PaRappa the Rapper (PS) Reviews

This was one of the first PlayStation games I bought. What really appealled to me was the cute japanese animation (Parappa has his own show in Japan) and the simplicity of the game. Its easyish to get into, but the levels get increasingly bizarre and difficult! The idea of the game is to get Parappa, the paper thin dog ...  Read the complete review

... then make it this one. You've got to hand it to the Japanese as they really do have the most original ideas for games and they also execute them exceptionally well. Take Bishi Bashi, Vib Ribbon, Chu Chu Rocket and other fantastic examples of gameplay before graphics and official licences. This is really basic gameplay but often the most ...  Read the complete review

All you have to do is press buttons in time with words appearing on the screen. This makes you 'rap' the song. Do it well with little mistakes and you go on to the next level. Else, you must do it again (losing lives). Replay the level and do VERY well, then you can do it freestyle. Progress through the six levels (with training level) and ...  Read the complete review

This is a unique game. The main aim is to copy sequences of buttons presses displayed on the screen, keeping to a rhythm. This is far more fun than it sounds, as your button presses correspond to the rapping of the cartoony PaRappa - his proficiency depends on yours. The style is cutesy, the music fun and compelling enough to make you ...  Read the complete review

It isn’t very often that a game like PaRappa finds its way out of the great cookie-cutter factories they call games development houses. For quite a while Sony was unsure if it should release PaRappa here, fearing US gamers wouldn’t find the game as amusing as they did in Japan. Whether it actually does catch on remains to be seen, but ...  Read the complete review

You play a dog, Parappa, who has to rap his way past arch-rivals Master Onion and Cheap Cheap Chicken to win over your darling, a flower called Sunny Funny. The games focusses on timing and music rapping (inc. beats) It really is the kind of game that you will want to play ...  Read the complete review

Parappa The Rapper is a very unusual game. It stars a rapping dog, and the object for the player is to press the triangle, square, circle and X buttons very quickly in a certain sequence, which is displayed on screen. A lot of music is used which really adds to the game, and this is a brilliant game which is very addictive and will have you ...  Read the complete review

Parappa the Rarappa is a fresh, funny game. One that started a whole new genre - music creation. Music 2000, that Dolphin undersea game, Bust-a-Groove...they all came out afterwards, inspired by this little game. Being a first generation PS game, Parappa's graphics aren't that good. Characters are flat but bend to move, which ...  Read the complete review

This game is so original that it is unbelievable. It is also very simple – press the buttons in the right order in time to the music, easy. Yes it is. Too easy and the game is also very short. Other than that this is a good game. Good in the sense that it is worth the money that some places are offering it for. This game will do but yet it ...  Read the complete review

Parappa The Rappa is the most funniest game I have very played on. O.K, it doesn't have great graphics but never the less it is still brilliant. You spend all your time dancing to rap music trying to get the correct moves in time with the music. You also get an instructor who will help you along the way. It is the kind of game ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the most original games I have ever seen there is just absolutely nothing like it in the gaming world. The basis of the game is to copy what the leaders do to make music. For example the first person you come accross is this karatae onion head thing. Now the buttons you have to press appear across the top of the screen and when the ...  Read the complete review
