Today, we're taking a look at 5 superhero games that ripped off God Of War in the height of that game's popularity and beyond. Watch it for (redacted) sake. I broke my back over the past few days.

Watch the previous part in this series where I cover Dante's Inferno, Sonic Unleashed, Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow and more.

Heavenly sword, is a god of war knock off, if you haven't found it by now.
Ghost rider is an awesome movie so shut your mouth
what about the Prince of Persia's two thrones
Wolverine origin is one of the few cases when the tie in game is much better than the movie.
I'd also say ghost rider is better then it's movie counter part. Not as drastically though as wolverine
@@HunterForHire422 yeah the Ghost rider game is pretty solid too compared to its movie, I hope we get a triple A Ghost rider game in the future.
I’d say the same applies to Shrek the Third and the Lego Star Wars rendition of Episode IX
To this day the best wolverine video game, it's kinda sad. Can't wait for "Wolverine PS5 2024"
@@technicallya-samaurai3507 the trailer look promising I hope they keep the gory combat.
I can't remember where I heard it, but apparently "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" game had a couple of advantages as far as licensed games go. One is that the movie was delayed, so the game got some time to be polished up a bit. Two, Raven Software were already working on a prototype of a Wolverine game of their own before they were contracted to make a movie tie-in one, so they incorporated as much from that as they could.
EDIT: I remembered where I heard it. Always Nerdy's retrospective on this game.
Yeah the game was basically near finished and the delay gave them almost a year to just polish the gameplay, the psp version is a closer look on how the game would've looked like before the delay
@@literallyvergil1686 Heck the Movie got content from the Game
@@lewisaino woah really can you share what the movie got from the game
Fun Fact about the Wolverine game: It began development about the same time as the movie, but due to delays the game finished before the film's release and Raven was allowed to spend the extra time polishing it.
That's rare for an Acitivision title.
@@Gatorade69 that’s gotta be why it’s still so great. I replayed it the other day, and wow does it still hold up. Insomniac has a lot to live up to in terms of accurate Wolverine combat. I’m sure they’ll surpass it though, especially with story.
@@Gatorade69back when Activision was still good
Of course the only way a game ever gets polished is a mistake lmao
No, actually, it was supposed to be a standalone game. It was forced into a tie in game.
Wolverine Origins is a great game, the first time Logan's healing factor was properly showcased in a game and the combat was as brutal has you'd want Wolverine to be. Honestly, Insomniac should take inspiration from it for their game.
O they will for sure. Insomniac doesn’t disappoint
@@jingleballs9935 True, up to this point, all their games have been Homeruns but with this Gorey subject matter.....screw it, you're right, they got it covered!
@theoutlawking9123 I'm with you on that one. I don't think insomniac is going to make it as brutal as the ps3 one was. Maybe some blood here and there like in the Batman games but no more than that. Hopefully I'm completely wrong though
@theoutlawking9123 you're right, but from the news and updates so far, the Wolverine game is gonna be R-rated. Considering that they were able to get away with showing Venom's brutality in a Teen rated game, I think they'd be able to get down the gorey stuff in wolverine with it being r rated.
@@cosmic2750 Yep.
I love hack and slash games, is a shame we don't get them so often nowadays.
I don't think being a copy is bad necessarily... Being a copy and being a bad game is a different story. There are many games what take the genre hack and slash and make something incredible with it.
Agreed! Hack n slash is one of my favourite genres. I would really enjoy a hack n slash revival.
@@WastelandH Yeah that would be amazing! Well we still get them just not so often... Bayonetta 3 was good, we also had DMC 5, Astral Chain, Scarlet Nexus...
@@Official_RetroMania yes, at least the one we get are great, but I wouldn't mind getting more hehe
@@Official_RetroMania There's also Soulstice! Came out a few months ago and is very DMC-like, while adding a lot of its own flavor to it to really cement an own identity.
Lot about it to like, a few proverbial warts on it, but that's exactly why I would love to see it attain more traction-- so that the devs can make a sequel that improves on, and hopefully builds further, upon the fundament they have created.
