On principle *RIP OFF's suck ...

Were gonna take a look at games with the key concepts , game play elements or visual style from another title while it is common games share certain features .

There will be something dis-ingenuous or lazy about how the developers have gone about their work here these shouldn't be confused with spiritual successors that are designed in o marge to a series that may be lacking in recent release and for the record some of these games are actually pretty good it's just WE know where they got their Idea's..

NUMBER 5 - Quantum Theory (2010)

From the very first scenes the similarities to GEARS OF WAR 2 (2008)are RAMMED down your throat perhaps intentionally to benefit from the success of epic games sensations

A gruft muzzle bound Hero immediately blasts humanoid creatures from behind cover in a 3rd person perspective

Nothing like a bit of subtlety right ? .

even sid and thalena's animations look the same as Marcus and Dom all be it they have clumsier unfinished feel compared to the slickly designed world of Sera Further doubling down on the ON THE NOSE LIKENESS the Father's of the protagonists are almost the same character , Both are mysteriously absent and knowledge the perceived enemy have exploited I mean come on when the commonalities are that specific... you know somethings fishy.....

NUMBER 4 - Kasumi Ninja (1994)

If you never heard of this *MORTAL KOMBAT * rip off or the hardware it was developed for : then consider yourself lucky !
It and the Atari Jaguar are incomprehensible messes that flopped on a wimper
Developers hand made software eve-dentally forgot that Mortal Kombat's popularity wasn't just Its gory novelty but also Its slick controls which this game is sorely lacking
The Jaguars notoriously complicated controller compounds a clunky system - while move and sense are routinely -copied and pasted throughout a slap dash experience .

NUMBER 3 - DANTES INFERNO (2010)

You can put the over ark in narratives in this Hack and Slasher "and" God of War side by side and you could barely ever notice the difference, Cut scenes and stylized animation reveal that both Dante and Krados are Warriors who's wartime
atrocities forced the to gain redemption leaves their bodies emblazoned with symbols representing their sins , Each jak protagonists the proceeds to hack apart powerful Mythological Figures in grand set-pieces with a signature weapon I mean you know that's a hefty list of similarities rejoin society ruined ,
However this interpretation of Dante Alighieri famous poem starts diverting from God of War and how the boyishly shabby the core game play becomes in the later circles of hell ,you descend through a flaw that the exceptional disturbing environmental design could never really absolve.

NUMBER 2 - CANDY CRUSH SAGA (2012)

You'll be familiar with King they're the guys that make these saga freemium apps and there's a literal royalty of ripoff developers , They began with bubble witch Saga in 2001 a clone of Tytos BUST-A-MOVE before moving onto their imitation masterpiece Candy Crush Saga , Taking the renowned three-match Game play of the jewels and the art style of candy swipe , -King added an attractive sheen and a strategic depth and variation all while using their financial clout to bully anyone who might be alienated by this questionable tonality strategy.
This approach might not be moral but it's one that's been vindicated by over 5 millions downloads and the many millions more it's made for micro transactions.

NUMBER 1 - THE GREAT GIANA SISTERS (1987 )

Today we know Mario and Luigi as the definitive Italian siblings of gaming but there period where their status was threatened in the late 80's the NES and titles like * SUPER MARIO BROTHERS* were still extremely expensive and so this German plat former sought to provide and affordable experience for various systems, It wasn't in stores long - However
Nintendo rapidly noticed the first stage was a carbon copy of Shigeru Miyamoto's iconic design right down to the colour palette , block power-ups and mushroom-like monsters , while Super Mario Brothers features aren't wholly unique the game did popularize the genre giving Nintendo leverage to get Gianna and Maria removed from sale from certain stores inadvertently turning it into a COPYCAT cult classic .
