EA tend to start with something good, then ruin it with an onslaught of crappier and crappier sequels. Need for Speed for example, first one was great, second was good, third was alright. Then we got about 400 NFS's on PSone late in its life that very hardly even playable. Now what is it? Need for Speed Underground, which is NOTHING like the original. Sorry racing around wonderful open locations, now you get replaced with ENDLESS wet streets in a crampled non interactive city.
Now Beetle Adventure Racing, THERE's an EA game that was awesome. Sorry, one title only! Here have some more Madden, Harry Potter and NFS. What's the thread about again? Oh, Mario Sports. Mario Dodgeball plz.