I realise Hack and slash is also very easy to get into, same with certain side scrolling beat'em up's. They're just too much fun to play for hours on end. Maybe that's why I like them so much.
The Kurt reference is wolverine origins is meant to be an origin for Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner) who is blue like mystique and can teleport like wraith. Weird inclusion for sure considering it makes no difference to the plot and it’s comic innacurate considering Kurt’s father is the demon who they used in X-men first class.
If I'm not mistaken they allude to this in Days of Future past with Azaezel being referenced when Mystique goes to the Trask Industry scenes
Ghost rider was so much fun back in the day! The music, combat, and motorcycle missions were SO good!
Not to forget the ability to play as Blade!
The movie was so underrated. I grew up on that film 😂
Man I absolutely LOVED that Wolverine game when I was younger!
2007 was indeed a LEGENDARY year for gaming.
So many legendary games Bioshock, cod 4 modern warfare l, God of war 2, halo 3, mario galaxy, team fortress 2 and Portal
@@romanzupyk6942 Assassin's Creed also started in 2007 as well as Mass Effect.
Might be the best year or at least top 5
Great year for movies too
That Wolverine game was fun. I honestly wished they just did their own game, rather than follow the movie. That Sentinel battle was great and you could feel the passion the devs had for it. I wonder if Raven was aiming to develop a unique Wolverine game but got roped into tying it into the movie.
They were actually making their own Wolverine game before they were contracted to do the movie tie-in. They use as much as they could from the prototype which helped development.
Incase if you don't know what he means by Shattered Dimensions being "more on the Devil May Cry end", its because Shattered Dimensions's upgrades actually have you unlock new moves with the currency instead of just upgrading the fists altogether, which is seen in Devil May Cry but not God of War. Shattered Dimensions looked to be "very" though judging by the combat, and there's even a grab attack like as seen in God of War. Additionally, Shattered Dimensions has multiple playable characters, which is something that DmC has that God of War doesn't, where the three different Spider-Men would be Dante/Nero/V of Devil May Cry.
In fact, some of these games in the Knockoff Collection include games that have gotten mixed or sometimes negative reviews, as well as obscure commercial failures, but TBP still enjoys. But among them, there's always going to be at least an X-Blades or Smash n Survive where a game that is this panned is actually that bad the whole time.
Honestly it really makes the most sense for ghost rider to have the type of style of fighting credos has sinister both characters with chains. Also the fact that they’re both characters who sold their soul to and evil being that deceive them in a way.
you should definitely do a part 3 reviewing some games like ben 10 protector of earth , asura wrath , deadpool , castlevania lords of shadow 2 and crash mind over titan , btw an amazing video like always this video is an hour long but it felt like 10 minutes keep going with the good work
Really love those videos, keep up the great work👍
This is my favorite series of yours. Please do more! I get to relive games and discover new ones of my used to be favorite but now my 2nd or 3rd favorite genre
Spiderman Friend or Foe gives me so much nostalgia
Wolverine Origins is definitely a masterpiece. It managed to get it right. The Green Lantern game looks pretty fun too imo.
I’ve played it and while it had potential at the start it became a bit of a slog to get through at the end. Overall I really wouldn’t recommend it, but if you get a hold of it and try it you can judge for yourself.
@@wessmoore7894 Just be happy you never played the Nintendo DS version of the game as a kid. Back then, brainless fun combined with rage. Looking back as an adult, confusion combined with repressed disappointment.
So sorry for the loss of your lil cat, losing pets is so unpredictably painful, but at least Gambit is no longer in pain and is resting now
I'm digging the use of digital film grain to avoid the C-strike.
Also, love the video overall, TBP!
In regards to the PS2 and Wii versions of the Wolverine game being toned down/regular versions compared to Xbox 360 and PS3 it might be because of hardware limitations. To my memory the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed has some cut content that shows up in both Xbox 360 and PS3
Green Lantern really needs his own game
The concept of simply manifesting weapons and shit into existence with space magic could give us so much fun gameplay
i think greenlantern itself needs a reboot, its a good cncept plagued with subpar media lately, and the one good cartoon they had in recent years got cancelled
besides Green Lantern, I grew up with all of these games a little bit
I'm not convinced to calling X Men Origins a God of War knock-off type game.
