10 Completely Shameless Video Game Rip-Offs
6. Star Wars: Dark Forces - DOOM
DOOM rip-offs are nothing new. The first person shooter has acted as an influence on numerous games and, in truth, is basically a rip off of Wolfenstein 3D itself. So why am I so annoyed at the Star Wars franchise for taking its ideas from DOOM?
Well, it's actually the first appearance of one Kyle Katarn, who would later go on to become the title character of the Jedi Knight series, and it's such a waste of time. Three years had passed since DOOM had hit the shelves, and this is the best LucasArts could do?
If you strip away the Stormtrooper armour and Star Destroyer interior, you're left with a very similar-playing take on DOOM - even the story is hellishly similar. The addition of multiple floors and the ability to look up and down aren't enough to cover up the work at hand and it's no surprise this game has ended up on our list.
