Games are disappointing. Where in the world is my Virtual Boy 2?

So, why exactly isn't Crapzone 2 on the number 1 disappointing sequels spot?

The bloody flop was the biggest disappointment this gen.

Not so much disappointing but definitely over-rated and yes even MGS2. I'm a die hard MGS fan but MGS2 was great but not excellent.

What Crash Bandicoot Warped was awesome.
I drew the line at Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex.

If anything the Crash Series lost its zazz after Naughty Dog stopped developing it.

Talk about awful online play

What the heck. Crash Bandicoot 3 was the best of the ND Naughty Dog games. How the HELL could you not like Crash 3?
I admit, Crash 2 was more challenging but Crash 3 was platforming perfection, not only crystals from Crash 2, the gems were in and on top of that Time Trials and lots of moves that Crash learnt.

To me Crash 3: Warped was perfection.

I also liked Super Mario Sunshine.

Woah woah woah.

I agree with just about every game BUT Super Mario Sunshine.

That game was one of the highlights of the gamecube.

Just visiting all the different areas was awesome in itself, but it was cool that you had FLUDD to get you everywhere, replayability is really good for it, and the game itself is just so bright.

That was my favorite thing about Super Mario Sunshine actually, the brightness. It was just so awesome to pop the game in and just look all around the island, seeing the sun shine on everything, I just don't know how to explain it.

A bad thing about some games today, they concentrate on darkness, not beautiful sunny islands :/

the article author is a retard. Crash Bandicoot Warped was awesome.

also his MGS2 comment - "Oh, and the plot is bloody stupid."
if I knew he thinks that, I wouldn't even click on the source lol.

Can't agree more with Final Fantasy X-2, Fable 2 and Devil May Cry 2.
Final Fantasy X-2:
I wonder how a profoundly dark and sad story, with its evil secrets and massacres, can be a joyful pin-up game. It's hard to translate but FFX-2 is that kind of "meh" experience. However, i still took the time to finish it at 100%. But the game itself is an insult to the quality of FFX.

Fable 2:
I've already bashed enough on it. Fable 2 is merely disappointing with horrible glitches and lack of content. Fable was really nice but Fable 2 sounded more like a Fable 1.5 than a true sequel. And i'm afraid Crackdown 2 goes in that way too, a simple Crackdown with few enhancements.

Devil May Cry 2:
While in DMC 1st, Dante was really awesome, the organico-gothic level-design fitted perfectly with the character, but in DMC2, Dante was just silent, pretending to be that kind of silent badass. And the girl was just totally facepalm.jpg
The only thing i liked in DMC2 was Dante's coat, but even with DMC3 and DMC4, the first one remains the best.

For Metal Gear Solid 2, i wont say it was disappointing. I remember the time where me and my friend were expecting its release, we were really excited. But i didn't feel any disappointment with Raiden's part. Sure, it was weird, but it was still a stealth game with the same mechanics, and Raiden added some humor to that (when a soldier pisses on him and you call Colonel, or when Emma has strange dreams or meet Johnny, etc...).

The problem of MGS2 was the ending, it took me several times to understand it, and even there, i'm not sure i've totally got it. But MGS2 was really good, it was a technical jump and i had the same pleasure playing it as with first MGS.

gears of war 2 (online was terrible)
Resident evil 5 (please just go back to the roots)
Banjo Kazooie (why did they make it like that?)

mgs2 shouldn't be on there, in no way was that game dissapointing, maybe the metal gear rays battle but that game played with ur head so much that its awesome by default. aahhh Flash back , where raiden and snake had to snipe together to protect emma on narrow beam near the water in the bask glow of the sunset, that was an awesome atmosphere for that scenario

1)Ninja Gaiden 2-Terrible Camera,no story,very suspect A.I.Hopefully Ninja Gaiden 2:Sigma will address these problems(Story will be harder to re-write though).

2)Devil May Cry 4-Nothing more than a button masher with a ridiculous story.DMC5 won't be a day 1 purchase.

3)Gears of War 2-Multiplayer was a waste of Disc space.I'm going to buy it again once Title Update #1020 finally fixes the Online mode.

4)Peggle Nights-Addictive,but nothing new.

i agree that FFX-2 was a bad game. but to mock the battle system is just bs. the battle system was the best part of the game. even FFXIII is using a variant of it.

All time worst sequel= Cheetahmen 2, it followed in the footsteps of Action 52, which was the worst game (games if you want to call them that) ever made!!!! When it came out (action 52) it cost 200 dollars and was full of glitches, atari graphics and games that were unpassable or didn't work AT ALL. Though Cheetahmen 2 was not actually released, they were found in a warehouse. The cheapest one on ebay is 650 dollars if you would like to waste your money.

Mario Sunshine, FF X-2, Devil May Cry 2 and Driv3r are the only ones that deserve to be on that list of Disappointing Sequels...

Ratchet Deadlocked
Prince of Persia 2
Devil May Cry 2
Final Fantasy X-2
Fable 2
Soulcalibur IV

I think that's about it for me. I'm sure there are others though.

top disappointing sequels for me:

Blood Rayne 2
Final Fantasy X-2
Silent Hill 4
Resident Evil 5

Super Mario Bros 2, Devil May Cry 2 & 4, Final Fantasy X-2 (Why did they make this?)

um wat Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped was awesome

i agree with super smash bros brawl only cuz like 80%+ of the levels suck they move, twist, turn upside down, kill u, n sh*t

i agree with halo 3 only cuz of those item things like the shield and jumper thing etc.. i just think they r annoying and r unneccessary

the others on the list r tru i guess

gotta remeber this though.. thesegames aren't bad.. just disappointing....or not what you espected.. my cure for this.. don't expect anything adn take all information with a pinch of salt.. makes for a much mroe enjoyable gaming experience..hype kills alot of games and I refuse to get sucked in these days

Yo, you forgot golden axe for the ps3 & 360!
I was, so, so F$#@ING dissapointed! I won't even mention any Sonic title after Sonic adventure 2.... Tsk, tsk, Sega. What happend to you?!

and when are you gonna release a new streets of Rage?!

They also forgot to add Deus Ex Invisible War. Deus Ex was one of the best games of all time, with probably one of the worst sequels of all time. :(

Metal Gear? It can't be!!!

A 50/50 list if you ask me, some I agree, others not so much. I thought Crash Bandicoot 3 was pure awesome, the first game I played with a dual shock controller. Halo 3 I can sort of understand, it's my favourite game of the generation so far, but it could, and really should, have been so much more. Personally I really enjoyed MGS2, I clearly remember staying up until the early hours finishing it for the first time, great stuff.

Fable 2 doesn't warrant a place on that list in my opinion, I have really enjoyed it, more so than the first.

WHY THE HELL IS CRASH AND MGS HERE!? this article is a waste of time

MGS2?? WTF that was a great game! Just because you wont play as Snake doesn't have to mean that the game is dissapointing.

GTA IV should be on this list, it was a great game hyped to be the best game of all time, which it wasn't

Halo 3 on that list is blasphemy. Halo 2 was more disappointing than Halo 3. Article must be written by Sony fan.
IMHO: Devil May Cry 4, Call of Duty 3 and Resident Evil 5 were both recent disappointing sequels and deserve to be on that list.

Slightly unusal list. I suppose what makes a game sequel 'dissapointing' is almost entirely up to personal preference and what you were expecting.
