    Quite straightforward, Rare Replay is a very good bundle of all those games that brought RareWare to fame. A must buy if you've never experienced those, more of an impulse buy if you already own many of the games it contains.

    RARE Replay is a casual option for Rare's semi-fans that have an Xbox One. If you can ignore its emulation mistakes you will enjoy 30 great games.

    Suggestions that the collection was rushed to the shelves is also evident by the fact that nine games are not in the Rare Replay files, instead, they’re Xbox 360 games ported over through the backward compatibility emulator on the Xbox One. As a result, instead of booting up instantly like every other game in this collection, it takes you out of Rare Replay, starts the Xbox 360 game you selected, waits for the 360 logo to play, and then begins the game.

    Oddly mixed pot of video games connected only by the same dev studio - Rare. Most of the games are targeted to old-school gamers. Alas, package doesn’t contain the GoldenEye 007! [Issue#256]

    So, yeah, we've gotten very accustomed to these video-game walks down memory lane. But that doesn't keep this stroll from being a pleasant one.

For me it runs perfectlyRare Replay is a fantastic collection of games with titles such as Conkers Bad Fur Day, Perfect Dark and Blast Corps. For me it runs perfectly I've had no problems with it and found it well worth the price. There are features like Rare Revealed which is basically documentary footage about the studios history and and some of their games development.… Full Review »
