Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
This entirely unique and thoroughly entertaining game, co-developed in Japan and the U.S., features a hip-hop puppy animated in a whimsical, paper-thin style. PaRappa hopes to win the heart of Sunny, the object of his affection, by holding his own with an increasingly adept group of rap masters.

Players control PaRappa by rhythmically pressing the controller's buttons to repeat bits of rap songs in the proper order. The tunes and lyrics are catchy and clever, and the gameplay is completely original. Suitable for children and appealing to adults, this is a must-have disc for PlayStation owners who want to smile. Woven into the storyline are positive messages about self-confidence and respect. Highly skilled players can try their hand at free-form rapping to gain extra points. While this game has inspired sequels and copycats, it still holds up against the test of time. --Jeff Young

Pros:

  • Lighthearted, zany graphics
  • Clever songs and positive messages for children
Cons:
  • Can be frustrating for those without rhythm

I was about 20 when I first played this game and thought it was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen but the music was too catchy to resist. If you don't fall in love with this game then you don't have a pulse.

This game was one that I thought would be another kids game. It's not, it's actually tons of fun. The game play thou basic can get very tricky. Hand eye cordination is tested to the max with this on. And the songs aren't bad either.

This is an anomoly in my video game collection. Most of my games are either baseball, wrestling or boxing games. A few years ago though, myself and a bunch of my other drummer friends started playing this game as a means of practicing without going deaf. As in, do what parappa is supposed to do, but always change up the rhythms and see what works and what doesn't. Not only did our scores go through the roof, but it was an awfully fun way to waste a couple of hours a week. It's a great game, although it's short. Anyone can play it, almost anyone can beat it, and it hilarious even the 50th time through it. If sony is smart, they'll re-release this puppy (no pun intended) in a hurry. Better for them to ...
