This game is SO MUCH FUN. You rap your way through an adventure/ love story. You are a cute/ hip dog, trying to win the love of Daisy. You learn to drive, bake a cake, karate, and sell merchandise by rapping. You even have to rap well to use the bathroom. Creativity is rewarded. I have yet to meet someone who has not LOVED this 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.
BAD BUY

Yes, "Parappa The Rapper" is geared towards the child, but anybody will have a ball playing with it. Parappa might not be the hippest hopper on Earth, but the irrepressible catchiness of the flows and the undaunting challenge to sound sweet... scratches any negativity. He raps his way thru, while learning karate with an onion-head Mr. Miagi, how to drive with a moose in law enforcement, how to succesfully sell junk with a reggae lizard, having to rap as a privelege to cut to front of a bathroom line, how to bake with a snippy hen, & how to just plum rock a crowd on stage in freestyle mode. Downsets include short stages and the fact that not everybody has the "funky flow" and will have a hard time progressing/impressing to go to the freestyling phase of each stage. I'm not saying that's me, but when it comes to rap, some people are just... gosh-awful! But that's the fun in it, the more you bounce back from receiving an "awful," the better your approach to the rap will be (hopefully). And who doesn't love the 2D cookie cut-out characters and graphics? All 'n all, a game for the child, and the adolescent who's not the ashamed to play this game. I know "Parappa 2" might have been released in Japan a while back, but I wish Sony will unleash it to America. I wonder if "Umjammer Lammy" is any good...

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.
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.
A cute game

This is the very first game I got for my PlayStation, and I fell in love with it instantly. Laugh if you want, but PaRappa was on my cake at my 13th birthday party. Anyway, the game mixes innovative flat graphics (because Parappa means paper thin in Japanese) and catchy tunes to bring audiences a light fun game in the midst of all the fighting and other fast paced games. Whether you're young or old, you'll fall in love with this adorable dog in a heartbeat.
Don't bother! The Graphics and story is LAME!
