Terrible entries in great video game series

Any game fortunate enough to be a hit will at least be considered for a sequel. Sequels almost always sell better than the original, and can eventually grow to become a beloved franchise. We’ve seen this since the very first video game characters like Mario and Pac-Man. Today, the majority of releases are somehow connected to huge franchises that can have dozens or more entries. At this point, there are some series out there that are older than a majority of the people playing them.
