10 Worst Video Game Sequels Of All Time

When a new video game IP is a hit, it’s an inevitability, like in any medium, that the idea of a sequel is going to be thrown around. In the instances we’re about to look at, though, there’s the general feeling that the developers should have spent a little more time working on them, because the results proved less than satisfactory. Some of the games were first sequels, while in one instance, the offending game was in fact the fifth direct sequel in the series, but whatever the genesis, all the following games share the same issue; the devs attempted to cut corners and save time, perhaps having to rush the product to its seemingly immovable release window. Some games had other, stranger issues, such as having to live up to the hype of releasing a sequel on a new platform, or catering their title to a specific audience, each excuse infuriating in its own right.

Here are, for whatever reason, the 10 worst video game sequels of all time.

DX Invisible war was ok not great but I would recommend it the Unatco level is pretty cool and nostalgic

Eyeco4167d ago (Edited 4167d ago )

Time to take one for the team, sorry 2pacalypse just to save people the time

1. Perfect Dark Zero
2. Bomber Man Act Zero
3. Driv3r
4. Super Mario Bros 2
5. Resident Evil 6
6. Duke Nukem Forever
7. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords
8. Devil May Cry 2
9. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
10. Deus Ex: Invisible War

Now discuss

LOL at DNF there is a weird sense of irony in that game however, you'd thin 14 years development time , they would have come up with something better than that, but in the same way the game was bound to disappoint after it hit 6 years and no show

FanboyPunisher4166d ago

Socom 4 would be up there too.

VileAndVicious4166d ago

hmmm...I think DMC2 was worse than RE6. But I agree with all the games on your list.

lol and I thought i was the only one who hated super mario bros. 2

Hanso4167d ago

DmC will be 1 of them broken ass combat

as a hardcore prince of persia fan i will say WW was not a bad game, but it just wasnt right, sure it upgraded the graphics and the combat was way better but it was to dark and grittya nd one of the things i love about the PoP series is that it doesnt need to be that, maybe thats why sands of time and PoP08 are my favorites because they focused on the character interaction between the prince, princess, and the villians, instead of the whole im angry, so lets be dark and gritty, and add blood, and curse.

bubblebeam4167d ago

Although I still had fun with Mario Bros 2, it was so weird. So different and stupid. At least they made up for it with SMB3.

KrimsonKody4167d ago

Because Super Mario Bros. 2 was a dream that Mario had...

thegamingadvisory214167d ago

Was not even Mario was just rehased and replaced with mario worst mario game ever, worst than virtual mario clash

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC5d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos5d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga5d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer5d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6025d ago (Edited 5d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya5d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde5d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP5d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Perfect Dark Zero - Unique Ideas, Flawed Execution

Perfect Dark Zero launched alongside the Xbox 360 back in 2005, to much criticism. 18 years later, is it worth another look?

x_xavier_x153d ago

Perfect Dark Zero was the first game that I purchased for my XBOX 360. I still have the game in my collection. I think I played it for about 45 minutes in total over the past 18 years. It's a really bad game, and I was so disappointed when I first fired it up almost 20 years ago.

zacly153d ago

I had fun with the mutiplayer. Didnt feel like Perfect Dark, but still had some fun with it
