I liked the homage to Metal Slug with that buggie.

The entire game felt like an homage to the original Gears of War though the use of a chainsaw was such a rip-off of Doom.

A rip-off is a straight-up jacking of something, and an homage is cleverly using the same/similar tactic/item/whatever."

No.. no homage or rip off. Gears has nothing to do with MGS.
