Product ReviewsPaRappa the Rapper (Sony PSP, 2007)

umm it's just a cute game?

I don't know why some people choose to make odd complaints that this game will make kids into 'wanna be rappers'. If you've ever played DDR or Bust-a-Groove, this game is similar. You have to hit the circle, triangle, square, or x button in time when it comes up. The apparently offensive raps consist of songs like 'punch kick it's all in the mind if you wanna test me I'm sure you'll find the things I'll teach ya is sure to beat ya, get ready to get a lesson from teacher' and then you have to jump kick and punch as the Onion karate guy give commands in his dojo.

Please don't let ridiculous reviews scare you off from letting your kids play this game! There isn't anything hard core, no cursing or derogatory images, it's just cute RHYMES!! And the art and characters are also really cute, 1 dimensionally, cute, with smiley faces.. This game is defiantly kid friendly for all age ranges. I'm really glad they made it for PSP, it was one of the first game I had for my PS1 when it came out so long ago! It's pretty easy to play, nothing complex, so it would be a great game for someone who is just getting into gaming too :)Read full review...

Great Game

This game is great and it’s a ton of fun! I personally love rhythm games. There wasn’t anything wrong about the game; at least to me. The graphics seemed fine, judging from how long ago the game came out. I’ve seen gameplay on YouTube and I’m happy to say, I wasn’t let down in real life. If you do choose to buy this game, have fun rapping, and let’s hope “you rapping good”! Read full review...

Excellent Classic, Loads of Fun! Great for Anyone! A+++

When it comes to defining moments in history, Parappa the Rapper takes the bar to a newer, Higher level. When first released for Playstation 1 in 1998, This game astounded many with the fun Gameplay and really got themselves involved in the storyline. This game lead to many newer style games, Such as Guitar Hero. As some may not enjoy the game as much as others, because it is very short and I can beat it in a mere 10 Minutes (If Storyline is Skipped) This is still an awesome game that can be enjoyed by many. If you are looking for a cheap, affordable way for everyone in the family to have some fun, this is the way to go. Help Parappa Becomes a Rap Hero!Read full review...

Kick punch its all in your mind

Before Guitar Hero, there was PaRappa the Rapper, the original match-the-beat music game. Originally on the Playstation 1, one of my favorite games. When I heard it was available on the PSP I just had to get it. Now I can take my favorite game on the go. Its unique in the style. When it first came out, it was the era of 3D games. But PaRappa went a different route by going 3D but making the characters flat-like, kind of like paper mario. It has its own music soundtrack where you follow PaRappa through karate, driving school, and many other adventures. I recommend this game to anyone looking for a good fun simple game on the go.Read full review...

Excellent funny game

PaRappa the Rapper is one of the first rhythm game. This volume though first published on the PSone, is still a lot of fun. The PSP version is nothing different from the one that was one PSone, but if you are a fan, it is a game to have on your handheld console; it will remind of the good times.

If However, you have never played PaRappa the Rapper, you will be quite delighted with it. It is a simple, and fun game to play; Don't be afraid with the word "RAP" the kind of rap this game has is just plain fun. You make your character "rap" by hitting the buttons at the right time. Though it might be hard at time to have the right timing, you will be rewarding with a "freestyle mode" in which you will be able to mix up your own words.

Though the game is a little short, it might take you about 2 to 6 hours to beat it, it is still fun the replay it even the thousandth time.Read full review...

Ah Yeah, I See Your Getting Better!

Parappa the Rapper (パラッパラッパー, Parappa Rappā?) is a rhythm video game for the Sony PlayStation created by Masaya Matsuura (the former leader of the Japanese "Hyper Pop Unit" PSY S) and his NanaOn-Sha company. Released in Japan on December 6, 1996, followed by releases in North America on October 31, 1997 and Europe in September 1998, it was one of the first rhythm video games.

While the gameplay is not challenging for experienced gamers, the game is remembered for its unique graphic design, its quirky soundtrack and its bizarre plot. Despite being made in Japan, all of the game's songs and dialogue are spoken in English in all versions. The game is named after its protagonist, Parappa, a rapping dog with the motto, "I gotta believe!".

It spawned a merchandising campaign in Japan, a spinoff in 1999, an anime series in 2001, and a direct sequel for PlayStation 2 in 2002. A PlayStation Portable port of the original game was released in Japan in December 2006 in North America and Europe in July 2007.Read full review...

Awesome!

I've always enjoyed playing this game for the Playstation and being that work has been quite hectic lately, I needed something to help me relax during those chaotic days at school. This game is not only addicting, but I find myself singing out loud when I am most stressed out and my students can't figure out what it is I am singing. Not only does it freak them out a little, but when I begin to tense up and they see it, they settle down because they do not want to hear me sing. I love what I do!Read full review...

Perfect ^.^
