The end product can be good or bad, but simply copying a good game doesn't make yours a good game also! What are your favorite & least favorite games which rip off others? Here's mine: Favorites (no particular order) The Simpsons Road Rage (rip off of Crazy Taxi) Sonic Drift 1 & 2 (rip offs of Mario Kart) The Simpsons Hit & Run (rip off of GTA 3) Bomberman Tournament (rip off of The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past) Puzzle Kombat (rip off of Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo) Least Favorites (also no particular order) Socket (rip off of Sonic The Hedgehog) Fighter's History (rip off of Street Fighter II) Karting Grand Prix (rip off of Super Sprint) That is all I can think of for now... What are your views on this subject?

Most of the songs on the latter are in the soundtrack to MHPBMX2. As for least favorite, I don't think I have any most-loathed rip-off games that I can think of.

princess of power 3 years 3 months ago Posts: 534	Favorite rip-off (although some may argue that it's not a rip-off), StarTropics. Concept is a little too similar to Zelda.

Gemini Guy 3 years 3 months ago Posts: 571	I always liked CTR and Diddy Kong Racing which were rip offs of Mario Kart. And War of the Monsters, which seems to be a Godzilla fighting rip-off (not a 100% on this).

Oldschoolgamer83 3 years 2 months ago Posts: 1360	My favorites would definitely be the Saints Row games, if you're going to copy GTA, at least get it right, and those games have.

yellow_submarine 2 years 10 months ago Posts: 695	I grew up with knock-offs. Once in a while, my dad would let us grab a PC or console game, it was usually in the cheap rack or used. I didn't know the difference. My friends and I would find fun things to do in just about any game. If there was a racing game that included any kind of damage or destruction, we were content. Serious Sam was one such game and that got pretty popular.

Oh yeah, definitely. One of the best rip-offs ever made. Especially with all the crackiness they tend to put in it. Also, I don't know if this counts as a rip-off or not, but the Lucas Arts Sim game Afterlife is great. It's like Sim City, with Heaven and Hell, and funny helpers that snark each other. It's a lot better than it sounds though.
