    PaRappa the Rapper: Remastered deserves a bit more than what Sony gives it here, and that’s certainly disappointing for this fan of the original. Still, it’s a technically solid remaster of a really fun game, so I’d still suggest picking it up. Especially if you haven’t played the game in a while, or ever for that matter. It’s one of the more unique and charming releases from the PS1 era, and PaRappa the Rapper deserves all the attention it can get.

    One of the most beautiful remastered games in the PlayStation library on the PlayStation 4.

    Parappa the Rapper Remastered reaches a good level and remains, after many years, a very nice game: technically this remastered is great although leaves a few aspects out and some extra content make it richer the the original one. The result overall is positive, but for a special occasion like this anniversary, honestly, we expected more.

    An excellent re-release of a PlayStation classic, even if it feels as though it squandered some of the potential it has as a new PlayStation 4 release. It still has the same excellent music, memorable characters, and zany charm it had when it originally released, and if you never got a chance to check it out, you’re in for a real treat. I hope Um Jammer Lammy gets the same treatment going forward.

    PaRappa can be as punishing as it is unconventional but, with an open mind, it may also be one of the best games you’ve experience on PlayStation 4.

    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.    … Full Review »

    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...........… Full Review »
