10. Streets of Rage (based on Final Fight - 1989) 9. SimCity (based on Utopia - 1981) 8. Ms Pac-Man (based on Pac-Man (1980) and Crazy Otto - unreleased) 7. FarmVille (based on Farm Town - 2009) 6. League of Legends (based on Defense of the Ancients - 2003) 5. Angry Birds (based on Crush the Castle - 2009) 4. Candy Crush Saga (based on Bejeweled series - 2001-2006) 3.

GuitarFreaks, despite not being available outside of Japan, isn’t discontinued. The latest game in its series “Gitadora High-Voltage”, despite not released in some countries like North America, is still one of the most popular franchises in Japan. It’s a combination of Guitar Freaks and Drummania
@Retro Storm lol the first arcade version of bareknuckle was released privately in 89 before being released publicly. It was double dragon and renegade inspired rather than final fight
My favorite successful ripoff was Streets of Rage. Props to Yuzo Koshiro to composed the best soundtracks on all 4 games in the franchise. My favorite character was Blaze Fielding and I love playing as her.
"better than the ones they ripped off" Then why is Candy Crap Saga here? I thought the whole point of this list was games that are BETTER than the ones they ripped off, not WORSE. Fuck Candy Crap Saga. It's just Bejeweled with microtransactions.
Bejeweled 2 has an amazing soundtrack. It was popular when I was in art school from '03-'07 and I can't tell you how many hours I spent listening to it on repeat while I studied and worked on illustrations and paintings.
FYI, there are several other rip-offs that Watchmojo and Mojoplays didn’t mentioned, such as Nexon’s CrazyRacing Kartrider (rip-off of Nintendo’s Mario Kart) and Andamiro’s Pump it Up (rip-off of Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution)
@@devingiles6597 despite being very similar to early 2D Sonic the Hedgehog games, that’s more of a clone rather than a rip-off because it uses an HP system rather than a simple no ring knockout system
Both final fight and streets of rage are kaka franchises sengoku 3 from snk makes both of these look like Atari 1980 meeting neo Geo 1990s for the first time with updated graphics and has actually combos and air juggles
@Retro Storm 🤣🤣🤣 Streets Of Rage is the greatest. Final Fight is cool, but Streets Of Rage is the best side scroller beat em up ever. Especially part 2.
1 Ms. Pac Man was a sequel. 2 Angry Birds copying crash the castle ? Please that's like saying thats like saying NASCAR copied F1 3 Games like Bejweled were pretty big at the time, y'all love to reach 4 Minecraft came out in may 2009 infiminer came out april. Man this channel doesn't do research
rip off is such an idiotic way to trashtalk a game, so are all the rock bands a rip off from the first one? i shouldnt play bf or cod because these are half life rip offs?
Cant compare those two. Injustice is just dc fighting each other rather than cross brand. A better one would be mk vs dc which sucked compared to marvel vs capcom.
That Streets of Rage soundtrack is just superb.
FACTS!
The entire series has a badass soundtrack!!
Didn’t know that Minecraft was the rip off game. I thought it was the other way around lol
Yep, they totally screwed the guy who made the original game too.
basically the minecraft ripoffs are ripoffs of a ripoff
both released in 2009

Guitar Freaks is still going in arcades today, mainly in Japan. But Round 1 arcades in the U.S. have it too.
Can we please get final fight 4 vs Streets of rage 4 to settle this debate once and for all just asking for a friend America.
I find it interesting how Capcom has no interest in bringing back Final Fight. But they sure do like putting it's characters in Street Fighter games.
I remember playing crush the castle when I was younger. Lots of childhood memories there
lol is not a ripoff, they even hired DOTAs creator to help build it.
Streets of Rage was the best game of mine and my sisters childhood!!
All this time, Pong was a copycat... damn...
Both final fight and sor were created in 1989 although sor wasn't console released to 91
@Retro Storm lol the first arcade version of bareknuckle was released privately in 89 before being released publicly. It was double dragon and renegade inspired rather than final fight
Code Name: Viper, based on Rolling Thunder.
Streets of rage was my s...
I didn't know it was possible to make video games sound boring but this narrator succeeds
The only one I disagree with is Ms. Pac-Man because the original game is already the greatest arcade game of the 1980's
Ms Pacman, NOT Mrs Pacman.
Though you probably couldn't add them due to copyright reasons, there are some rom-hacks that deserve an honourable mention.
My favorite successful ripoff was Streets of Rage. Props to Yuzo Koshiro to composed the best soundtracks on all 4 games in the franchise. My favorite character was Blaze Fielding and I love playing as her.
Wow, I had no idea about more than half of these games being rip offs. Very interesting facts I see.
