The best sequel

[Urban Ranger]

So, just to complete the survey.

What is the best sequel you have ever played? (Reviews you read don't count)

For me, it's Star Control 2.

You have my wholehearted support in that assessment.

Is this just "best game that happens to be a sequel", or "sequel that most improved upon the original", or what?

X-Com, the first three were great. Space one not that good.

SMAC obviously (it's actually the sequel to civ, not civ 2)

Other notables include Spinter Cell: PT, Wolfenstein: ET, and Rallisport Challenge 2.

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

Biggest improvement: Unreal Tournament

*a few months from now* Halo 2

Probably not what you had in mind, Zero... I guess it's the best expansion I ever played - Brood War.

Best sequel for a console... mmm Final Fantasy 2 (American) really blew away Final Fantasy for me. Final Fantasy 3 (American, is it the one with Locke, Terra, Mog, etc?) were even better. After that.... I wasn't too happy.

I hate to be this harsh, but how many times were you dropped on the head as a child?

Original X-Com: Goes down in gaming history as an awesome game; prolongued contact could probably save you from a range of nasty diseases as well as helping to save your immortal soul.

Various X-Com sequels: Absolute filth; liable to give you the black death by mere contact.

FreeSpace 2. The original was very good, but the sequel was better in every way, which says something.
