 Way of Improving of Games ... sequels actually better than the originals. Could it be said that the Tomb Raider, EA Sports football series and many more are just ripping you the consumer off with the same game with just a different cover and a minimal 'lick of paint'?Dooyoo wants YOUR opinion! Are sequels better than the original, or are they just an easy cash in? Newest Review: ... games are always an issue, Bongo drums as part of the recent Gamecube game, Donkey Konga, are no more than a novalty. Yet use them in the up and coming Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, a platformer controlled via these drums, and you've got an innovative little number. It won't sell. Gamers want new Zelda's, new Halo's and new GTA's. It's a shame, the recent Zelda: Wind Waker was an innovative and ... more ... brave change from the ever foolhardy Nintendo. It sold poorly in comparison to its peers and thusly Nintendo suffered.
