it’s time to replay some of the greatest
games of all time welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
video games by rare for this list we’re
going through rares entire catalogue to
pick out their absolute best and
considering how big that catalogue is
our usual one game per franchise rule is
in effect number 10 jetpack jetpack is
one of the most fun retro games from
rare not to mention one of the most
challenging as a daring jet man the
player must reassemble and refuel a
rocket ship to escape a distant planet
this wouldn’t be so difficult if fuzzy
aliens wouldn’t keep floating in your
way
jetpack will constantly keep you on your
toes well except for when you’re
skyrocketing between platforms if you’ve
got a copy of Donkey Kong 64 lying
around you can unlock a fully playable
version of jetpack hit it inside the
aforementioned title if you collect 15
banana medals
number nine blast core based on its
title you wouldn’t expect blast core to
be a puzzle game perhaps puzzle game
isn’t the best way to describe this
explosive experience though it’s really
more of a thinking man’s destruction
game players must make use of their
noggin and use a selection of bulldozers
trucks and giant robot mechs just to
clear a path for a very fragile nuclear
missile nice work a true ode to the art
of blowing things up
blast core is an often forgotten gem
metal this work number 8 Diddy Kong
Racing
it’s unfortunate that you can’t mention
diddy kong racing without bringing up
another n64 kart racer while Mario Kart
64 came out first Diddy Kong Racing is
still one of the most exhilarating and
imaginative racers ever plus it
incorporated air and water racing into
the equation long before Mario did the
game further comes complete with
colorful characters distinctive
racetracks and an infectiously catchy
soundtrack admit it if you played it the
theme for ancient lake still
occasionally pops into your head
also you can plan on seeing banjo and
conker resurfacing later number seven
perfect dark one of the best and most
unique first-person shooters at the time
Perfect Dark introduced gamers to joanna
dark
while she hasn’t starred in as many
games as Lara Croft and Samus Aran since
her initial debut this secret agent is
still among the most celebrated female
characters in gaming
Johanna is one of the driving forces
behind this action stealth gem which
combines the excitement of a spy
thriller with the atmosphere of a sci-fi
action adventure I think so what’s your
name
I’m agent dump Oh Joanne I prefer of
course rare signature multiplayer mode
returns here now more robust than ever
number six
killer instinct when people think of the
best fighting games in the arcade and
Super Nintendo libraries Street Fighter
and Mortal Kombat are the titles that
usually come to mind first
and although killer instinct may have
borrowed a fair deal from those classics
it still stands on its own with its
mind-blowing combos and merciless
fatalities it also has one of the
coolest rosters you’ll never see in a
fighting game how many games can you
think of that bring together an alien a
heavyweight champion a skeleton and a
human raptor hybrid altogether the game
truly delivers a say it with me now
number five battle toes now here’s a
game guaranteed to ruin friendships
which is probably why people prefer to
play Battletoads on single-player mode
even when riding solo this brawler will
still be one of the hardest gaming
experiences you’ll ever have even if you
were able to get past to the turbo
tunnel though Battletoads maintains a
high replay value for its striking
environments fun platforming and
hard-hitting beat’em of action
it’s clear that a game is awesome when
it constantly results in broken
controllers but has you coming back for
more
regardless
number four Conker’s Bad Fur Day
Conker’s Bad Fur Day is like Alice in
Wonderland with a fowler mouth the game
is essentially a road trip of sorts
where the hungover conker crosses paths
with numerous random characters
including a suicidal pitchfork count
Bakula and of course the great mighty
poo I am the great mighty poo aside from
being crudely hilarious and insanely fun
the game references everything from a
Clockwork Orange to Saving Private Ryan
we’re not sure what rare developers were
on when they conceived this masterpiece
but it’s truly one of a kind Frances
Carriere Katie’s Asperger’s G yeah yeah
go ahead kick it at number three and Joe
kazooie rare has taken us to some of the
most enchanting environments in gaming
and the world of banjo kazooie just
might be their most breathtaking it’s
hard to single out our absolute favorite
land in this platformer which includes
the picturesque
treasure trove Cove wonderous fries easy
peek and inventive click clock woods
those locations are so involving that
you’ll want to collect every item
complete every objective and see all the
sites available in grin tilde Slayer
this wonderful world would be expanded
upon in the exceptional and even more
challenging anjo to e number two Donkey
Kong Country 2 Diddy’s conquest
the first Donkey Kong Country is
undoubtedly among rares most iconic
outings but let’s face it there’s always
room for improvement it’s only fitting
that Diddy would take the center stage
in an even more impressive sequel with
Dixie acting as second banana talk about
a game that upped the ante in every
conceivable department from the graphics
to the music to the gameplay rares
partnership with Nintendo might be
history but modern Donkey Kong games
continue to learn from the example set
here before we get to our number one
pick here are a few honorable mentions
well number one goldeneye
double-oh-seven
if only rare had attained to the rights
to every major motion picture then every
video game based on a movie could have
been as awesome as goldeneye actually
when people think of goldeneye the movie
is usually an afterthought compared to
the landmark that is this game what can
we say about goldeneye that hasn’t been
praised already it’s shooting its
stealth it’s multiplayer everything
about the game is revolutionary and no
other James Bond title has ever been
able to top it since this games lazy is
forever embedded in solid gold
do you agree with our list and that is
this this crap is crappiest this dick
ass I’ve ever seen what’s your favorite
game bite rare for more entertaining top
