Rare Replay Critic Reviews

Rare Replay is, simply put, one of the best collections in gaming history. Hours upon hours of gameplay await players, and with classics like Banjo, Conker, and Perfect Dark those hours won't be wasted.

Rare Replay is a piece of gaming history full of legendary games that everyone should play.

It was already a steal before the extras, but the Snapshot mode and the videos, not to mention the classy production values overall, make this a must-have for those both old and new to Rare’s extensive library. If you’ve got an Xbox One, this is a shoo-in.

This is how you celebrate an anniversary. Rare replay contains more than 700 hours of gameplay, thanks to 30 games. They're all of great quality and contains some great extra features. This collection alone is reason enough to buy an Xbox One.

This collection really is a no-brainer, especially for fans of Rare’s classic works. There are 30 games here, and all of them are amazingly well-designed.

Rare Replay is one of the best compilations ever created even if it does have some less-than-stellar games in it.

Rare Replay is an amazing collection of games at a bargain price, and shows what an incredible run the UK studio has been on for the majority of its existence.

An impressive retro games collection, probably the best to date. Not only does it provide a great tour of the history of video games, but each game is enriched with additional challenges, rewind capabilities and lots of behind the scenes videos.

Rare Replay is loaded with gems and classics that by and large have stood the test of time. Modern tweaks and goodies make it all the more worthwhile. It's the best value in gaming, and sets the bar for any compilation going forward.

Rare Replay features Ultimate and Rare classics from three decades. Simply a big slice of essential videogame history.

Outside the large amount of space needed to install Rare Replay, the end result of this collection was remarkable and I hope other developers consider putting in the same care that Rare did.

A new milestone for compilations. A great deal of care was put into the project, and 30 games is enough meat to ensure that everyone will really enjoy at least half of them. I sincerely hope this is the start of a revival of the classic Rare we know and love.

It is difficult at this point to find a better and more complete compilation than Rare Replay.

Rare Replay is a great classic compilation with must-haves like Battletoads, Conker, Banjo and Perfect Dark. It has excellent replay value and is full of extras to unlock. We missed some classic Rare games and one or two choices could have been better.

Almost every game returns in its original form, even the ZX Spectrum ones, making this collection a very enjoyable trip to the roots of videogaming. And, what is best, the trip is full of new content (like "making of" of some titles), and new gameplay elements, like the new challenges for the older games. All at a very affordable price that makes this collection an unmissable one if you have an Xbox One.

Rare Replay is a momentous celebration of gaming history. The package has been constructed with care and attention to detail, offering gamers of all types a glimpse into the past of one of the industry’s greatest studios.

30 years of history in a great opportunity to play again a good chunk of videogame history.

A fantastic package that charts the history of one of Britain's most important developers. It works both as a historical archive, and as a top-tier package of classic games. There really is something for everyone in this wonderfully crafted anthology.

An incredible package. Its presentation is charming, the extras are amazing, and so many of the games included here are still a blast to play.

Rare Replay is exactly what’s been advertised and it’s so modestly priced that it’s easily one of the biggest no-brainers in gaming.
