I first thought that this game was too silly but when I tried it I got hooked! The game is much like Dance Dance Revolution. But you don't need a mat for this one. You basically get into the rhythm and the beat to move on to the next challenge. It is funny and entertaining. If you have a bunch of friends over you can really have a party with this one. As a solo game it is a one-of-a-kind laughter-inducing fun challenge. I highly recommend this for people who are looking for something fun and unique.
Short But Fun

The premise of the game is that you're PaRappa, a dog who raps his way through winning over the girl of his dreams, who happens to be...a sunflower? Rap your way through a garage sale, making a birthday cake, driving a car, and more.
The characters and situations are pretty funny, and get funnier if you mess up (especially the cake level.) The songs are ridiculously catchy and you may find yourself replaying levels just to hear the songs. The only downside to this game is that it is VERY short, and if you're good at rhythm-based games you can probably beat this one in a day. If you're looking for amazing graphics you may be disappointed, since the characters are all rendered as 2d cutouts, almost like a pop-up book. However, this is one of my favorite PSone games and if you like games that are a little on the silly side such as Katamari Damacy and Elite Beat Agents, this is a good game to buy.
Fantastic

There aren't many games that can top the fun of Parappa the Rapper. It's got great beats and great voices. So so so entertaining.
Kind of Lame

This is not a particularly exciting game, but it might be OK for little kids. I only bought it because it has a character in it named "Joe Chin," which happens to be my name.
BAD BUY

Parappa is awesome! I'm surprised no one's reviewed this game yet.
So it's not really much of a game, but it's so much fun. The raps get stuck in your head and you find yourself walking around saying "kick, punch, turn and chop the door.. or I will fall to the floor" It's hilarious.
While it's much easier for people who have good hand-eye coordination and a good sense of rhythm, occasionally the icons on the screen that tell you when to click aren't accurate, so you do have to rely more on when it feels right. So if you're rhythmically helpless you will have lots of frustration with this game.
The game's pretty short, but it's worth buying to watch the story and listen to the music, and it's fun to bring friends over and show it to them, even if it isn't a multi-player game.
AWESOME!

I've never laughed so much playing a video game -- a totally unique and entertaining game! You must try it to believe, not your average game.
The best music game

Parappa is different from almost every other game ever made (besides Unjammer Lammy). You hit different buttons to make Parappa say words, and try to be quick enough to keep the rap flowing and keep up with whoever is rapping with Parappa(like a chef chicken, an onion that knows martial arts or a frog who sells stuff). If you rap better than the character you're with you get to rap on your own for a while and make some horrible song. The game starts out easy but quickly gets difficult and many poeple quit after they get to the thrid level. Unfortunately, there are only 6 levels and once you beat them there's not much you can do with the game. Still,the comedy and original idea make it worth 5 stars.
