    The PSP version includes a four-player multiplayer mode that lets you compete against other players. It's a decent addition, but the novelty is short-lived.

    It was nice revisiting the Dojo (Kick, Punch, It's all in the mind!), getting driving lessons, and selling junk at the flea market. It was like having old friends come to visit for a spell. But these old friends are all quirky and weird now, and they smell funny. The technical shortcomings give the game very low replay value, much different than the original.

It contains even more features that the PS1 game didn't have, like ad-hoc multiplayer, a gameshare demo, and downloadable remixes. The only issue with this is how hard Stage 4 and 5 are.… Full Review »

The game is still really flawed and doesn't control like other PaRappa games do. There is more flaws to this game as well.… Full Review »
