    Whilst being very short, I loved this game, one of those games that make me take the dust off my PS2.. and somehow manage to get me hooked on it.
    It has very catchy music and raps, the kind that I always come back to listen again over and over.
    The plot is nothing epic or something, but it's very funny and keeps you asking for more.

    An unnecessary and cheesy, but nonetheless solid effort to relive a cult classic. Pros: The high res 2-D sprites are refreshingly old school; hilarious story and characters; additional Practice and Battle mode are handy. Cons: Too little, too short, too pricey; no replay value; some of the lyrical content is a bit too bizarre.

    Lets face it, you all played the demo a lot. It's fun catchy and I've seen it out for about £25. Which is a nice little price for a nice little game. Get it for your little sister to keep her silent for hours on end, just don't expect to get near you PS2 for ages!

    An all right game, but nothing they couldn't have made for PSX. There's really nothing innovative here. Finished in about 2 hours. Rent once, and you'll be sated.

    Exact same premise as the original, but executed with a lot more care.

    The story, visuals and music are plenty of wacky fun, even though they aren't much of an improvement on the first title. The game-play is what it is however, just hitting the button prompts. At least in this time around, the accuracy is a little more forgiving than the original. Plus, there is a lot more reward given    Exact same premise as the original, but executed with a lot more care.

    A small improvement as a sequel, but not much to add. It's a very niche game, however, sure isn't without it's charm.    … Expand

    A fun game that doesn't have nearly enough gameplay -- or enough replay value -- to warrant a purchase.

    Disregard this misalignment though, and you’re left with an enjoyable aural romp which, whilst slight and, on occasions, extremely forgiving, makes up for most of its shortcomings by hitting you with damn funky music.

    An almost total lack of innovation makes the game seem pretty dated when compared with other games on the market.