Love your videos so much keep up the work brooo
The Wolverine Origins game was so good that I've played it multiple times. I think I played a total of three different places on the Xbox I started a new playthrough of it this year. I need to get back the Xbox version. But I think this game is freaking amazing especially with the alternative costumes the only problem is outside of the main campaign there's nothing else to do there are a couple of challenges but I wish there was kind of like a horde mode. Where you could just continue playing until you die with hundreds of enemies coming at you. And I do think it has some of the best CGI cutscenes in gaming history especially the opening and ending could being the best CGI cutscenes I've ever seen in gaming history surprisingly those cutscenes still hold up to this very day which is amazing. I love the gore engine. Especially the healing factor of Wolverine how you can see bone and internal organs the more and more you play the game. You can see him regenerate them in real time. This game surprisingly is really amazing. If Only They got to make a proper sequel
Ghost Rider was my favorite games growing up. I played it even before I knew God of War existed. We didn't have much money back then, we had gotten a hacked PS2 1 year before the release of PS3 and Ghost Rider was one of my first games to play on that console, with a pirated CD. I've played half of the game countless times till I could afford a memory card. Then, I literally wouldn't be exaggerating if I say I had finished this game countless times. Man this review just took me back to those days. I'd spam every single combo I get to memorize and master them till the next upgrade. Funnily enough, I loved those bike sections. Compared to your experience, mine had no lag. I wish we'd get a modern Ghost Rider game that takes lessons from this old one. I had tried to play it on PCSX2 a couple times but never could make the frame time work properly. It was either a slow motion or fast forwarded gameplay.
Your content Is too good man, keep It up.
I've only ever played the demo of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the combat felt AMAZINGLY satisfying when I played. Definitely need to check it out.
Ghost Rider the movie was unironically great! And holy shit, I forgot about the game that I definitely played when I was like 14 🤣
man ghost rider on ps2 was so fun back in the day. using penance stare on enemies was always so fun.
48:20 didn’t stop my parents from getting me the god of war duology for ps3 as a graduation present in 2nd grade elementary school.
Blocking in ghost rider helps pick the orbs up fa- oh ya sonuva bitch you got me.
I enjoyed watching Ghost Rider movies, you shouldn't feel bad just cause others didn't enjoyed it or "critics" didn't liked it. I saw it from a audience perspective, and even if I watch it today from a "critic" perspective, I think the Ghost Rider character himself alone can carry the whole movie, the whole blue flame thing etc etc, but that's just me.
Wolverine was one of the few games, I played from start to end. But I don't think I played some of those levels, so I'll give it another try. One of the main reasons being, it was available on PC, meanwhile I could only play Ghost Rider via emulator, so I played very little of it. And if I ever got to the part where he uses that special elevate in air lightning move, I could've easily clocked that as a god of war copy. Cause I played gow1 from start to end, but second I just used a 99%/100% save to just rush and finish the game 😂
But I did all that in my early years, so it'd be interesting to see how I like all of these things today.
I actually would like to see a review about gow1, gow2, gow3, seperately or combined, from you. Doing seperately would be best, but it's up to you. You could also go in about Ascension & new Gow as well. Like a proper review, I know you've talked about Kratos' story and all that but that doesn't count as the game review. Or You can say I want to see you go in detail about the gamelplay aspect of those games.
I feel the force unleashed was somewhat inspired by GOW, but I personally actually prefer it over GOW
Finally part two
@Tactical Bacon Productions I'm surprise you haven't figure out the most broken move on GHOST RIDER, if you use R1+SQUARE (the upgraded version) you can basically shread to any enemies because the recover animation is so fast it's SPAMMABLE and the rank system doesn't give a damn if you use this 100% of the time, it will get to Vengeance rank just by killing enemies with this move XD.
