Top 10 Overrated Video Games with Surprisingly Underrated Sequels
Nostalgia bias aside, Metroid Prime 2 was EASILY just as good of a game as the first one (okay, maybe it was a LITTLE less good, but only by one or two extremely miniscule and superficial tenth-decimal points on a scale from 9/10 to 10/10)
Prime 3 is weak compared to the other two but STILL an absolutely top-notch game in almost every way
Again, Bioshock 2 was just about as good as 1, with Infinite taking the franchise into an astonishingly fascinating setting the likes of which had probably never been seen to quite its extent in video games prior to its release
Chrono Cross may have completely butchered the storytelling aspect (which honestly wasn't even THAT great in CT to begin with), but gameplay-wise, as far as having to use actual strategy and not just mindlessly mash the attack commands all day goes, it was MILES better of a game
Again, Fallout New Vegas and 4 are basically the EXACT same thing as this game in almost every way (and no, that's really not a bad thing either)
Between it and the other two installments of the PS1 Final Fantasy trilogy (VIII and IX), most definitely
Assault and Adventures, enough said
If this game is really as well-executed overall as Dawn Of Sorrow, then I'll be a monkey's uncle (believe me, I've played both games to completion)
Again, specifically for the original NES trilogy
Castlevania II: Perhaps an incredibly bad game by today's standards, but for its time it was just about as revolutionary as Zelda II was
Castlevania III: Actually even BETTER than the first one, and by quite a large margin at that
