I am ashamed. Never played either. I would pick up a Vagrant Story copy in 1.2 seconds flat if I saw it, and the only reason I don't grab TWEWY is because I never warmed up to portable gaming.
One of the all time greats.

I got Vagrant Story like 2 years ago, really cool game. There were some elements I didn't care for but it is a very unique interesting game.

Now that's one I played...but couldn't finish. Camera work gets too frustrating.
I think this was one of the biggest surprises I've played recently. I was very addicted to this game.
I know this game didn't get very good reviews, but it was one of the best for me because I'm such a huge fan of Ghostbusters. Usually, license games are horrible but this one was very good. I posted this because I'm quite sure we'll never see another good Ghostbusters game like this ever again.
George Kamitani/VanillaWare games. No modern 3D technology, polygons, or CGI cut scenes, just pure hand-drawn masterpieces.

That boy needs therapy. Actually, he needs LKS.
Anyway, one for Steel:

Stop it. I own it too, and it is inferior. Just agree for once (look into your heart) that RR1 is better.
Not perfect by any means, but oozes with style and deserves its place here because it's nothing if not "one of a kind" ... truly
killer 7 bitches, bugsy out.
ps ask thank you for mentioning those vanillaware games

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
I have a feeling this will one day get a sequel, but for the time being is unique
Also though there will be a DS game soon "it's an offshoot"
and lest we forget

Sorry. I guess I misunderstood the point of this thread. I thought it was about great games that never got a sequel.aspro said:Ravenprose said:Stop it. I own it too, and it is inferior. Just agree for once (look into your heart) that RR1 is better.
And I do agree with you on River Raid.
Thought of another. I know Ask and Robio love this too: Jeanne D' Arc
...and Raven, that's also the way I understand this thread. games that never became a franchise, but maybe aspro meant river raid 2 was too obscure to count, i don't know

And let's not forget this beauty. World of Goo is one of the few games in recent years that occupied my every thought during the time I was playing it, and for some time afterwards and it's truly one of a kind not just because it wasn't made into a franchise but also because there's nothing quite like it

Then I relaxed to the game. Let the computer control the top-screen character 'til I got the rhythm of the game down. Started to get addicted to powering up the pins I liked using... Everything started to piece together. The music started to haunt my thoughts. The art-style grew on me more and more and more. It dawned on me that here was a game that used EVERY. SINGLE. FEATURE. of the DS! Touchscreen? Check! Microphone? Check! Sleep mode? Check! Tag-Mode? Check! Tap, slide, drag, flick, blow... close the DS... so many creative tricks to this game to be discovered. LIFE LESSONS to be discovered! If you play through this game in its entirety and don't have at least SOME of the story resonate with a small piece of your persona, you would have to be DEAD INSIDE!
