An unabashed rip-off of Fruit Ninja; doesn't do enough to stand apart - Slidetoplay.comQuantum Squid have brought out Veggie Samurai for the iPad, and it looks like they've made no attempt at disguising this as a Fruit Ninja clone, given the title of the game which mimics the original as well as the trailer. Gaze your eyes at the video below, you'll immediately recognise Fruit Ninja's all too familar slicing game idea, albeit with some extra combos and multi-slice features. All's fair in love and war, and game design, it seems. Unfortunately, the reviewer at Slidetoplay.com has summarised Veggie Samurai as "An unabashed rip-off of Fruit Ninja; doesn't do enough to stand apart", so it's probably worth giving it a miss if you have the original.

Both titles are a rip off of
Both titles are a rip off of a game in wii sports resort anyway
