    WARNING! Rare replay forces you to download 8gb worth of videos just to play the games. Make sure you know that before you buy. No way to not install it.

    I really wish the game was better, i loved N64/SNES era Rare but most of these games are broken and don't even run at a stable framerate which is horrible for a (Next Gen Console) Please avoid buying this until it's fixed and fully playable.

    Bought this with a lot of expectation.Had loved playing Banjo,Blastcorp and even Sabre Wulf when they first came out.Even the more recent Kameo was the first 360 game I saw and IMHO remained one of the best games on the platform.I put the disc in with my 8 year old son who was expecting a treat to see what 'daddy used to play in the olden days'.
    However, the games were disappointing and    Bought this with a lot of expectation.Had loved playing Banjo,Blastcorp and even Sabre Wulf when they first came out.Even the more recent Kameo was the first 360 game I saw and IMHO remained one of the best games on the platform.I put the disc in with my 8 year old son who was expecting a treat to see what 'daddy used to play in the olden days'.
    However, the games were disappointing and just not up to modern expectations.The instant death thing on the early games with no real reward very quickly put off my young lad.The controls on Blastcorps were not precise and a couple of minutes of the bullzozer jiggling all over the place was enough.Banjo and Kazooie Tooie was next and even that seemed very lame with features like 3d areas and flying, that were cutting edge then, appear ordinary in 2015.The only one that really entertained myself and my son was Kameo.It has modern day quality and plays smoothly (was the plant the basis for Plants vs Zombies?).Overall a nice museum style nostalgia trip but the games have lost a lot of the cutting edge magic and appear meh now unfortunately :(    … Expand

    Rare Replay features Ultimate and Rare classics from three decades. Simply a big slice of essential videogame history. [Nov 2015]

    A great collection of classics that for many players represents the best way to experience what Rare was back in the day. Some great titles of the Nintendo era are missing (for obvious reasons) but what is there is more than enough to have lots and lots of fun. Also, the new challenges are sure to amuse the best players out there.

    The collection lacks some important games but still is a treat made with love and thoughtfulness. [10/2015, p.70]
