God damn ProBoards need to make more characters in topic titles, it took me ages to get a title that managed to fit in but made sense as well.
So yeah, what sequels have you played in a game series before playing its predecessor? I wouldn't count stuff like Final Fantasy 13 or Grand Theft Auto 4 as each game is more or less independent from the previous installent, so with that in mind some of mine are:
Killzone 2 (had it given to me) Fallout 3 (I have since played 1 and 2 and didn;t like them very much) Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (I've still not played anything earlier)
Come to think of it there are very few sequels I've played before the originals, I guess it helps being into video games when stuff like Tekken, Halo, Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid were first released. I'm interested to see what both our older and younger members post though, it should be interesting.

Age of Empires 2 made me go buy Age of Empires, two excellent games in my opinion. Dynasty Warriors 2 made me search endlessly for Dynasty Warriors 1 but to no avail. Crash Bandicoot too, I played number 3 first, which is the best one but then I went on to play 1 and 2

Like you, I played Killzone 2 before Killzone 1 Fallout 3 Resistance 2 Red Alert 2 Warcraft III (though it'd be hard to find Warcraft I & II) There's others most likely

Metal Gear Solid 4 I played before 3 Mass Effect 2 as I had a PS3 Borderlands 2 Deus Ex: Human Revolution (even though I think that's actually a prequel to the earlier games) Resident Evil 3, 4 and 5 Silent Hill series I've played all over the place

wow, this requires thinking. I played Saints Row 2 before Saints Row 1 Banjo-Tooie before Kazooie (I like Kazooie better and for some reason thought Tooie was the first one for the longest time oh well) and that's all that comes to mind really I'm lame.

God damn ProBoards need to make more characters in topic titles, it took me ages to get a title that managed to fit in but made sense as well. For sure, can be very annoying. - Tekken 3 - Never played 1 or 2 despite my brother having owned both of them.
- Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Serah > Light tbh.
- Crash Bandicoot 3 - Played 2 later, never played 1 and then played several games in the series afterward.

I haven't played many out of a series that I didn't play the first one first but:
Tony Hawk Pro Skater - Played the second one, loved it. Played the first one a few years later and was disappointed with how little was in it. The second and 3rd will always be the best ones of the series.
Jak & Daxter - Played the second one first for a short time, didn't care much for it, played the first one a little while later and fell in love with the first one. Still despise the second and 3rd.
SSX Tricky - Played it for countless hours a few years back. Loved it and just picked up the first one today so I might dig out my ps2 and play it for a bit when I get some free time.
Grand Theft Auto 2 - Played it for a bit. Didn't care for it as much. Never played the first one since reviews were saying it was pretty much the same as the second with different missions. Still haven't gotten fully into the series. Just picked up 4 and have Liberty City laying around somewhere so I might give the series another shot sometime soon.

Thought of another one, can't believe I missed it - I played Monkey Island 3 before the other two, despite buying all three as a collection. To be honest the graphics were so bad on 1 and 2 I never played either until years later when they got the HD treatment. Dynasty Warriors 2 as well, good shout there as I never played the original. I own 2, 5 and 7 so that's all over the place like Kane with the Silent Hill's.
