The Good
Still one of the best original soundtracks ever put into a rhythm game, A cute and charming storyline, Graphics hold up shockingly well for a decade-old PlayStation game.
The Bad
Gameplay doesn't hold up, both in terms of difficulty and variety, Multiplayer mode is lackluster, Downloadable remixes aren't up to the quality of the original soundtrack, $30 price tag is a rip-off for something that should have been a PlayStation Network download.
The Bottom Line
PaRappa The Rapper, the beloved rapping puppy and hip-hop icon that debuted on PlayStation in 1997 returns to the stage for a 10th anniversary encore exclusively on PSP. This PSP title features all the characters, levels and songs from the original. PaRappa The Rapper increases the franchise's social appeal by offering a host of new PSP exclusive features, including the ability to let up to 4 players to rap head-to-head in ad-hoc battles and share a demo level wirelessly with other PSP systems. Additionally, through PSP's Infrastructure Mode, players can download and rap along with 8 playable remixes.
