Replay boasts some remarkable and varied titles, such as inventive shooter Perfect Dark, ludicrously funny Conker’s Bad Fur Day, the tricky Battletoads, and Banjo Kazooie, the closest any game has come to aping Super Mario. Thirty of its games are given a new lease of life here on Xbox One as a celebration of the studio’s 30th birthday. Rare ReplayĪ UK development institution that is responsible for some of the greatest games ever produced, Rare is quite rightly receiving a much-deserved career retrospective in this outstanding package. PHĬonker’s Bad Fur Day: ‘ludicrously funny’. But without any new content, this might be a better title for those who haven’t played the original. Controls feel a little slower, slightly mis-translated, though the combat’s core is still solid and visceral. Most work seems to have gone on Kratos himself, adding a shining and smooth quality to his skin. Other areas look to have been missed, leaving several characters looking strange and plastic. The 2010 original was a real jaw-dropper, maybe the best-looking title of the generation, but this upscaling is patchy. Kratos is an unpleasant figure, brutal and totally amoral, and his quest seems to do more harm than good. Kratos, the gore-slicked Spartan warrior, rips his way through a menagerie of mythological monsters in a quest to take revenge on Zeus, king of the gods. Has vengeance ever looked so good? God of War III is all about scale and spectacle, opening with the towering titans laying siege to Mount Olympus and going on from there.