"better than the ones they ripped off"
Then why is Candy Crap Saga here? I thought the whole point of this list was games that are BETTER than the ones they ripped off, not WORSE.
Fuck Candy Crap Saga. It's just Bejeweled with microtransactions.
Yes, thank you
I love Guitar Hero that's my game for the PS2 because it has most of them!!!!
I’ve been looking for crush castle 🏰
Do you use emulators?
4:28 wait i think i played this game before. Also didn't know Angry Bird's we're Rip-off!?
7:12 Minecraft is rip off!?? Didn't know that!?
The 1st one wasn't down to the game but the owner of final didn't think it was good and he knew better than the gamers it made money but he knew best
It's Ms. Pac-Man, not Mrs.
Calling them as "Rip-offs" is so harsh.
Because a lot of the stuff are original.
If a rip off is better than the original, then they’re officially the original game.
Street of rage👍
Bejeweled 2 has an amazing soundtrack. It was popular when I was in art school from '03-'07 and I can't tell you how many hours I spent listening to it on repeat while I studied and worked on illustrations and paintings.
Candy Crush is just Bejeweld with microtransactions.
@@maddestmike5791 Uh... Yes. I know. The video said that. Have you not watched it, or....? Your comment kind of confused me. lol
Art school student listening to a bejeweled soundtrack. Sounds about right.
There's nothing wrong with League of Legends and Minecraft everything for god's sake!!
FYI, there are several other rip-offs that Watchmojo and Mojoplays didn’t mentioned, such as Nexon’s CrazyRacing Kartrider (rip-off of Nintendo’s Mario Kart) and Andamiro’s Pump it Up (rip-off of Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution)
What about Freedom Planet which is based on the classic 2D Sonic the Hedgehog titles for the Sega Genesis?
@@devingiles6597 despite being very similar to early 2D Sonic the Hedgehog games, that’s more of a clone rather than a rip-off because it uses an HP system rather than a simple no ring knockout system
Minecraft is 2009 not 2011
yes thank you it was 2009 but was still influenced by Infiniminer
@@virtuaconker85 they released in not even a month before.
Never knew streets of rage was a RIP off its way better my childhood
Duuuuude I actually remember playing Crush the castle god I completely forgot that thing even existed I think I played that when I was like four
Both final fight and streets of rage are kaka franchises sengoku 3 from snk makes both of these look like Atari 1980 meeting neo Geo 1990s for the first time with updated graphics and has actually combos and air juggles
Farmville? Farmtown? Both of these are based on Harvest Moon on the SNES by Natsume. Credit where credit's due!!
10 Rip Off Games Better Than The Original
League of Legends is here
Dota 2 players: *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
in fact, bejeweled is better than candy crush
Crush the Castle was fucking great, so much fun
You guys included too many cell phones games here. The entire genre of gaming is copycats.
RE and Dead Space
you forgot moemon
Final Fight wishes it could be Streets Of Rage.
@Retro Storm 🤣🤣🤣 Streets Of Rage is the greatest. Final Fight is cool, but Streets Of Rage is the best side scroller beat em up ever. Especially part 2.
I think you should set suspect mistery mansion that copied among us but i think is better
Only 10, certainly there are much more
Civilization vs Risk?
hytale based on minecraft
Empty
No Geometry Dash, sad
No I don’t agree with candy crush
Streets of rage is far superior than final fight
1 Ms. Pac Man was a sequel.
2 Angry Birds copying crash the castle ? Please that's like saying thats like saying NASCAR copied F1
3 Games like Bejweled were pretty big at the time, y'all love to reach
4 Minecraft came out in may 2009 infiminer came out april. Man this channel doesn't do research
Wait LOL was Ripoff?? Didnt know
always have been
You mean league of legends?
@@maxkingjoe5460 ye
Didn’t you guys just do a video like this like 3 weeks ago? Lol
no they did not
Final fight better, but SoR OK too
😕😕😕
rip off is such an idiotic way to trashtalk a game, so are all the rock bands a rip off from the first one? i shouldnt play bf or cod because these are half life rip offs?
Nothing wrong with enjoying a rip off. Just recognize it as such.
Minecraft wow
both relesed in 2009 minecraft was in beta
DotA is a lot better than Lol
Yakuza is way better than GTA.
ut not a rip off
Doesn't Count but Injustice is Better than Marvel vs Capcom In my own opinion
Cant compare those two. Injustice is just dc fighting each other rather than cross brand. A better one would be mk vs dc which sucked compared to marvel vs capcom.
The gameplay is very different as well. It seems like the only similar things between those games is the Superhero theme.
Sorry I disagree with this sor was its own game
Final fight was trash
dfy
