Top 5 Legendary Online Multiplayer Modes You Should Master in Rare Replay

Online Multiplayer! Everyone and their mother knows about it – and while mothers are primarily discussed in quick-witted shouting matches over servers that will one day rise up and overtake humanity, the advent of Rare Replay reintroduces a forgotten battleground of the past where only the hardest may survive. While standard bang-bang shooty fare may placate the masses, Rare‘s online additions brought bouts of innovation that you might have missed out on during their heyday. Friendly fire, in-depth co-operative play, and even some pastoral gardening; we’re covering the best of Rare‘s classic online Multiplayer titles that have since been included inside their epic compilation come August. Don’t miss out on these fan favorites a second time! These are the Top 5 Legendary Online Multiplayer Modes You Should Master in Rare Replay!


#5. DARKOPS AND DEATHMATCH WITH 32 SHADES OF DARK – PERFECT DARK ZERO (XBOX 360)


It’s been nearly ten years since Joanna Dark‘s explosive launch onto the Xbox 360 with Perfect Dark Zero and a further fifteen years from her intial debut in millenial offering Perfect Dark – after all of this time, these twin titles are still a joy to play! Ready to take the online world by storm once again, Perfect Dark Zero is fully loaded with an impressive capacity to host thirty-two players simaltaneously, turning every high-octane match into a frenzied showdown to come out on top. Deathmatch is waiting for players ready to get their hair trigger fix in Territorial Gains and Team Killcount, whereas DarkOps brings the tactical crowd to grips with Eradication and Sabotage. Together, these online modes have served players well for an entire generation, and this August we’re ready to live it all again!


#4. STOCKPILE AND SCORE, FRIENDLY FIRE AND HOARD! – JETPAC REFUELLED (XBOX 360)


Blasting off into the cosmic foray, Jetpac Refuelled served to reinvent the classic Jetpac formula, with suitable aesthetic upgrades and collection of achievements to keep things nice and contemporary. Arguably the most addicting addition came with its counter-operative mode introduced over Xbox Live Multiplayer where you’ll face off against a space-faring rival. You’ll both be tasked with scouring the planets surface for valuable items needed to construct, fuel and eventually blast your ship into the stratosphere. To gain a competitive edge you’ll need to turn your sights on your combatant and steal their items after you’ve blasted it from their grip; this turns every match into a race of ebb and flow thievery with a score that can switch hands just as easily at any moment – it’s contested rivalry at its finest!


#3. THERE’S POWER IN NUMBERS, AND CO-OP IN PAIRS – KAMEO: ELEMENTS OF POWER (XBOX 360)


Mastering each of the elemental warriors and their abilities is a crucial task in Kameo: Elements of Power where swapping back and forth between the elfin heroine’s creatures will take you closer to Thorns demise with a plethora of achievements to unlock along the way. If you’re ready to transform the title into something of an unprecedented treat, look no further than Kameo‘s online Co-Operative mode which allows another shape-shifting player to join in during your quest. Taking twice as many transformations in stride, the title will present more opportunities to use the elemental warriors as a team, with new ways to take on the Troll army and the daunting bosses alike. With a selection of achievements specifically catered to this innovative co-op experience, Kameo is a gift that keeps on giving.


#2. IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME… ONLINE – BANJO-KAZOOIE: NUTS & BOLTS (XBOX 360)


There’s something to be said about the slightly concerning ingenuity and determination of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts players, as they’ve managed to use nothing more than a selection of vehicle parts and a lot of dedication to build everything from rovving tanks to hulking robotic mechs made to traverse the landscape with awe-inspiring strides. While Nuts & Bolts recieved some love in 2008, its reappearance in Rare Replay should give the title a bit of a renaissance. Show off your works in the Test-O-Track where fans of your ride can recieve the blueprints by snapping a picture and then provide you with some constructions of their own. Creative energy will register an all-time high as you conquer the football pitch, zip around the race tracks and share your creations with everyone you meet online!


#1. FOUR GREEN THUMBS ARE BETTER THAN ONE! – VIVA PIÑATA: TROUBLE IN PARADISE (XBOX 360)


While the original Viva Piñata title introduced players to an island populated with potential residents, its sequel managed to expand the island territories to the Piñarctic and Dessert Desert regions and bring online interaction with mysterious new Piñata‘s and their owners to the center of attention. Players could now enter each others gardens, tending to their residents and building new additions with up to four avid gardeners sharing a single plot and multitasking their way to greener pastures. Piñata Paperchase helps to liven things up and inspire a bit of friendly competition with a bit of racing, and sharing residents as gifts has returned from the original Piñata title, which should have things blossom and bloom in no time! We’re excited to get to know some new gardeners in Rare Replay!
