    I think Assassin's Creed II is an excellent example of sequel improvement. The first game was a lot of fun and had a very intriguing plot, but it could get pretty repetitive. There were a lot of small issues that weren't deal breakers, but were still pretty annoying. One of the most noteworthy being the fact that a top assassin freaks the smurf out when he touches water. Okay, he's got some thick robes and those weapons probably aren't very light, but isn't he overreacting a bit?

    Assassin's Creed II had a lot of "oh yeah the old animus had this weird water bug" and "HEY I NOTICED YOU PUT IN SOME SUBTITLES THAT'S PRETTY COOL *wink wink*" Ubisoft fixed pretty much every annoyance and took everything that was neat about Assassin's Creed and made it awesome. The gameplay improved far beyond everybody's expectations while the continuation of the plot was seamless.

    Stuff like that is why I love sequels :3

    Indeed. The world would not have been the same had they stopped at Grand Theft Auto 1, or the first Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy. Though I do agree that sequels are often milked as a potential for simply more money. But if they're made from the right angle they can be a great idea. And generally in video game terms they tend to get better as they go. At least for a little while. But sometimes they do need to learn to just let go

    Yeah, I want a Mirror's Edge sequel because I want to see how good it will be when they have had the chance to refine and polish everything, removing the problems from the first game etc.

    Mirror's Edge was a brand new idea. It's not surprising that it had some nagging flaws. (I love it, but it's hard to deny that the combat was annoying and there were too many indoor levels.)

    But this is why sequels exist. DICE is a competent studio. Mirror's Edge 2 has a lot of potential.

    That was amazing!
    Even though some parts seem like it would be hard to translate to a game, it was really well made.

    Wow, a 16 year old boy made that, that's pretty impressive!
