Not always, god no, in cases like Tony Hawk, I was happy just getting a slightly refined version each time. Then Skate came along and made the tony hawk games look awful. That being said, I can't think of a way to improve on skate. I'm more than happy with them refining the mechanic and getting new levels. We just need to weary, sometimes they aren't refining, but just feeding themselves the same stuff. But it isn't always bad. You don't need to re-invent something all the time. You can make improvements.That being said, I can fully agree, that more risks should be taken, and things can stagnate fairly quickly.

I was really hyped for turning the franchise on its head, only to be disappointed when the game turned back into the same old Splinter Cell(but worse.)
