I can still remember how hyped I was to play Yoshi's Story when it came out. Yoshi's island was such a great game, I was expecting more of the same. I even remember hooking up my N64 to the big screen TV in the community room of my Grandmother's highrise.
What I proceeded to play, though, was so amazingly lackluster in comparison to Yoshi's Island, I still remember beating the game and being totally underwhelmed and slightly confused as I was expecting there to be more game to the game.
Up until that point I'd pretty much always assumed that sequels build on thier previous iterations and would always be better. I didn't know anything about how creative teams could come and go, and sometimes the magic of a moment that lead to a game being awesome might never be recaptured.
So what are the earliest sequels you can remember that just totally disappointed and/or shattered your perception of sequels always being better?
