This doesn't happen often but Jet Moto 2 was just not as good as the first game.....
In current gen i thought the TR reboot was a better game than Rise of the TR.

Yoshi's Island.

Yoshi's Story was blatantly inferior in almost every way.
Same with its direct sequel, Yoshi's New Island.

That's interesting. I've never really noticed how game sequels tend to be better or at least equal to predecessors

Devil May Cry has the worst drop in quality from the first to second games I've ever seen.

Then the biggest improvement from the second to third games.

Super Mario Bros. 2
Neither version, US or Japanese, is as good as the first Mario.

Donkey Kong Jr.
Fun game, but not the classic as its predecessor.

Ninja Gaiden 2 (NES)
The gameplay is good, but the story unfolds like bad fan fiction. Surprisingly, it had the same writer whereas the third game had a new writer which actually progressed the story rather than taking the Die Harder route.

Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters
From a side scroller to a strategic simulator. Yay.

Okami. Part of it was just because of hardware limitations, but I also didn't like the plot as much and the fact that a lot more places and activities were permanently blocked off after reaching certain points in the game.

Alundra, Parasite Eve, Metal Gear Solid, MediEvil, Saga Frontier, Valkyrie Profile
Final Fantasy Tactics: Most people say Advance sucks (I don't), I think A2 sucks (Most disagree), but both are worse than the original.

That's playstation, maybe I'll do another system later.

It's not bad, but like I don't know how people are saying 2 is worse than 1.

1 is still a fine game but it's really quite rough, and even though they were impressive at the time, the graphics are very noticeably worse than 2.

Hell not even the graphics, but just the cinematography in the game is a joke as well. In 2 and (parts of) 3 it's on par with television and film.

The gameplay is very rough, the sidequests are rather dull, and some of the dialogue and vocal performances are off.

Even if the gameplay in ME2 is better than in ME1, everything else was worse. The story, the RPG elements, the exploration, the sidequests...

RPG stuff and story, sure. Exploration in that game is driving around an empty and barren area that is copy and pasted like 26 times. The story of most of the side quests are cool, but the act of engaging in those quests is bad. Mass Effect is my second favorite series and I still really like 1, but if the story and main quest wasn't so strong, it would be like a legit 4/10.
