The seminal rhythm game makes its PSP debut with a chunk of new content, but the gameplay hasn't quite withstood the test of time.
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.
Playing PaRappa the Rapper in 2007 is a little bit like trying to fight in a modern war with an ancient spear you dug up out of some archeological site. The game is a relic of a time when rhythm games were just trying to get their footing. It's far more interesting as something to look back on than it is something to play in an age when the rhythm genre has gone and leapt several tall buildings from where it was a decade ago. So it's a bit curious that PaRappa would see a release as a proper $30 PSP game as opposed to a cheaper PlayStation Network download, which has been the case with several other notable PS games. The added content in the form of a tacked-on multiplayer mode and some downloadable remixes isn't enough to justify the price tag either, so what you're left with is an overly expensive curiosity from the past that probably won't hold your attention for terribly long.
