Also apparently Castlevania? But im no expert

Also i can think of three movie franchises with the opposite perception of the second entry: The Godfather, Star Wars, and Shrek.

Yes this might be THE example of a franchise that isnt percieved to have had a sophmore slump.

I can think of a few that fit the billing; Doom 2, Diablo 2, Portal 2, L4D2, Civ2. I think those franchises all managed to take the original concept and actually improve upon it. There's probably more but those are the ones I could think of
