Rare Replay Standard Edition - Xbox One

Can't go wrong with this collection, for 30 bucks you get some great classic games. Plus it has Conker Bad Fur Day which I'd hard to find and expensive if you do find it.

I bought this game for Conker's Bad Fur Day. I used to love playing it on my Nintendo 64, Kameo is also a great game thats included. It takes me back to 2005 and the launch of the Xbox 360.

First off, I mainly got this for one amazing, somewhat underrated and admittedly aging title: Jet Force Gemini. The version included in this compilation has updated controls: the two original controls, Normal and Expert, intended for the N64 controller, as well as a "Modern" control scheme added in via a patch and accessed through the Rare Replay options menu rather than the in-game options. Even so, the controls have not aged well since this game was designed for that infamously awkward N64 controller, most importantly meaning that anyone familiar with modern 3D two-analog stick controls will be VERY disoriented for quite some time. You do get used to it, but I feel it would have been better to simply give the player the option of customizing the controls completely rather than adding in one new static option. Other than that, Jet Force Gemini is faithfully reproduced 100% satisfactorily and I've been having a blast. As for the other 29 games in the compilation, a lot are hit or miss, mostly the older titles from the 80's. The "snapshot" and "playlist" features allow you to play short challenges or series of challenges custom tailored to each of the older games, which gives a fresh approach to a few stale, confusing games. The ability to rewind in older games makes notoriously difficult titles like Battletoads more approachable as well. Several of the more popular and newer titles like Banjo Kazooie and Viva Pinata are actually just the existing Xbox 360 remakes added into the compilation and hold up just as well as they did last generation. The only other gripe is that to install the entire compilation is about 50 GB, with each Xbox 360 version installing as a separate game. All of the non-Xbox 360 games are installed as one game under "Rare Replay", but ALL 30 games can be accessed from within the Rare Replay game itself if they are installed. One upside to this is that you can skip the installs and save hard drive space, for example if you don't need the sequels until you've played the originals first.

Most people who have given this game a bad review either didn’t know what they were buying or just bought it because it was cheap. These are old games with old graphics so I don’t know why people wine about it. Do the tiniest bit of research before you buy and one should be able to figure out if you will like it. I grew up playing a lot of these games and have really enjoyed tapping back into old memories. I don’t know what people expect for 10$ but this is well worth it if you played and enjoy these games back in the day.

Anyone who is getting this game probably knows what they are getting into already, so I can keep it brief. This is a collection of titles that have been developed from Rare over the past couple decades. Some games are very obscure, some you may be familiar with, and most of the time you will be playing old favorites (I'm looking at you Perfect Dark). This game really hits a home run on two major points. 1. The price is very cheap and reasonable for getting a collection of games, they're priced at about $1/piece if you average it out for what you pay for the disk. 2. There are some really fun titles in here such as Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and most importantly, Battletoads. The only real downside being is that the nostalgia runs thin very quick. Besides getting some buddies around for some Perfect Dark multiplayer, maybe Battletoads, or blindly trying one of their 80's arcade ports, there isn't a lot to do here that captures your attention for more than thirty minutes. I love a lot of the old stuff, but it doesn't hold up as I would've hoped. That said, do go out and buy this. It's cheap, it's nostalgic, and most importantly, it's FUN.

Wanted to revisit my childhood. Grew up with the N64. Missed some of these games because I was so young. Rare was at their pinnacle during the 64 era. They were bought out by Microsoft not too long ago. This collection includes 30 games in one. An awesome deal! Includes banjo kazooie, banjo twooie, banjo kazooie nuts and bolts, perfect dark, conkers bad fur day, jetforce gemini, battletoads, and much more! Highly recommend to anyone, especially those like me who want to revisit the N64 era!

If you haven't played any of these games, you should. Some things to be aware of. * Some of the graphics in the older games show their age. * Some of the controls are painful * the Xbox 360 games are separate installs and are not launched from the disc, but still require the disk to be inserted to play * conkers bad fur day is for a mature audience If you pick it up you will not be disappointed. Some of these games by their self are worth the $30 entry fee. Have Fun.

This is probably the best deal you're going to get on the Xbox One. It's 30 games, which pretty much adds up to a dollar per game, and it's an even better deal if you catch it on sale like I did, or if you find a pre-owned copy. While not every game is great, there's some all-time classics like the Banjo-Kazooie games, Perfect Dark, Battletoads, and Conker. It's almost the perfect dream collection for anyone who grew up playing the Nintendo 64 (though don't expect Goldeneye, as I'm guessing there's some license issues there). The only real downside is that most of the games aren't actually included on the disc itself, and for many it acts as a middleman to downloading the included games. You won't be having to re-pay for games, but you will probably have to decide which games you want installed on your Xbox at any given time. Thankfully, you can still keep saves even if you delete the actual game data, so while rather inconvenient, at least you won't be too burdened with decisions.