the Onimusha and DMC franchise by Capcom inspired David Jaffe to create God Of War 💁🏻♀️💯
Loved the Ghost Rider game as a kid ( except for the combo shields )
The Ghost Rider game is or I should say was made to tie in with the movie only very loosely some of the characters that appeared in the movie are made to resemble loosely the actors that portrayed them but the plot of the game is next to nothing like the movie the game follows more along the line of the comics as well as featuring a multitude of characters from the comics in the form of the different bosses you fight and in the PSP version case are playable in the racing mode
My dude I completely know that feel on Friend or foe I played the hell out of it back in the day with my brother we had everything unlocked all the upgrades all the secrets and collectibles a year or two ago me and my friend were reminiscing about old games and we both brought up the subject of Spider-Man Friend or foe we had a copy lying around so we decided to pop it in for Old times sake we were both ready to stop by the fourth mission I haven't touched it since
No idea about the psp version since i never really looked into it, but in the ps2 version aside from showing up in the story, you can straight up unlock Blade as a playable character, with his own unique combos and mechanics and get through the whole game with him.
Frankly i do miss when tie-in games like this existed, since a lot of them in a variety of cases had the chance to expand on some things if not include stuff that was cut from the movies entirely, like in the console version of revenge of the sith where they had a few sectons that were built off scenes that were cut. Or hell, even go further than that like that chicken little game that was a weird pseudo-sequel to movie. Nowadays everything gets relegated to basic-ass mobile games (or if you were disney you'd just pay to slap them on fortnite the moment the movie came out but thankfully that era died off for good).
@@Hatsworthful at one point during the development it wasn't just going to be played who is unlockable wolverine was also planned to be fully playable but he was cut due to time constraints
@@emilyalucard Oh yeah, i think i remember hearing about that, didn't know they wanted to make him fully playable but i do remember hearing that they wanted good ol' skintbub to be in the story.
Damnit now i wanna see something like that ghost rider game but going in the DMC5 route of having multiple characters.
@@Hatsworthful I would appreciate that too more marvel character action games would make me a happy vampire girl
The only problem with Morbius being in the Spider-Man: Friend or Foe game is that he isn't from Transylvania, he is Greek. So apart from him being a vampire, it really makes no sense for him to be there.
Blade isn't from Transylvania either, but he's a vampire themed character. Therefore they had him appear in the Transylvania level.
I didn't know that Morbius was from my country! But why is that? We aren't famous for Vampires or blood sucking demons or stuff like that.
@@Safersephiroth777 He’s just greek, I don’t think there’s something more to it than that
@@itsyaboi9950 Okay thanks.
James Arnold Taylor was also the VA for electro in Ultimate Spider-Man
Of the five games you talked about, I've heard of three of them. I've heard of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and heard that it was a good game. Thor: God of Thunder I heard was awful. I genuinely think Thor's head in that game looks like Patrick Star dropped a watermelon from the manure fields into his mouth. Spider-Man: Friend or Foe was game I found out existed about 1-2 years ago from a review on a channel that's no longer active. It looked like a Lego game to me with none of the charm. What surprised me the most was that Next Level Games made the game. The same dudes who made Mario Strikers Charged, Captain America: Super Soldier (AKA Wolfenstein: Arkham Asylum), and two of the Luigi's Mansion games. In fact, Strikers Charged came out the same year Friend or Foe.
Ghost Rider was basically Devil May Cry mixed with God of War sprinkled with Twisted Metal with the bike sections of the game
My review of the Ghost Rider movie is that I genuinely cannot remember if I have it or have not seen it.
Sorry for your loss man
your reaction to the jokes in Friend or Foe was funnier than any of the jokes in the game lmao.
Hey I'm a little late to this video, but I would love a shattered dimensions review from you. It's one of my favorite childhood games
I think I still have my copy of Ghost Rider PS2, it was cool how you could unlock Blade as well.
26:47 You see the funny thing about that is, they only got him to voice TONY not IRON MAN.
Probably BECAUSE it was costly to have RDJ doing voice work so they limited him to just cutscenes with Tony and not allll the in game dialogue with Iron Man that plays throughout the game.
It's pretty hilarious once you notice since Stephen Stanton at many points sounds like he's doing an almost parody level impression of RDJ.
