i'll second 47's reply. it's a good idea but you dont want a shitty sequel to an awesome game. Look at the movie Evan Almighty. Bruce Almighty ruled the balls, but Evan sucked 'em. So if you're going to  create another one, make sure you put TWICE as much effort and blood and sweat into it.

No.  Do something new.

even though you probably could make an even better sequal you shouldn't try then fail and make that ruin the first one. so really you shouldn't.

Just do all the things from the first game but better.

Hey, Evan Almighty wasn't too bad, just not as good as Bruce Almighty, which rocked.

If you want a good example of bad sequels, look at horror movies.

It's okay to have some alright movies that don't beat the first one (Saw movies), but if you try and make one better (Nightmare on Elm Street 2, which fails at this), you should take a new angle on it (NOES 3, goes for more comedy than scares, kicks ass).

Alexp pointed out that although DZD 3 was fun and stuff, it wasn't as funny as the previous games. I fixed it up a bit, made it funnier, and there you have it, better than the last two.

Keep the good stuff, increase it, kill the bad.
This is the key to sequel making.
