Okay this almost made me fall off my chair:

Kart Rider

Quote:
Korean firms in China have long suffered from cheap imitation products, and the range of made-in-China counterfeits is now widening to computer games.

Last week, Chinese game company Shanda started the distribution of ``Crazy Kart,���� a knock-off of South Korea��s mega hit racing game ``Kart Rider.����


Isn't Kart Rider itself a knock off of Mario Kart? How can they keep a straight face and complain about this?

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. No mention in the news article, of course, of Kart Rider being a bogus rippoff itself.

There's also another popular game called Crazy Arcade, which is just a ripoff of Bomberman. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples, but I don't follow the video game scene.

It's also quite close to Lego Racer 2, which came out 5 years ago (got it for free with a box of cereal).
