That one sentence repeated over and over wouldn't make you want to view this page, would it? It's the same with video games - the same thing over and over gets boring after a while. Basically, replay value is how fun a game is after you've beaten it - either by starting a new game or by continuing the game after you've completed the main objective of it. Replay value is one of those things that reviewers (and players) look for in a game, so developers will usually try to squeeze as much replay value into a game as they can.
This can be done in several ways:
Scoring Points
Speed Run
Adding branches in a game to make it less linear, so you can experience different things in the same game.
Including a Karma Meter or Relationship Values so that every choice a player makes influences the game in a different way.
In RPGs and games with RPG Elements, having a number of different possible ways to build your main character or characters, such as specializing in weapons or magic.
Including some form of New Game Plus.
Including several bonus features, such as Superbosses or Bonus Dungeons.
Great music.
Generating certain things, such as levels, randomly. This is one of the reasons why Roguelikes have a tendency to have lots of good replay value, as well as why Video Game Randomizers are so popular.
Options that affect the gameplay, such as harder Difficulty Levels.
Including a Level Editor and other means for players to generate and share their own content.
Varied enemies\environments that require different skills to pass, or even different styles of play.
Multiple Endings
And just creating a good game in general.
For examples on how not to do it, see Fake Longevity.
Not to be confused with a target score in pinball that (most commonly) awards a free game when reached or exceeded, known as a "Replay."
