General opinion on spinoffs

[BumblebeeCody]

As long as the game is good, I don't give a crap about anything else. Games like Little Big Planet Racing, Mario Kart, Crash Team Racing etc are fun as hell to play, regardless if the others are a "rip-off"(not) of Mario Kart.
Or Smash Bros/Sony All-stars with's high level fighting game play(though Sony supports it more) combined with characters from different games finally setting those arguments of Raiden or Dante.

Some like Majoras Mask/DmC/Final Fantasy Tactics/Super Puzzle Fighter which step out of the original series to try new ideas are easily welcomed if done right.

Heck, Tekken just released a free Tekken card game that's had me hooked all day. Others like Resident Evil also have their own TCG so. Spin-offs, if done right aren't a problem...




...otherwise we end up with shit like Wand of Gamelon.
