Sequel Fever is a special feature by Chris Jones in Issue 30 of Sonic the Comic. The article discusses the increasing trend of video games receiving sequels and sets out to investigate the pros and cons.
Sequels are mentioned as being a successful idea in movies, so the idea to do the same for games seems to make sense. Ecco the Dolphin was considered to be a highly original game but was outclassed in the sales records by Sonic the Hedgehog 2, a sequel. Sports simulations are touted as being the games most likely to receive sequels, with NHL Hockey's incremental updates being analysed.
Jones then goes out and talks to children about sequels, getting balanced arguments from those either happy or negative towards them. He also comments that sequels are here to stay as they sell well, so original sequels are required so that experienced gamers don't beat them too quickly.
