Why is it that some games are great and original, yet some are just copies that have been changed slightly from a game on an old console, shoved in a different box and sold as a new product! I wouldn't say something like that if there wasn't evidence to back it up, so here it is:
Everyone remembers the N64 classic Zelda. Well Zelda 3 is now out on PS2, oh no, it's just Dark cloud. There are so many similarities it's laughable. Link, hero of Zelda, has a very distinctive hat. Hero of Dark cloud has exactly the same hat. Not the biggest thing in the world, but it's the little things that you notice. The treasure chest, vital in any adventure game, is exactly the same in both games, as well as the way they are opened. Again not important, but you would think with the power of the PS2, They would have moved on a bit from the good old days of the N64. There are a lot more things i could put, but this is a chat room, so i'll let you make the observations!
F Zero X is another N64 classic, and another copy has been made. The copy has got to be the worst PS2 game ever invented. It's called Jet Ion GP, and it sucks. Its supposed to be anti gravity racing, something that was bound to be copied, but that's not what annoys me. On F Zero X everyone who's played it will know that to keep your shield up you need to stay on the pink at the edge, something Jet Ion has copied in the form of yellow in the centre. The cars look the same, the tracks seem the same, the whole lot is the same. I would tell people to tell me what they think, but i don't think they'll be able to because no-one has got it. I know one person who's got it, and even though it's only £15, it's worth about 15p.
I could tell you some more copies, but it's time to here what everyone thinks...

What about Maximo on the PS2???
To me, this game looks like a cross between the old SNES game 'Ghosts and Goblins' (or whatever it was called) and also a bit of Zelda.

If you want to go backwards, look at my tagline.
Anyway, Zelda 3 IS being released for Game Boy Advance, and claiming Zelda 3 is coming out on PSX/2 because of a character with the same hat just sounds so...stupid!

If Jet Ion sucks, it can't be a very good copy of F-Zero can it? Since F-Zero was a fantastic game...