“What was the thought pattern in that?”
I see what you did there
I just wanna say as a Spider-Man fan you should have picked Shattered Dimensions or even Edge of Time, I think that game has a combat more similar combat to God of War
I remember on Christmas Day getting the Wii version of the Thor game alongside Mario Galaxy 2. Thor didn’t get played very much to say the least
for x-men I don't like the name kurt either but it is actually the name of mystique's son, nightcrawler, who inherited her blue skin and john wraiths teleport
I wonder if they got the idea to have the DOFP timeline be the classic movie one from this game. Also Origins wolverine is such a fun game to play with cheats on, seeing hoe much damage could be done to wolverine's body is insane.
I've played the Iron Man tie-in game on the DS, the two Fantastic Four movie games but what was jarring was the Rise of the Silver Surfer game where the likeness was of the movie cast but the actors didn't voice their characters instead it was just voice actors doing those characters and the X-Men Origins: Wolverine on the Wii, overall, I enjoyed those games.
I remember as a kid when playing the 1st Fantastic 4 movie game, I scared my family's cat in the museum level because of the dinosaurs roaring
52:54 This definitely ripped straight from GOW 2 Colossus Battle
More please!!!
Especially if we’re talking, heavenly sword, clash of the titans, and Beowulf.
For whatever reason I could never beat the final boss in heavenly sword and I tried many times as a kid.
You can play as Blade in the ghostrider game btw
Have some fond memories with some of these games. Would you make a "Batman Arkham knockoff collection"?
What kind of computer are you using to emulate PS3 ?
I have a Ryzen 7 3800X, 3070 and 32gb of ram but I seem to have problems emulating PS3, at least Red Dead Redemption and the Metal Gear Solid collection on RPSC3. RDR runs about 24fps but I know I should be getting more Frames per second. Maybe I need to just mess around in the settings ? What renderer are you using ?
Yes, I've been waiting for this video.
There is one other GOW esque licensed superhero movie game left out in this video: Hellboy The Science Of Evil. It was released around the same time as the second movie (which is a great film btw) and wasn't very good. But they did get the cast from the film back, this is sadly the closest we have gotten to a Hellboy 3. Oh yeah, and the PSP version of the game is similar but also different (and slightly better imo).
Spiderman: Friend or Foe was copying the X-Men: Legends formula
RIP dear Gambit. 😢
I’m gonna go out in a limb and say I love the ghost rider movie. It’s a little cheesy at times sure but I still love it to death. Personally one of my favourite Nick cage performances. The scenes with ghost rider were just eye candy to me. Yeah the story was a bit iffy here and there and it definitely felt like there was a bit of untapped potential (like the scene where both riders travel to the final battle together but the old one who’s name I forget just leaves Johnny behind by himself) but nonetheless I still love it as just a dumb fun movie to watch. That movie got me into this ghost rider phase that I had for a while and for that it holds a special place in my heart despite its inherent flaws that I can admit it has.
The second one looks much better
I played and loved all of these games as a kid except Thor, which I'm happy about, and Green Lantern, which is a shame because I was a big GL fan and I know I would've looked over it's flaws. That movie honestly felt like an insult though and it was probably the first time I was massively disappointed by a piece of media I was looking forward to, so there's no way I was touching a tie-in to it. The Origins game though was just something else for me I mean I had never seen something so violent or gorry and I loved every second of it. That it starred one of my favorite characters was incredible. I also have a lot of nostalgia for the Ghost Rider game although I'm sure I wouldn't think it holds up nearly as well as Wolverine. Still I had a lot of appreciation for the character from old issues I found of the 90's Midnight Sons era comics, which I'm sure has a lot to do with why I loved the movie and game, and thought things like a skin of Vengence was awesome.
11:43 the flames are attracted to the barrels... cool
James Arnold Taylor has voiced Spidey before Friend or Foe
As a kid I used to play a lot of Spider-man: Friend or Foe. The catch was that I didn't have a memory card on my PS2. So I had to play every single game from the 0 once I booted it up.
Which means that this, already, boring game became all the more boring.
