When did video games not allow replaying levels?

A little gamer rant but playing Batman Arkham Asylum and Assassins Creed 2, both fantastic games I realized that you couldn't replay levels even when you complete the game or even have multiple saves. Now I rented them so maybe I missed the options on both but if not why are game companies doing this in this generation of games where you would think we would have more options instead of less coming our way.

You pay 60 bucks, the least you can expect is some replay value.
