Top 10: Great copycat games

When I first played Lord of the Rings Online I hadn't played World of Warcraft. Now, after spending a fair amount of time in Blizzard's monumentally successful MMO, it's clear that Turbine's MMO does its best to offer a WoW-like experience. What really makes it stand out are its hugely impressive visuals (leagues ahead of WoW's now quite dated look) and Lord of the Rings lore and story. For fans of the books the game really is a treat.

Back when Mario 64 set a new benchmark for platformers and video games in general it was all the rage to jump on the 3D platformer bandwagon. Lots failed to capture even a fraction of the brilliance found in Nintendo's classic, but Ubisoft came up trumps with its excellent Rayman 2. The game first caught my eye on the Nintendo 64, but it was the excellent Dreamcast version that cemented it in my 3D platformer hall of fame. It's just a shame that recent Rayman games haven't come close to matching it.