Which also means that I never got to reach the finish of God of War 1&2, which is a shame.
Same thing and i sadly owned a infamous pirate copy of God of war 2 because in Brazil were sold copies that only reached up to icarus part
@@Eric6761 all my PS2 games were pirated, except for Star Wars episode 3 the video game(which is great) and Grand Turismo 3
"If you want to play, start on Hard."
What a perfect description of Mini Ninjas!
The good ol’ days when games used the face buttons, now it’s all dark souls clones that use r1 and r2 for everything.
Some of us enjoy doing the dishes. It’s cathartic.
51:20 That's Nightcrawler's name.
Wraith can teleport, kinda like Nightcrawler, and in the comics Mystique is Nightcrawler's mom.
I don't think Wraith is his dad in the comics, I think it's a guy named Azazel, but it works as a nod for X-Men fans.
Did not expect to see A Bugs Life
Honestly I love Friend or Foe. Story isn’t great, but the combat is TOP NOTCH. And damn I would love a modern day Green Lantern game. With Bayonetta style combat.
I had X Men Orgins Wolverine for PSP…this game was pretty fun
Why didn't you do Hellboy on the 360 it fits every criteria I believe
Rip gambit 😢
The cat, not the movie one
You are one of the few besides me to actually cover the Ghost Rider video game and bring up how much it borrows from God of War and Devil May Cry (btw my thoughts on this game and the God of War series have changed since I made my video on it).
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe was a game I only played once and that was it. I don't remember much from it. But I heard so many good things about the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game. I need to play it, especially since we're getting that new Wolverine game from Insomniac somewhere in the future.
Good job with this video. I've been enjoying your content lately, dude. :)
I thought your green lantern rap was really good
Oh yeah I'm def watching this video in the morning
God I heard the first few tones of the Ghost Rider game's soundtrack and hot flooded with memories.
How about a next part with stuff like Garshasp, Warrior Within, Marlow Briggs
I'm sorry for your loss rip gambit
Where do i go to learn to emulate the wolverine game? Does anyone know?
I had the Ghost Rider game for my PS2 and I loved it.
I'm surprised you haven't included star wars Force Unleashed
38:38 - Double Helix made Killer Instinct (2013), so no surprise here
RIP Gambit ;( such a precious kitty
Thor: God of Thunder's DS game, while not at all a GoW-like, *is* a very competent sidescrolling beat-'em-up made by WayForward, the developers of Shantae!
I was wondering about the Green Lantern game being a God of War clone. Then I realized I was thinking of the Metroidvania Wii version. Real easy game but still had fun with it
The only flaw with the Wolverine game is the impossible qte finisher in the sentinel boss fight. They didn't play test that at all. I got so far in the game just to stop playing it right there. Couldn't get beyond that and it was the only thing stopping me from beating the game. And I unlocked all the costumes in those challenging mirror matches.
I don't know, maybe because I was a kid, maybe because you wouldn't expect much of those kind of movies, but any superhero movie from 90s to mid 00s I remember I used to like a lot, if I were to watch it nowadays, probably it would be dumb fun or just I'd think ''did I really enjoy this?'', but it's fine, same happens with a lot of games too, I think in the end, what really matters is if you're having fun, no matter how bad others say it's a bad movie or game, if you enjoy it, enjoy it
16:31 bro who complains about more JAT? JATs awesome
Ok I grew up with DMC, Ninja Gaiden Black, Wolverine I remember playing these games thanks to my dad who was a huge resident evil gamer like I am now so if it wasn't for him introducing me into gaming i would've never touched gaming
XMen Origins: Wolverine was actually supposed to be a standalone game on its own. Not a tie in game. However, they had to which is why the main story revolves around sentinels however, there are the movie elements pushed into it. Which feels off at times. So, ya, that's why it's a cut above the rest due to this simple fact.
Interestingly enough the default game in the 90s would depend on which region you are in. In the west it was 3D platformers but in Japan it was RPGs.
I do remember there’s a a scene in Ghost Rider where Nick Cage has a martini glass full of jellybeans and is watching chimpanzees doing karate
