For Gameloft fans (and haters) I compiled a list of their games and what game it is copying. If I missed something feel free to ad to the list or correct any error.




Hero of Sparta I/II = God of War

Shadow Guardian = Uncharted 2

Modern Combat = Modern Warfare

Zombie Infection = Resident Evil IV

Eternal Legacy = Final Fantasy XIII

Dungeon Hunter 2 = Diablo

Sacred Odyssey = Zelda (N64 and Wii)

Starfront - Collision = Starcraft Series

Brain Challenge = Brain Age

Gangstar = Grand Tefth Auto

Blades of Fury = Soulcalibur

Asphalt = Grand Turismo

Skater Nation = Tony Hawk

Shrek Kart = Mario Kart

Star Batallion = Starfox/Starwars

Nova = Halo

Order & Chaos = World of Warcraft



I personally don't have Idea how they get away with that without any lawsuit. Specially since games like Resident Evil IV are available on the iOS.

Starfront right now is US$0.99 and a steal at that price imho. Yeah it's a blatant ripoff but ya know what, it's fun. As are many of their other games...

Sacred Odyssey and Eternal Legacy are also on sale at .99 too.


Yes they are ripoffs but they are quite fun. I enjoyed Zombie Infection More than the real REIV on iPhone. I love REIV on Wii but on iOS the Controls suck Zombie Infection got the controls Right.


I am hoping that their WOW clone is good. I have been waiting for the real WOW for a long time and it seems Bizzard has no intention of making it. Well I also hope it uses GameCenter instead of a paid-for Gameloft service.
 
Yeah I haven't really checked out those other ones you mentioned. It seems that Gameloft gets a bad rap with their games. I think maybe they make them too similar which causes people to be unhappy but I don't see it like that. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
 
I do miss their forgotten original content. Like Siberian Strike, Midnight Pool, and Gulo's Tale.

The bad rap they get is because they just not get Inspired by popular games, they make almost exact copies and just change the characters a bit.

Gameloft makes great games, I don't think they need to copy other games in other to sell well. They would do as well or better with original titles. They could still get some inspiration from console/PC games but not copy them.

Anyway their games are great fun. And we can enjoy them until they get a lawsuit.
 
Anyone here played gameloft original titles before the iPhone existed? I used to play a lot on the Morotola Razr.
 
I am not againts taking inspiration in something, but some of their games are copied right to the details of the characters and story.

Agree.

I love zenonia by Gamevil. It is obviously Zelda like in the gameplay mechanics and art style, but it has a different story and original characters.

Gameloft could do the same. They have talented programers and artists. Maybe they need to hire some script writers.
