Ah, I should probably explain what I think greater than the sum of their parts means to me.

It means that the overall harmony of the game's features and qualities results in the game being a far better experience than if you simply examined each part by itself. The game might have flaws, but those flaws don't diminish the experience.

For me, the Quest for Glory series is far more literal because all five games, taken as a whole, produce an experience that each individual game could not accomplish on its own, partially because of the character transfer feature between games.
