Tony Hawk 3: ^Trend continues. A Thrasher sequel could've stopped Tony in his tracks. The gameplay is sped up and frame rate completely clashes with the graphics. Its too fast, its not Tony, and it set the stage for all future games to be ruined. Why does this happen?
Grand Theft Auto 2 (but you might say technically 3 after the London pack): Huge letdown after being such a big fan of 1. Just a completely different game really. The peds were weak, the graphics were nice but really out of place, and the whole matchbox/real world vibe of the original is completely lost. What is leftover is a pissing match between 3 gangs, none of which really make it worth your while to woo. Considering how many dog the original for being a crappy idea with the view it had, this one really shows how bad it could've been.[/b]

I'm sorry, I must have had something in my eye, but I could have swore I read some horrible, horrible person talking negatively about two great games!
Tony Hawk 3 is too fast? Well, i've no idea what you mean by that at all, i've gone through the game and can perform tricks and jumps with utmost accuracy. In my opinion the first two were a bit slow...
Also, if it "set the stage for all future games to be ruined", then explain the millions of $ worth of sales, the hundreds of glowing reviews, and the thousands of excited fans? I know it's just my opinion, but I believe that the Tony Hawk franchise, while a bit too overdone, is a blast to play.

Actually, GTA II is one of my favorites. I have only barely played the first one, but I doubt too many fans were disappointed...altogether the game is a great timekiller and absolutely exhilrating if taken in small to medium doses. Example: the first red Yakuza mission in which you have to jack your Wanted level up all the way, kill a SWAT team, steal their van, and floor it across town before you're reduced to rubble.
