Best Collection Ever
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great collection and price, tough on hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Amazing value and nostalgia factor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really can't express how awesome this collection of games is. You get 360 games, N64 games and older retro games people my age grew up on. When this game was first revealed at E3, I immediately knew I had to buy an Xbox One. My only gripes are that some of the older games from the 80's aren't really worth playing and they didn't remaster all of the n64 games but there is a great musical opening and you can tell Rare put a good amount of effort into making this collection. IMO, every Xbox owner should have this game. The Banjo Kazooie games alone make it worth every penny. and there is enough content here to keep you busy for a very long time. BUY IT!!!!

Best Value For a Video Game Ever.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's $30 for 30 games as they were when they all came out. I bought this just to play Conker's Bad Fur Day again and has the original multiplayer. A little weird playing on an Xbox One controller but eventually you get the hang of it. The only complaint I have is most of the games were 4:3 ratio so the border they chose was this really distracting cluster of Rare characters and it gets kinda annoying but for $30 it's not a huge factor. Do yourself a favor especially if you're a new Xbox One owner. Buy this game.

Nostalgic Hits
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great game for visiting the past
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rare Replay is a blast to the past for any gamer who grew up playing classic games from the last 30 years. You get 30 games for $30.00 which in its own is a great deal. You get to revisit classics like Conkets bad fur day, Killer Instinct, Jet pack Gemini, Perfect Dark, Battletoads( still a pain to beat LOL) and many many more. A must have for any Xbox One owner.

Worth Every penny
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With a 30 dollars for 30 games , you can't go wrong. My childhood has been rekindled with a true collection of all the best rare games Excluding the ones Nintendo won't give up(golden Eye). This collection is worth it alone just for Conkers Bad Fur day . I love this game . Go buy it now. Support this type of behavior from the game industry

Great value.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good package for you're money. 30 games for 30$. The games are wrapped in a neat gallery style presentation. Very well done. Also lots of fun games for multiple players. My favorite game in the package is perfect dark. My only complaint is that mantid therapies have to be downloaded separately. This takes up time and hdspace.

great game for Rare fans
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the amount of games that you get for the price, this can't be beat. Playing Rare games like Perfect Dark and Banjo and Kazooie were so much fun on the N64. Not to be able to go back and play them again as well as even older games such as Battletoads brings back so many memories. For the price, this just can't be beat.

A Boat Load of Great Games on One disk! Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This game is a steal for the price and the sheer number of games you receive in this bundle makes it worth the price easily...there are a few very obscure games on this title that you probably will never get around to playing or may lose interest on. However there are enough true Gems to keep you busy and entertained for awhile..there's also that one practically elusive game "Conkers Bad Fur Day" that was selling for ridiculous prices online and at local games stores..now its all included on this one disk. my only two gripes which are very minor gripes are: The install times are extremely time consuming and the control scheme of the controller I personally wish was different..but I've heard that a patch will be released to fix the control issues in the future on namely Jet Force Gemini. I enjoy the presentation of the game when you first start out. I enjoy how you choose to play games from a library and how you earn stamps to unlock behind the scenes videos...its a fun perk system. I enjoy how you can rewind the action on those extremely difficult arcade like games it gives you a chance to actually play a little longer. This is a overall slick package deal...this is a absolute MUST have for your xbox one collection. I honestly can not say enough good things about this game.

Wonderful Trip Down Memory Lane
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From Battletoads, to Viva Pinata, there's something for everyone on this super collection of RARE developed games. Definite high points involve the two series mentioned above, and also the Banjo-Kazooie games (minus Nuts & Bolts), Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Killer Instinct. The Microsoft era has its ups and downs, but are all decent games at least. Probably the weakest games in the collection are their oldest arcade/ZX Spectrum games. There's some fun to be had trying to attain the Snapshot Challenges. But beyond that, those games won't hold your attention. Probably the biggest omission from the collection is all of RARE's work with Nintendo during the Super Nintendo era and Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64. Everyone would love to play the SNES Donkey Kong Country games and Goldeneye, but alas, this collection is not on a Nintendo console. Still, there's a lot of fun and enjoyment to be had here for a very reasonable price. Great for old school gamers and newer gamers curious what games used to be like 10, 20, or even 30 years ago. And in case you're wondering: YES, Battletoads on NES really is that hard. If you felt Dark Souls was a romp with puppies through a flower bed, you might want to give it a go.

