What you get is that some games that had large 2D worlds seemed to get compressed in their 3D outings. This isn't as much a problem nowadays, but in the early days of 3D rendering, it was pretty widespread.
Be aware though, sometimes good 3D video-game adaptations are accused of this, mainly because the [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|fans don't like to see their original product change]]. Notice that very similar games with no ''"2-D prequels"'' were often well received.
On the other hand, when this trope was common, not being in 3D could also invoke [[
Do not confuse with [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]], which is about the ''reception'' of such games.

Line 34:
* After an extremely successful run with ''[[Gabriel Knight (Video Game)|Gabriel Knight]]'', the series went through two separate clashes with this trope. The first sequel had full-motion-video ''gameplay'' in a 2D environment, while ''[[Gabriel Knight (Video Game)|Gabriel Knight]] 3'' went into 3D. While both sequels had strong storylines, they were very difficult to play.

Line 61:
* The first eight ''[[Might and Magic]]'' games used sprites for NPC's, monsters, trees, etc (in a 3D world in 6 thru 8) and were quite good. ''M&M 9'' was fully rendered. It was also full of bugs, had ridiculous looking characters with flat faces, trees with a few 'blades' of leaves, and a UI with a fraction of the functions of its predecessors.
== [[Shoot
* The nearly-forgotten ''[[Gradius|Solar Assault Gradius]]''. It's a perfectly fine game, but it's arcade-only and hard to play using emulators. All subsequent entries in the ''[[Gradius]]'' series went back to 2-D.
