Top Ten Video Game Rip-Offs

When a gaming company wants to have a successful and money making series, they sometimes rip off another successful video game series.
The Top Ten
1 Garfield GO rip-off of Pokémon GO

When I heard of this, I lost all my respect for Garfield

2 PlayStation All-Stars rip-off of Super Smash Bros.

I can tell that Sony hates Nintendo after Nintendo betrayed them for making a partnership behind their back. Sony decided to rip off Super Smash Bros with instead of Nintendo characters, they use PlayStation exclusive characters such as Kratos from God of War and Sly Cooper from the Sly series.

Yeah. Except I actually know who the characters are in Smash. You've got Mario, Link, Pikachu, Peach, Bowser, Ganondorf, Zelda, Samus etc.

I know, right! It is a complete ripoff!

Yay... A PS smash bros without Crash or Spyro...

3 Paccie rip-off of Pac-Man
4 Infestation: Survivor Stories rip-off of DayZ
5 Raven's Cry rip-off of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
6 Tattoo Assassins rip-off of Mortal Kombat

Dat is terrible name

7 Awesome Possum rip-off of Sonic the Hedgehog
8 Bubsy rip-off of Sonic The Hedgehog

Sonic back in the 90s was huge then so how about rip him off? Yeah Bubsy was a bad series with the first one being better out of the four games which is not saying much at all.

Lola and look what happened! Saga knows what to do with the sonic concept! Not busy!

9 Killer Instinct rip-off of Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat was a very successful game series which is the reason why we have ratings up to this day. So how about ripping off a bloody game with less bloody and weak fatalities? Killer Instinct is admittedly a good game but that's no excuse.

At lest killer instinct is not overrated as Mortal Kombat x's kombat pack 2

10 Bayonetta rip-off of Devil May Cry

I am a bit conflicted on this. Having the two game series created by the same person, Hideki Kamiya, might keep it from being a rip-off (keep in mind he stopped working on Devil May Cry after the first). I think he was trying to have another chance at that style but with a different company.

Although it may be seen as low effort on his part to attempt the same game again.

Sure Bayonetta is s great game but it still rips-off another great game series known as Devil May Cry created by Capcom.

I thought they were made by the same person. I read it in gameinformer. BayonettaBayonespiritual successor, not a rip off.

The Contenders
11 Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing rip-off of Harry Potter
12 Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal rip-off of Ratchet and Clank

I like looney tunes

13 Super Mario Bros 2 rip-off of Doki Doki Panic

I wouldn't call it a ripoff, since it's more or less the same game, only that the former has been Mariofied.

Doki doki panic actually ripped off super mario bros 2

Not really a rip off. Great game, though.

ActuallAction thought that they were the same game!

14 The Legend of Elda: Mockerina of Time rip-off of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Hold on, this rip-off actually exists? Well, that's a very peculiar title for a rip-off...

Gosh, with a title like that, I could have never figured out it was a ripoff of Zelda.

15 Sonic Shuffle rip-off of Mario Party

Why "precious stones" instead of the famous chaos emeralds?!

Can't be a rip off. It was co-developed by Hudson Soft.

16 Digimon rip-off of Pokemon

Digimon is an anime not a video game. Also don't be biased, if you like deeper into digimon then you'll realize that it's not a rip off.

Not even close.
Digimon never ripped off Pokemon but it maybe was inspired by Pokemon or maybe not but rip off? Not even close.

Pokemon's just the bigger catch-them-all franchise. Besides, a lot more games with this type of genre came out before Pokemon.

I always say that some stupid digimon (poopemon) rips off of Pokemon!

17 Kirby's Avalanche rip-off of Puyo Puyo

Sure you can argue at me and say Dr. Robotnik mean bean machine rip it off too but the thing is, both Puyo Puyo and Dr. Robotnik mean bean machine are owned by Sega. So it's not really a rip-off if it was made by the same company but Nintendo...what a rip-off.

18 Battlefield rip-off of Call of Duty

Call of Duty came first. Although boyfriend 1942 released BEFORE Call of Duty 1, Call of Duty one began development first

And that's when the Sony and Microsoft war began.

Actually call of duty is the true rip off

But battlefield came first... Right?

19 Super Noah's Ark 3D rip-off of Wolfenstein 3D

Wrong Super Noah's ark 3D is the exactly the same game as Woflenstein

20 Sonic rip-off of Mario

Sonic is NOT a Mario ripoff. They might share some similarities but I'd argue there's more differences between both franchises. Such as Chaos Emeralds, super/hyper forms, Shadow the Edgehog, and Dr. Eggman as a villain is also arguably different to. There's also the Archie comics which add different lore altogether.

Sonic was only made just because sega wanted a masgot for sega because nintendo gots mario

No sonic is better than Mario

Old enemy days...

21 Super Mario Maker rip-off of Little Big Planet

Both games have nothing in Common. Mario Maker only Make Mario Levels and nothing Else. LBP, Has More,

Whoever put this on the list is a dumb Sony fanboy

22 Luigi's Mansion rip-off of Ghostbusters
23 Paper Mario rip-off of PaRappa the Rapper

This is completely wrong paper Mario did not copy PaRappa the rapper

24 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations rip-off of Sonic Generations

Gameplay wise they are different. But the idea however, they rip-off...pretty badly. And you know what else? This is actually the weakest of the storm series. Ninja storm 3 improved but then Revolution came and it when a few steps back. Let's see if Ninja Storm 4 becomes a blast

I always think Poke Generations (that new card set) ripped of Sonic Generations.

25 Angry Birds rip-off of Crush The Castle

Crush the castle came first fun fact: crush the castle was an indie game
