Diddy Kong Racing > Mario Kart 64.

So true.
Mario Kart 64 was amazing, but Diddy Kong Racing was just that tinyest bit better.

 

[Labombadog]

Although Super Mario 64 was the revolution of 3d games in general, I truly enjoyed Banjo Kazooie more.

 

[professor_t]

Wait, did Naughty Dog say that Uncharted was an "imitator of" or was inspired by Gears of War? The games bear almost no resemblance. Or is this just Sony fanboys trying to say our new IP(enis) is bigger than your new IP(enis)?

Anyway, I can't think of any games that haven't already been mentioned. Bollocks.

 

[Andronicus]

Gears of War> Killswitch

 

[Wray]

Quake > Doom

Also...

Spoiler

Chess > Checkers

Quake says hello /wave

 

[pseudocaesar]

Quake says hello /wave

Argh I was just about to post that.

 

[Labombadog]

Quake says hello /wave

Eh, sorry I meant for platform/adventure games.

 

[Shrennin]

Digimon World=Pokemon

I can't say it's better, but I definitely had as good of memories with DW as I did with Pokemon (Red, Blue, and then Yellow).

Also...

Donkey Kong 64>Super Mario 64

 

[UraMallas]

Infinite Undiscovery > Star Ocean 4

 

[Barrage]

I enjoyed Wolverine Origins more then either God Of War titles.

 

[BrLvgThrChmstry]

kill.switch > Gears of War 1/2

 

[autobzooty]

inFAMOUS > Spider-man 2? :lol


Seriously though.

 

[kuYuri]

Duke Nukem 3D > Doom

 

[Digital-Hero]

Duke Nukem 3D > Doom

LOL

Doom > Wolfenstien

 

[Raist]

Okami > Zelda
CTR > MK
GoW > DMC

 

[rollingstart]

I think someone on the first page made a joke about how people are listing two games that are vaguelyrelated by genre. Several pages later now and it seems like he was spot on.

RC Pro Am > Forza 2

Space Harrier > Resistance 2

 

[sykoex]

Streets of Rage > Final Fight

Couldn't agree with this more. IMO SoR murders FF in every category. Gameplay, visual style, music, etc.

 

[Yoshi]

Diddy Kong Racing > Mario Kart 64.

Banjo Kazooie > Mario 64

bring it, fuckers

Super Monkey Ball > Marble Madness ^^


And absolutely wow @ people thinking Spyro is better than Mario 64 oO

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

Sengoku Basara >>> Dynasty Warriors

This man speaks the truth! The Wii SB2/SB2H double pack has been my most played console game/s since I got them at release.

<-- *Anxiously awaiting the eventual announcement of SB3.*

 

[Minyobi]

Wild West C.O.W.Boys of Moo Mesa > Sunset Riders
(Though I can't say this counts, as they were made by the same company.)

Lucky and Wild > Chase HQ

 

[godhandiscen]

People call WAR and imitation of WoW. I like WAR much better due to the PvP.

 

[MrHicks]

crash team racing> any cart racer

which is sad as its 10 years old or something and still nothing that even comes close exists

 

[Melchiah]

Silent Hill 1-3 >>> Resident Evil series >>> Alone in the Dark series

Unreal Tournament >>> Quake III Arena

 

[Jtrizzy]

Uncharted 2 MP>MGO/SOCOM/Gears MP.

High Velocity Bowling>>Wii Bowling.

 

[Fafalada]

Master Of Orion  >   Civilization
Puzzle Quest     >   Bejeweled
Killzone 2       >   (Whatever) Of (Whatever)
Trash Panic      >   Tetris

There are probably more, but just a few I remembered right now.

 

[Jtrizzy]

NBA 2K series>NBA Live series.

 

[dazzgc]

oh shit i got one. lumines>tetris

the shooting mechanics are basically lifted straight from Gears, and the game is 75% shooting

 

[Kagami]

Gal's Panic > Qix

Significant visual improvements.

 

[Jtrizzy]

Uncharted devs said in a post mortem that they were insipired by kill switch.

 

[pizzaguysrevenge]

Saints Row 2 >>>>>>> GTA IV

If you're stupid.

 

[StuBurns]

Uncharted devs said in a post mortem that they were insipired by kill switch.

That's what they all say.

I think some people never even saw Kill.Switch. Yes it had cover, but it doesn't look anything like Gears, Uncharted took everything about their shooting from Gears. I really don't believe they took the cover from a fairly obscure, completely wank game that did nothing at retail, and happened to take the over the shoulder camera from RE4 exactly the same as Gears which was a huge mega hit during development.

It's a Gears clone with some nice exploration bits.

I'm not even sure which I prefer. Gears does the gameplay a lot better I think, but Uncharted has a lot of charm. They're about even to me, maybe leaning a little towards Gears though.

 

[dazzgc]

uncharted took the shooting from gears and somehow made it bad.

 

[undrtakr900]

PSO > Diablo II

My friends all played Diablo II but I was on the PSO bandwagon it was my first online RPG lost many of sleepless nights from it on Dreamcast.

Diddy Kong Racing > Mario Kart 64.

I wouldn't call DKR a ripoff of Mario Kart, their both in the same genre but the comparisons really end their.

They are basically the same game except with different characters/weapons.
Except I loved DKR more because it had:
* Planes + Hovercrafts
* Adventure Mode(explore the overworld like Mario 64)
* Boss Battle (Dinos, Octopuses and Pigs oh my!)
* Race different vehicle types against each other
* Upgradable weapons
*etc.

 

[8-Bit Soul]

And what game specifically is God of War a copy of?

Black Tiger, Capcom 1987, arcade

 

[karasu]

Uhhh... it was groundbreaking. Its use of the analog stick and successful transitioning of platforming to 3D was something completely new to console gamers. The graphics were also the best of almost any console game at the time. The only thing that was comparable gameplay-wise was Tomb Raider. Of course later games, like the Spyro and Banjo you seem to think are so great, would possibly be incrementally better! They were building on Mario 64's groundwork.

A genre redefining game the "definition of overrated"? smh

I didn't like it all.

 

[Timber]

Wack Wheels > Super Mario Kart

 

[Poimandres]

Universal Soldier >>> Turrican

 

[pswii60]

Monty on the Run > Manic Miner

 

[LiK]

I'm playing Ninja Blade right now and I actually prefer it to Ninja Gaiden II. Go figure.

lol, NB actually does some things right like having a useful camera. but i would say NB's combat engine is more like God of War which they copied pretty well.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Digimon World=Pokemon

To be fair, Digimon and Pokemon are different. Both only have monsters, but that's it.

 

[Haeleos]

Warhammer Online

 

[cartman414]

So true.
Mario Kart 64 was amazing, but Diddy Kong Racing was just that tinyest bit better.

No comparison there. But then, Super Mario Kart was still miles better.

Blaster Master > Metroid

 

[freethought]

No comparison there. But then, Super Mario Kart was still miles better.

Which completely invalidates the comparison since this is meant to be imitator versus originator. There's a few cart racing games I've never played so I can't speak to them but SMK is still the one I have fondest memories of.

 

[Jack Random]

Unreal Tournament >>> Quake III Arena

Oh no you didnt..

 

[Chemical O]

I don't know what i prefer it to, but Dark Sector is an underrated game.

 

[soldat7]

Okami

 

[migulic]

Okami >>> Zelda, definitely. Zelda is great... Okami was something new and great back when it came out.

 

[dmshaposv]

Rayman 2 >>> Super Mario 64
