    Best game within a franchise

    This was spawned from the IRC topic where we mentioned the best Zelda game. What are the top games from major franchises?

    Zelda: Majora's Mask/OoT (tie)
    Metroid: Metroid Prime
    Mario: Mario RPG/Super Mario 64
    Tekken: Tekken 3
    Final Fantasy: FFIX

    I'll edit in more as I think of some.

    I've never played FFIX so I don't know but, I think VII is a top franchise game too.

    Best game within a franchise

    soul blade/egde: soul calibur 1 ( i doubt 3 will beat it )
    unreal : unreal tournament 2007 wil be the best ( unreal 1 counts, cause it also has the same mulitplayer aspect)
    * Vs * franchise: marvel versus capcom 2 is still the best
    DOA: Doa3 ( after ultimate i missed brad wong )
    C&C: Red Alert 2/Generals ( ra2 gameplay/generals gfx)
    Devil May Cry: DMC1 ( although dmc3 comes very close)
    Metal Gear Solid: MGS1
    Splinter Cell: SCCT

    Best game within a franchise

    hmm, i think Tekken 5 is the best out of the tekken series. it has the most characters, i think a real good story for some of the characters, mainly the mishima clan and nina and steve. it also has devil within which i think is a real good idea, you get to unlock devil jin and replay it to get some rare items. the items in the game are also a great idea, lots of replay value for 1 player mode. also they have added some new combos for a lot of the characters. plus, it has the arcade modes of tekken 1-3. angel in tekken 2 OWNS!

    i like soul calibur 2 also, mainly for the same reasons as tekken 5, although namco stepped it up a notch for t5.

    goldeneye, need i say more?

    warcraft iii, man this is a great game. different, yet cool graphics, adding heroes brought a whole new dynamic into the game, especially online. perfect one player and multiplayer game.

    and a game i had a lot of fun with, ultima online: rennaisance. imo, one of the best mmorpgs ever made.

    Best game within a franchise

    Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
    Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy Tactics. I know its not one with the numbers 1-12, but its the most fun I've had playing a FF game. Otherwise, FF6.
    Megaman: Megaman 4
    Megaman X: Megaman X3. That was the last time an X game was both challenging and non-crap ( X4-5 were too easy, X6 was crap. Haven't played X7-8).
    Mario Bros: Super Mario World
    Sonic The Hedgehog: Sonic and Knuckles
    Ninja Gaiden: The X-box one. they're all superb, but the xbox one is just...omfg!

    Best game within a franchise

    Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy X
    Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
    (Super) Mario: 64
    Sonic: and Knuckles
    Dead or Alive: 2 Ultimate
    Street Fighter: Alpha 3
    Dragonball(Z): Budokai 3
    Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater
    Star Wars: Kinghts of the Old Republic (Battlefront 2 is shaping up to be a real contender)
    Vs. Series: Marvel vs. Capcom 2
    Megaman: Legends 2 (I personally enjoyed it, despite its flaws)
    Tekken: 5
    Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
    James Bond: Everything or Nothing

    By the way guys there never was such a franchise as FPS unfortunately (that would be awesome if there was though) , so Holy Angelic Light Ornament 2 has to go under the Holy Angelic Light Ornament franchise category and Golden Eye under James Bond.

    For the Final Fantasy, I'd go with 6 (or 3 in US).
    I dunno if Smash Brothers can qualify as a franchise. I mean, yeah, there are two games, but isn't that too small? Well, even so, I agree with Smash Bros Melee being the better.
    Warcraft, well, I didn't really like WoW, so WCIII for me.
    Zelda.... LttP (SNES)

    Zelda: Link to the Past (havent played and Cube ones ....)
    Mario: Super Mario All Stars! --- but Super Mario RPG a close 2nd....
    Final Fantasy- 7.... ohh but 6 and Tactics were super sweet too
    Sonic- Sonic 3 + Sonic & Knuckles
    Bond- Goldeneye, just for the sheer number of hours I played it.
    Xeno- Xenogears, accept no cheap prequel knockoffs!
    Tekken- TAG! Double the characters, double the strategy
    Ogre- Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
