Rare Replay Reviews
Rare Replay represents a unique opportunity that every English software enthusiast should have. Thanks to a frighteningly high difficulty, further raised by the insertion of snapshots with challenges to the limit of the impossible, but never frustrating, given the possibility of using tricks to make our life easier, every player will find bread for his teeth, also being able to choose between a collection of 30 titles with completely different genres, from shooters to management, from fighting games to platformers.

Ultimately, Rare Replay is a must-buy title if you have even a passing interest in a handful of the included games. While the technical issues prevent it from being an ideal collection, the value justification is impossible to ignore. The majority of these games are great choices, and at an average price of $1 a game (even less if you get it on sale), you're not really missing out even if you end up not liking a few.
Rare Replay is a well-done collection of titles and special features, and is almost as much of a no-brainer purchase for every Xbox One owner as Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
Rare Replay is an incredible offering for the Xbox platform, at a cheap price. While some titles had hiccups, the full offering of games is enough to make Rare Replay an absolute must have for any fan of Rare, or anyone looking to play some of the most iconic games in the industry.
A rare chance to celebrate a developer's work through three whole decades, and even if some classics are missing what's left still represents a laudable achievement in gaming.
Rare Replay is an incredibly high-value retro compilation, which adds to its impressive (but sadly not exhaustive) line-up of classics with new ways to play and interesting bonus content.
Rare Replay is an essential piece of gaming history
Rare Replay is a massive collection of great games and interesting documentaries, but not everything is as good as it could have been.
Rare Replay is an easy recommendation for value-conscious gamers, but it has a surprising amount of historical heft as well.
Rare Replay is a lovely collection that I can't help but feel could have been even lovelier.
Rare's massive game collection serves not just as entertainment but also a retrospective of the medium's growth over several decades
You might need some prior connection to Rare to appreciate the nostalgia, of course, but Replay makes you stop and think 'blimey, Rare really were very good'.
Rare Replay is one of the best compilation titles you could ever pick up. There is tons of quality and replay value here. Just being able to have Battletoads, RC Pro AM, Conker, Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark all together on one package is huge to me and most of the other games are fantastic as well. Throw in all of in game achievements, challenges and history videos and you have the definitive Rare collection. Highly recommended.
Rare Replay isn't without its weaker titles, but a generous amount of quality games and fun unlockables still makes it a great offer.
Rare Replay offers tons of content and software for its asking price. Getting the chance to replay classics from the NES, SNES, and N64 era is a treat for longtime fans. This collection shows that Rare made some of the best games the industry will ever see, and gives hope that they one day return to their former glory.
A great collection of classic games. Whether you've been a fan of Rare for three years or for thirty, there's something here for everyone, with plenty of gems waiting to be discovered for the first time.
All in all, Rare Replay is a great package. 30 amazing games spanning a beloved studio's history, a low price, amazing extras that take fans behind the scenes, and a wonderful musical to kick things off make for the best collection of gaming goodness released in a long time.
Rare Replay offers 30 games from across the 30-year legacy of beloved game developer Rare, and while not every game holds up, this huge piece of gaming history will keep you entertained for a long time.
A fascinating voyage through thirty years of video games history, with some truly fantastic games along the way. Not all the oldies are goldies and some of the earliest struggle to hold up, but any compilation that can pull in classic platformers, pioneering shooters and cult-classics like Viva Pinata and is sequel are worth your time. Replay is a celebration, and these are games worth celebrating.
Rare Replay is a fantastic "Best-of" collection, and for $40, it's a bargain
