    It has been almost 20 years since Parappa the Rapper, and many of us still have good memories from it. Sadly, Parappa the Rapper doesn't hold up in 2017, mostly because some really poor mechanics. Do yourself a favor: don't buy this, and keep the memories as they were.

    The timing in this game is so completely and utterly messed up to the point where there is no way to get better at it. You'll hit the timingThe timing in this game is so completely and utterly messed up to the point where there is no way to get better at it. You'll hit the timing perfectly so he raps along in beat and you'll lose all your points. Then you'll push a jumble of **** that doesn't line up at all and you'll go up a rank.

    This game has no rhyme or reason to it, which is completely **** because it's supposed to be a RHYTHM game.

    Any possibility of this game being fun is ruined by it's horrible game play.

    Poor remaster of a good game. Timing is inaccurate leaving it broken. Great visuals, great sound, poor control, as mentioned by otherPoor remaster of a good game. Timing is inaccurate leaving it broken. Great visuals, great sound, poor control, as mentioned by other reviewers. If it can be patched to match rhythm better it would be a solid 8/10. As of now its not worth the asking price. Full Review »

    have personally not played the original ps1 game so when I heard that they were going to be remastering this game I thought I give it a chancehave personally not played the original ps1 game so when I heard that they were going to be remastering this game I thought I give it a chance and for the price it is at right now it is a good recommendation for those who want to see what it was like with such likeable characters, great music and more that should charm you even though I wish some of the menus look a bit more up to date but still at the price it is going at I can recommend at least trying this out in the demo first when seeing if it is good enough for you to want to buy the full thing...........
