Poll: Least crappy God of War rip-off (on 360)

[Sonicron]

The only game from that list that qualifies as a Clone of War is Dante's Inferno. That said, I found it to be quite enjoyable, and seeing how it can't cost much these days I'll gladly recommend it.

As for the other games on your list:
DMC4: It's a Devil May Cry game. If you liked the others, you can't go wrong with this one.
Bayonetta: Basically plays like Devil May Cry. Figures - it was made by the same guy.
Darksiders: Zelda for grown-ups. Combat controls are bland, but combat itself looks great, and the game as a whole is worth every cent you pay for it.
X-Blades: Kill it. Kill it with fire.

I personally thought Dante's Inferno a very weak game, If you are looking for something that is similar to GOW in fighting mechanics then Castlevania is its (slightly) poorer cousin

 

[Rheinmetall]

Actually Dante's Inferno in my opinion is much more interesting as a game than God of War 3.
Devil May Cry 4 isn't a GoW rip off, it's Devil May Cry.
Bayonetta is a Devil May Cry clone but it's so much better than the last DMC games.

 

[Mafoobula]

Oh, if only I could recommend two options. Stop trolling, and Bayonetta.

 

[Pearwood]

Devil May Cry 4 and Bayonetta are two of my favourite games so obviously I'll recommend them but they're very different to God of War.

I believe the original Xbox NG game(s) are also fully 360 compatible.

They are except for two things, the included arcade ports don't work on 360 and for some weird reason if you haven't played it for a while the first loading screen will take about five minutes to load but after that the loading screens only take 5 seconds.

Get a PS3 so you can have both consoles and stop being a fanboy.

Then get Dante's Inferno. It's pretty good.

Well obviously from that list Dante's Inferno. It's crap but it and X-blades are literally only GoW rip-offs on that list.
If you want an actually fun game? DMC4, it's awesome, and nothing like GoW.

 

[weker]

Dante's Inferno and that's only because it's the only god of war clone you mentioned.

 

[Weaver]

Bayonetta, easily. So long as you aren't looking for a good story and don't have a problem with the silly sexiness.

Also, someone is probably going to throw a tantrum over you referring to Devil May Cry as a God of War rip-off.

Allow me to be that person.

DMC came first, so it couldn't have ripped it off. Furthermore, Bayonetta was designed by Hideki Kamiya (who made DMC, which came first) and takes way more from DMC than GoW (and is also way better than GoW in my humble opinion.)

I'm also really sick of people thinking God of War was at all original when it was clearly a copy of Rygar: The Legendary Adventure, as you can see here:

Dante's Inferno is the only real God of War rip-off. It's still pretty good, though, I'd reccomend it even though it falls apart around the 8th circle.

 

[Deathmageddon]

Dante's Inferno was badass but my favorite has to be Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. EPIC GAME.

 

[Darkmantle]

Dante's Inferno and that's only because it's the only god of war clone you mentioned.

yeah, darksiders is more of a LoZ OoT clone :/ it's so weird.

 

[Jazoni89]

Dante's Inferno was badass but my favorite has to be Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. EPIC GAME.

Lords of shadow was the biggest surprise for me this gen. I went into it thinking it was going to a rather average mediocre god of war clone going by what some reviews and of course our friend yahtzee was saying. Oh boy, was I wrong...so very wrong, it is fantastic, and it's production values are some of the best I've seen in a videogame to date.

Also, buy a PS3, you don't know the true power of the dark side.

One of us, One of us!

I'd say either Bayonetta or Dante's Inferno. Neither require any games to play beforehand, and they are fun games to play. As for story, Dante's Inferno is basically "Gotta safe my girl no matter what" and go deeper and deeper in hell for it, and Bayonetta... Bayonetta doesn't have a story. Think like that, and it'll save you a headache.

 

[Killspre]

I chose stop trolling because you said Devil May Cry is a God of War clone despite it coming out 4 years before God of War. So I can't take this seriously.

 

[Zantos]

Both Darksiders and DMC4 are, as many people have rightly said, not GoW clones. However I would recommend them, I muchly enjoyed them.

Darksiders has a bigger puzzle element using various tools totally not stolen from other popular puzzle games. DMC4 is smarmy and batshit mental. If either of those sorts of things take your fancy then they're definitely worth a look.

 

[Legion IV]

Oh wow, either troll or most ignorant person ever. Devil may cry a Gow clone? more like God of war is a streamlined easy peice of crap modeled of the Devil may cry legacy and fame.
