Sequels Are they really Sequels?

[Uncle Bob 0]

Has anybody else realised that most game sequels are just the originals wearing a new shirt? The gameplay is usually the same, but they just allow some different features.

 

Roller Coaster Tycoon

The second one is RCT1 with different levels, objectives and rides.

 

Age of Empires

Again the exact same, different levels, different units.

 

Driver

Only difference is: different objectives and you can steal cars.

 

this list could go on forever.

 

I know that some sequels are quite different to the originals, but i'm just pointing out that most of them are the same.
