It's time for another Pick One! This week, we thought we'd celebrate Rare's 35th anniversary by going back and looking at 2015's superb Rare Replay collection on Xbox One.
The game features 30 titles from throughout the company's storied history, including the likes of Banjo-Kazooie, Battletoads, Perfect Dark and Viva Piñata. But which is your favourite?
Remember, you can only pick one!
You'll find a full list of games in the poll below.
Which is your favourite Rare Replay game? Let us know in the poll & comments below!
Which Is Your Favourite Game In Rare Replay? (399 votes)
Conker is definitely my favorite game! My mom never let me play it when I was a kid. It wasn't until 2017 I actually played it, and it's definitely in my top 5 games of all time.
A) That would be Jet Force Gemini for me, though I will admit that I have had so much fun with Atic Atac that it did make me pause to think on my answer.
Jetpac, R.C. Pro-Am 2, Sabre Wulf, Kameo: Elements of Power and Conker's Bad Fur Day are also enjoyable Rare games from that collection. I've also been meaning to try out Grabbed by the Ghoulies but have yet to get around to doing so.
It's very difficult to choose one when many are all-time classics. If I had to choose one it would be Banjo-Kazooie because it represents many things I love:
1. Great characters
2. English humour
3. Traditional European story
4. High-quality level design
5. Memorable music
It was a close call between Jet Force Gemini, Killer Instinct Gold and Banjo-Kazooie. In the end I went for Banjo-Kazooie, an absolute classic. I still think about that game and hum its various tunes on an almost daily basis
Banjo Kazooie, it has to be.... The music and level design have a timeless charm... Jet Force Gemini and Perfect Dark would certainly be my notable mentions, and Conkers Bad Fur day was good too!!
Jetforce Gemini is pretty special to me also and perfect dark. I’ve yet to try the Xbox banjo tooie I was disappointed with it on the 64 as the frame rate is terrible
No mattter how much I love Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark, I found it not very flattening to play the games again. The framerate and controls are a pain in the pecker, the training of Banjo Kazooie takes soooo long... and Perfect Dark with an actual good controller is almost too easy, taking away the original vibe.
@BlueOcean Hehe 😂... I think we must be the biggest Rare & Banjo fan's on here by far... I spent nearly an hour the other night listening to the level music for Banjo, nothing like Click Clock Wood all 4 season's on repeat 😀
I like a lot of games on this collection, but I think everyone should check out Gunfright. My buddy and I had way too much fun Lol, really made us laugh for some reason.

The person who chose perfect dark zero over perfect dark must have selected the wrong option surely....
KI Gold. I grew up playing that game with my cousins
Perfect Dark was so cool at the time! I need to buy it again on Xbox!

Killer Instinct
Banjo Kazooie..

Great collection, but I had to go with my guy Conker. Love that game and a sequel would be so great.

How the actual f*** is Nuts & Bolts so low? It's perfect.

@pip_muzz HA! This made me lol 😂
I had to go with Battletoads Arcade. Till Rare Replay came out the only way legally to play the game was owning the actually machine.
Despite the quality in the collection, it was easily Perfect Dark.
@pip_muzz
Haha! So true! Perfect Dark Zero’s campaign was..... ugh. 🙄
I was going to go with the original Perfect Dark, but I had to give Viva Piñata some love. That game was so much fun & a big surprise.
@BlueOcean English humour? No wonder it's not funny! /s
(I'm Irish, part of the joke)
Jet Force Gemini. All day. Sort of. Actually, Perfect Dark is the better game, but I feel like I've gotten enough of it.
Battletoads Arcade is amazing, Kameo is drastically underappreciated, and while Conker is great, Live and Reloaded is so much better than the original
Banjo Kazooie, it has to be....
The music and level design have a timeless charm...
Jet Force Gemini and Perfect Dark would certainly be my notable mentions, and Conkers Bad Fur day was good too!!
Conkers Bad Fur of course. 😁
Literally just completed banjo kazooie. That’s about six times on n64 and once on Xbox. It’s still better than a lot of modern games.
Jetforce Gemini is pretty special to me also and perfect dark. I’ve yet to try the Xbox banjo tooie I was disappointed with it on the 64 as the frame rate is terrible
@BANJO If you didn't pick a Banjo game, I would have been very disappointed
Conker the GOAT
@FraserG Has to be Banjo, prime reason I got an Xbox was for Rare Replay firstly, before Halo, Gears and Forza....
For real though there's surely a new Banjo game in development somewhere, right? Just leaving money on the table if not

@BANJO Same here although @FraserG didn't ask me! 😂 The reason I bought an Xbox One was Rare Replay before Halo, Gears, Forza or any other game 😁.
@BlueOcean Hehe 😂... I think we must be the biggest Rare & Banjo fan's on here by far...

I had to go with Blast Corps. That game just really clicked with me and at the time the visuals were awesome. Plus you got to wreck stuff!
