up from 2. That's a hard one for me to pick which is better Fatal Fury or Fatal Fury 2. I owned both back when they were released for Neo Geo AES and have so much nostalgia for both of them. But I will give the slight edge to Fatal Fury 2, that game was just astonishing when it was released.

Mercs, so much better than Commando. I was just playing my beat up old copy of Mercs on MD the other day. Sega did an amazing job especially with how the FM synth chip was used to make a "clean" soundtrack for MD standards. Don't get me wrong, the MD was a songbird in the right hands like with Technosoft and Sunsoft. A lot of titles sounded "dirty" and not in a good way. But we're beating a dead whale with a crane here so I'll move on.

I don't play RPGs much these days (was obsessed with them in the 90s), in fact I don't play them at all these days, but I do have an urge to revisit this one, absolute classic.
