Before reading the article, I thought it may have been an overreaction.

...It isn't. Watch the video.

I dont see a resemblance... just kidding.

In case you want to embbed it.

@ thread title: Anyone else surprised? Seriously, half the games on the iTunes store are direct, shameless rip-offs.


...But even so, at least the others have some SHAME. Holy hell, these guys not only ripped off the gameplay, but the style, powerups, level designs and EVERYTHING EVER. They pretty much ripped a copy of Mario Kart Wii and got it running on iOS, then changed a few models.

Apple had better can this shit right now if they know what's good for them. There's a fine line, and these guys crossed it and kept going straight through Mordor.

It really is kind of like someone just stole Mario Kart DS then installed a reskin mod then altered the HUD arrangement then made a couple of custom tracks in the hope that it would justify enough originality to not get sued.

In fact i wouldnt be surprised to hear that all of this was done by one Chinese hacker trying to make a quick profit.
