PaRappa finally gets some quality alone time with
love interest Sunny Funny... but ends up desperate
for the loo. Typical. To jump the bathroom queue, he
must go head-to-head with all four of his equally
incontinent teachers in a rap battle. Things get
buttock-clenchingly intense when double-lined
rapping is introduced.
CLASSIC LEVEL
B
elieve it or not, this beanie-
clad, paper-thin rapping
dog and his merry band
of adorable weirdos are
spoken of in reverential tones. The
first ”modern” popular rhythm game,
PaRappa the Rapper was joyous and
eccentric – a tale of love, faith and the
all-conquering power of spitting bars.
Punching buttons had PaRappa mimic
mentors’ rhymes for a “U rappin Good”
rating. Unforgivingly precise timing
windows garnered it a mythic reputation
for difficulty, but it was worth it all to
chop, kick and punch in Master Onion’s
dojo or pass a driving test using only the
power of hip-hop.Developer NanaOn-Sha
