VGChartz's Daniel Carreras: "So, is Rare Replay worth a purchase? Undoubtedly. If you enjoy retro gaming or you're an old school Rare fan then I cannot recommend it highly enough. Its value proposition is almost unrivalled and the extra features add a twist of modernity to what could have easily been a quick cash grab collection."
As an Xbox website, it would be remiss to say that the Xbox One has had its’ detractors this generation. After stumbling about with their Xbox One reveal a few years before, Microsoft and their gaming brand were in a period of transition. But Rare Replay had another trick up its sleeve to appeal to a core Xbox audience. Their announcement promised 30 games priced at £20, with 10000 Gamerscore. It was an achievement hunters wet dream.
Everyone knows Halo, Gears of War, and Forza. But which other exclusives on Xbox One that you should absolutely be playing?
None of those games are "Xbox One Exclusives".
What if I wrote an article about these same game and said they were "PC exclusive"? lol...Xbox fans would erupt.
Moral of the story - if you want to play exclusives you must have a PlayStation, it's the best bet.
I personally only bought the Xbox one when i did because I had to have Titanfall. That game is so underrated in how it revolutionized the movement in the genre.
None of those games is exclusive to Xbox One. Rare Replay is a collection of Nintendo games and the rest are available on Steam.
Rare replay has a bunch of older Rare Nintendo games on it, but also has a selection of Xbox and Xbox360 exclusives on it which are not available on steam (Grabbed by the Ghoulies, PDZ, Kameo,Viva Pinata etc)
Rare Replay is an exclusive in terms of the overall one proudct package and its surprisingly decent for the cost, but I think it really shows how dire a situation it is when people are having to put Rare Replay on a list trying to promote Xbox Exclusives... Jesus its been a hard gen for people who only bought Xbox's.
While Banjo-Kazooie will arrive soon in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, players should check out other great games by Rare!
No blast corps?!, get out! As for sea of theives why does it say Rare Replay:Sea of thieves that wasn’t part of it when I played have they patched it in? Can’t see it myself haha
Awesome review and on point but I did not notice any bugs when I was playing. After playing Perfect Dark again, I really want them to reboot this series as it held a lot of promise.
this is a steal for 30 dollars, must have for x1 owners
My kids love this collection and having old school 2 player challenges on the early games has been a blast!
The game is awesome & a great deal! Go get it...
