Top 10: Great copycat games

[  « Previous Page | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5  ]

Naughty Dog's excellent PS3 exclusive manages to take the best elements from a number of games - most notably Tomb Raider and Gears of War. Its jumping from platform to platform gameplay and exploration link it instantly to Eidos' Tomb Raider, but it's Gears of War that it has most in common with. Bulked up men and hard as nails alien creatures have been replaced with the slender lead and cocky enemies, but the cover system shows the game's true colours. While not as visceral as Epic's Xbox 360 exclusive, Uncharted offers PS3 gamers a great alternative.

While the original Forza on the Xbox could just as easily have been included, the second game is by far the better option. It doesn't take a gaming genius to see that Forza modelled itself quite heavily on Sony's ultra successful Gran Turismo series, but in this case the guys at Turn 10 managed to deliver a game that betters Polyphony Digital's acclaimed series. Superb car handling, brilliant visuals, plenty of tweaking options, genre leading online support and the most versatile customisation tool we've ever seen make this the best sim racer of all time.
