Not necessarily.

You could have the original be crap and then the sequel be a great game, but not the best game of all time, wherease the best game of all time could only be a moderate improvement upon its predecessor.

Indeed Kuciwalker... for example Civ2 can be seen on one measure as the best sequal, but not on the other measure (it wasn't that much of an improvement on Civ1).

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Age of Empires II is one of the best sequals, and games I can think of right now.

Also, there is Caesar II that I have played like a total devotee. That game ruled every other management game out there.

Terror From the Deep wasn't that bad. The first was better in every way, and TFTD was even more buggier than the first, but it was still a pretty good game.


Being less than the best game isn't the same as being the worst game.

Taking a superb game, painting it a different colour, adding bugs so that some games couldn't even be played to completion and then calling it a sequel...

Oh wait, someone already mentioned Civ 3.

I guess if you played it first, it wouldn't be that bad.

But it's highway robbery, I am telling you. MicroProse put out this evil, mind-rotting, stress-inducing, computer-destroying piece of binary monstrosity masquerading as a sequel to gyp us off.

Rotten thieving scoundrels!

Civ 2 isn't so great.

It'd would be great if you played it first. However, as a sequel, it's only mediocre.

Bozo

As a standalone game, Civ 2 is very good. Great even. As a sequel, it's only mediocre. They missed the chance of completely revamping the population model and a few other things.

Exactly. As standalone, any Civ game is great because it is, after all, Civ. But Civ2 did miss some things it could do, added the horrible isometric view, so it doesn't IMO compete for a best ever sequel.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Well some are clearly viewing the thread as best game that happens to be a sequel, not sequel that added the most.

What if the first game was crap? Then the sequel could be much better, and qualify under Solver's or UR's definition, even if it wasn't as good overall as a sequel to a great game, like Civ2.

More structure needed.
