I suppose the same could be said for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night or Shadow Complex being mere copies of Super Metroid. Metal Slug is nothing more than a Contra clone. Really though, what difference does it matter? It seems God of War fans should be the ones to enjoy this game, not trash it. It's like an extra dose and helping of the GOW franchise more or less. Why shun that? Do you really get enough GOW goodness that a little more feels like overkill? Hey I love God of War. It's my absolute favorite hack n slasher. If another team wants to make a game very inspired in design by God of War, then more power to them. I don't know if there are any plans to revisit God of War after the third, so at least there's a game with the same feel to it just in case this is it for the series. 

No they're not, both of those games have certain sparks of originality in them using Super Metriod's gameplay formula.  For them to be "mere copies" they'd have to have much more in relation to Super Metriod then they do now.


what certain spark of originalty does Shadow Complex have? i've played all 3 games and i agree that symphony of the night is original it takes the metroid formula and does something new. but shadow complex is just basically super metroid with a different skin
