Games That Should Not Have Sequels

What games have you played that you want developers publishers to not make into franchises (not because they were bad games)?  
For me I'd say Brutal Legend, I was surprised to hear there were even plans for a sequel. 
EDIT: I should have mentioned, it has to be a stand-alone game, not a franchise. 

Final Fantasy IV. Here's why.

Final Fantasy games (and add the 'spinoffs' of KH too I guess).
 
I thought the idea of each FF game was that they were each their own contained story. It seemed to work fine. However, just looking at what they did to FF7 and the KH series makes me weep. Not all the games were bad mind you, but when you keep pumping out titles for stories that honestly don't need it, the originals lose their magic.

Bioshock

" Bioshock "

inb4 All of them 
 
That said, I feel a direct sequel of Deadly Premonition would be...difficult to make.

Jade Empire. There's been rumours floating around about a sequel for years, but it's the only Bioware RPG I really didn't like.

Well, I feel it's different when he works at the publisher of the game he's talking about. "

Assassins Creed

Tetris.  It was right the first time.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

" @Redbullet685: Indeed, though I still don't think it should have Bioshock in it's name. It's a different game! "

" Assassins Creed "

Crackdown 2! I almost think Left 4 Dead 2 should not have happened. I almost feel like they should have taken that game and released is as a huge expansion pack to the original like they used to do with games. So you've got the original Left 4 Dead, and then Left 4 Dead 2 as an expansion that adds a lot of great stuff, and hopefully mixes that into the original. They are starting to treat Left 4 Dead 2 the opposite way, with adding in the original campaigns into 2.

Call of Duty, and I haven't even played the first.

All games should have sequels. 
Sequels are the best thing to happen to the game industry and game players.

two worlds 2. the first one was a horrible game. i said this like million times before and i'll say it again, the graphics were horrible, the voice acting was horrible, the game play was just press trigger buttons to kill. the graphics were horrible. they looked like last generation graphics. the game lagged like hell. the voice acting was horrible. the character would randomly just laugh for no reason. i don't know how to say this but the audio sounded weird. it sounded like background noise like if you put your speakers all the way up but didn't have sound coming out.
 
bioshock 2. i never played it but it's like you play as a big daddy killing stuff. the newer bioshock looks good. it seems like it's in the same universe just not really a sequel. instead of it being in water, it's being played in the sky.

bioshock 

Tetris.

Mass Effect 2.

final fantasy is a obvious one and im sure many people have already stated it here.  i would say Red Dead Redemption.

why the fuck would anybody want to play as Jack?

Desert Bus.

God of War.

We didn't need Chrono Cross. 
We didn't need Bioshock 2. 
We didn't need any of the Silent Hill games after the third one.  The Room was a neat side story, but that didn't actually need to be a SH game.
 
I don't to ever see a sequel to Shadow of the Colossus or Vagrant Story.
Or a direct sequel to Eternal Darkness. I would like a spiritual successor, but not something that continues that exact storyline.

Star Fox or Sonic the Hedgehog because all of there sequels with a few exceptions have been crap. Star Fox 64  and Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, 3, and Adventure. Just remake the classics and put Fox back in an Arwing and Sonic on a 2d plane.

Puzzle Quest
Bejewled

Red Dead Redemption. The game ended so perfectly and cut off any loose ends. I would say Call of Duty, but Modern Warfare 2 had an epic story and quite the cliffhanger. 
Oh and there needs to be a new Rainbow Six game!

.. meh this would be too easy to start an argument, so I'll just gracefully bow out and admit that you win. "

 white knight chronicles

The Force Unleashed should have stopped. Also, while I am really, really excited for Arkham City, Asylum didn't need a sequel.
