PSAS actually plays very different and has a lot of merit on it's own. Read the reviews and you'll see that most of the one's that drop points for the Smash inspiriation still agree with that. PSAS can be considered in the same genre but not the same game. Like Ninja Gaiden vs God of War.

Dante's Inferno litteraly felt like a God of War reskin. It didn't get as much heat as PSAS did because GoW isn't as big a series as Smash.

Read the reviews or at least the comments in this thread. The reviews are actually really positive and the scores aren't the best indicator of how much fun the reviewer had with the game.

....I see this comment has caused many people to initiate damage control mode...damage control mode has been activated lol.

Nobody has actually addressed your comment yet for the question it ponders and instead have just started talking fast clutching for a response to discredit your post, which let's be honest here, is the best post in the thread.

I'm a huge ps fan, played both Gow3 and Dante's inferno and though I agree that the latter is a rip off of the former, I think they did a brilliant job, as I enjoyed it much more than gow3. Kratos is one blatant character. I didn't like his story at all. Dante's was much more interesting. I even prefered the gameplay thanks to the use of the cross. I'm glad the developer's of dante's inferno copied as they made a game superior to the original (in my opinion of course). Dante's Inferno deserves a much higher meta. Not sure about all stars, since i've only played the beta.

75 seems a fair enough score to me,it's not terrible is it,

what will happen when microsoft have an all star brawler with masterchief leading the way,it shoudl be fun,they haven't got one yet right?

i told him this already and he refused to respond to my point :

the people commenting in this thread about this game getting low review scores are not the same people who commented in that thread before

and as i said unless he believes all playstation fans have the same opinions and say the same things then he doesn't really have a point

why do you personally believe his post has any relevance to this thread given that the users posting in both are different?

i personally understand your agenda but i'd like to hear what you have to say about it

btw i played the demo for dante's inferno and never at any point did it occur to me to claim it was a rip off... 

then again i'm not one of those people that really cares about such things as its obvious that in general games take certain elements from other games

microsoft already has killer instinct, if they wanted to make a fighting game i'd think they just go with that

i had to look it up,haha,good idea,they might have to tone down the name to brawler stars instinct or soemthing,killer sounds a bit rough these days

I don't think he meant it in a personal sense as in to call out. It's more of an interesting comparison than anything else. If it was one user's comment -> another user's comment then yes that would be silly. But when you have a number of people slandering something for being a rip-off, then in another thread having a number of people not slandering a game for being rip-off, it is interesting.

It's like saying, a game that people think is good it's fine to rip-off another game, but if the game is bad then it's a terrible thing to do.

It's also interesting that God Of War series is highly respected by PS fans and a Sony exclusive and likely the better game Vs Dante's Inferno, and SSB series less respected by PS fans and a Nintendo exclusive but likely the better game Vs PSABR. If you just take the stats adding it all up, it's "interesting".

For people talking about the original smash bros it deserved a 7.5. Melee and Brawl has been much better. I know people will want to defend this games score but it is pretty deserved. That isn't a bad thing just means they can improve it on the next game if they make another which I'm sure they will.
