Honestly, I loved Code Geass, and I also loved Guilty Crown. I just like that style of show. Given, I thought Code Geass was a bit better in some aspects, but they are still both great animes. Honestly, they are somewhat similar, but I don't think that they are similar enough to call one a rip off of the other. They have a lot in common, but the stories are still quite different. I literally watched it immediately after watching both seasons of Code Geass and still enjoyed it. I think it's just better to think of them as being 2 animes in the same genre, rather than thinking of one as a rip off of the other.
I think it's worth a watch. It's worth watching at least the first couple of episodes to see if you want to watch the rest of it. Try not to watch it with Code Geass in mind, though, otherwise it may only bring attention to the similarities it has, making it seem like a bad rip off.