Best Game Compilation EVER
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm so glad I purchased this game. I have been waiting for a good reason to buy an Xbox One and this was the first of many (Halo 5 and Battlefront next). Some of my favorite games are on this and I can't wait to play through all of them. Now to take some PTO...

Great collection of classic games
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This collection is well worth the money. While some of the older games don't hold up very well, most of them are great and if you don't have the consoles to play some of the older titles this is one of the only places where they are available. There are definitely some stand-out classics (like Battletoads and Banjo-Kazooie) that justify the price of the game alone, and the games that don't hold up well are still great for historical reasons. In addition to the games there are videos from Rare about the making of several of the games, unreleased games, concept art, and music. The only problem with the videos is that they have to be unlocked by earning stamps from playing the other games, so it will take many hours of play to unlock them all. Overall it's a great purchase for fans of Rare or anyone who is interested in good retro games or video game history.

This game is a must have!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best deal out there by far. Just the one game alone Conkers Bad Fur day is around $100 if you want the N64 original. The games look great and they are all fun blasts from the past. And at $30 regular price and 20% off with Gamers unlocked which if you don't have GET IT there is nothing better out there. Games are great they feel just like old but look a little bit better. Only downside of this game is if you like the original controller which I do prefer but it still is good with xb1 controller. If you want to relive your past gaming experience or never got a chance to play these games jump on this deal. It would cost you WAY more money to buy all these original.

Blast from the past
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are so many good classic games in this collection that it is hard not wanting to go back and re-live old memories. Even if you have previously played some of these games there is plenty of content to keep you occupied, and if you have never heard of any of these games before then you are in for a treat! Keep in mind that most games in this collection will play as they were released (10+ years ago) so even with a visual update, the gameplay may feel antiquated to some. Highlights include Perfect Dark, the multiple Banjo-Kazooie games, and my personal favorite Jet Force Gemini.

An Epic Collection of Games New and Old
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rare Replay is the reason I purchased an Xbox One. Sure, it's got Halo, which I adore, but I had already spent enough time playing those and was fit for a retirement from the franchise, with the direction that Halo 5 is going (though I'm certain I'll end up playing it now). Not every game has aged well or is even something I consider worthy of being in this collection, and I wish there was more Battletoads in it, you simply cannot complain about a collection of 30 games spanning just over 30 years for just a small price. I would not pass it up.

The perfect nearly perfect collection of rare game
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I throughly enjoyed living through my childhood one more time. There only a few negatives but that doesn't really prevent the game from showing you a good time. First you will notice the omission of Goldeneye due to legal reason but at least the substitute of perfect dark can help fill the void. The other issue is that some of these games use the backwards compatiblity of the Xbox one which can take up some time to load it up and can take you out of the experience. All and all, for 30 bucks, you can't beat time timeless collection of games

Awesome game for all
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So when I picked this up it was really only to play the old Perfect Dark games. But when I installed it on my Xbox One, I was shocked to see all the great games that were included. I played a lot of games that I had missed out on for being either to young or just not knowing about the different genres. So far I have played through about half the games and so far have enjoyed them all. Recommend strongly for younger gamers as they games are fairly simple and parents, there are 30 games in this one box that provides hours of enjoyment.

AAAAAH!!!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had never heard of this collection until I saw it on the shelf at my local Best Buy. If you are in you mid 20s to early 30s and you ever owned a Nintendo 64 you MUST buy this game. It is literally 1 dollar per game and contains several gaming classics that caused me to nearly keel over from the nostalgia. I would have paid 30$ for just the Banjo-Kazooie series, but instead I paid 30$ and got that, Jet Force Gemini, both Perfect Darks, Conker's Bad Fur Day and about 2 dozen other pieces of gaming history. I love it.
