"Clones" were reviewed bad back in the day? Here's a few notable clones of the 5th generation that didn't fair so badly:
Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64 (Super Mario 64)
Final Fantasy Tactics (Tactics Ogre)
Tekken (Virtua Fighter)
Dino Crisis (Resident Evil)
Perfect Dark (GoldenEye 007)
Diddy Kong Racing (Mario Kart)
WipEout (F-Zero)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Super Metroid)
You might want to recall some of those sequels back then that were just like the sequels of today. Basically minor improvements on a good formula. Have you forgotten:
Tekken 2 and 3
Virtua Fighter 2
Street Fighter Alpha 2 and 3
Banjo-Tooie
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Gran Turismo 2
Resident Evil 2 and 3
Dino Crisis 2

Driver 2
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Colony Wars Vengeance and Red Sun
Tomb Raider 2 and 3

I mean do I really need to continue?
