Pick One: Which Of These Rare Replay Games Is Your Favourite?

Back in the day when I played them on the N64
I would go Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark.
Thought BK was amazing back in the day.
I’m not great on nostalgia, I try for a little and think no great in it’s day but not much now with almost any old game.

@Royalblues
Kameo was a release game on the 360 when I got mine on release day. Really enjoyed it then was a great game. Give it ago for sure.

Viva Pinata, it's not even a competition back on the 360 it was my chill out game

LOVED Blast Corps back in the day on my N64 and frequently return to it on Rare Replay via Game Pass today. Tried playing Kameo recently and OOF, so awkward, had to put it down.

@Royalblues Yea unfortunately I don’t think Kameo has aged too well. Was an awesome experience at launch in 05/06 and could possibly still be worth a playthrough but definitely not what it was.

The screenshots of Kameo (and Perfect Dark Zero) was one of the reasons I preordered my 360 back in the day.

Erm, it's obvious which game is the best.
My name is a clue, a game that came packaged with my 48K Spectrum, Jetpac. 💁🏻‍♂️

Perfect Dark

So many gems in this collection. Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie and even Nuts & Bolts that belongs to a different genre but real fun once you learn the mechanics. Viva Piñata/Trouble in Paradise is a masterpiece. Trouble in Paradise is basically the definitive version. The Perfect Dark games are both cool and challenging.

Kameo takes a little time to get used to it but it's definitely worth playing if you start with patience. Grabbed by the Ghoulies is probably the biggest surprise. It's old-school arcade fun. This collection is how I discovered the Spectrum games, nice to have them in HD with the rewind feature. Some are very interesting. This is the best video games collection ever.

Blast Corps for me. I could still play on my N64 but it a bit easier to use the Rare Replay route.

Im Going to be in the minority but I think rare have been way overrated. Those older 8 bit games are awful nowadays, compared to say - super Mario Bros 3 - which is still playable and fun today. Jetman is the only game simple enough to know what the heck is going on with decent controls.

Even perfect dark looks like garbage and plays like it was made a century ago. I need to give banjo another look as y'all can't be that wrong.

I think the Conker remaster was a great experience on xbox, the N64 one is a bit too blocky these days.

So Ive plumped for conker and it would struggle to get in my top 150 games Ive ever played.

@Kopite not enough love for Viva Pinata here.

Sabrewulf was...an unexpected, but fun, surprise for me.

Conker was my favorite 3D platformer, I want a new one so bad.

Not a popular choice, but I’ll go with blast corps. Such a fun game, even today. I’d love to see rare doing something like that again with today’s tech. It’d blow our minds for sure.

Woo!! Some battletoads love. Side note… the Battletoads game that released recently was a gem.

Tough call with the Banjo games on offer but I went with Jet Force Gemini... still wish we'd gotten a sequel.

Easily Sabre Wulf.

really couldn't tell you. rare had pretty much an impact on me since i had my sega genesis with battletoads. i followed them all the way up to...nuts an bolts. an then that was about it sadly.

N64 Perfect Dark is still the best FPS ever made.

It's rammed full of so many ideas is hard to know where to start praising the game.

Not on the list. Command Attacks and Tron - both 360

I pick Banjo Tooie because after all these years of never seeing it reduced on 360, getting it here was so rewarding.

@JakobU It’s because the article is about Rare Replay on the Xbox One.

It's funny cause I started playing Banjo-Kazooie just yesterday via Rare Replay 😃

How can I choose between conker and viva pinata ? I can't do it my brain would turn to mush

Pick one?!?!? Oh don’t make me choose, I’d rather choose between my kids. Rare has made some incredible games in this collection. Banjo, Conker, Ghoulies, Kameo, Piñata…. So many great games. I’m hopeful Rare can get back to some of these franchises or make games that can sit next to them and feel like they belong to the Rare library. I am hopeful for Everwild but not holding my breath.

@EvilSilentFrame So we not just agree about Project Zero/Fatal Frame but also about Rare 👌😊.

@Banjo- we probably agree on so many games. I absolutely love Rare. I think they have made some brilliant games. I personally am more of a single player gamer than multiplayer. Not that I won’t ever dabble with multiplayer games, I will. My preference is more single player story driven experiences. It’s odd because I gravitate to horror and platformers and they tend to be at opposite ends because one is usually cheerful and the other is not, but I love everything else in between too.

@EvilSilentFrame Those are my two favourite genres, too.
