[GD-General] Copyright on games

Does anyone have any pointers to some info on what is (c) and what isn't ?

Could I take bust-a-move (puzzle bobble). Totally redo the game, different
graphics, different sounds, etc, but same game play ? 

Maybe rotating the game play so you shoot down. Would that be legal ?
