How Metascores Are Calculated

Parappa is a simple-minded and passionate type of guy and he's crazy about Sunny Funny. As Parappa faces a number of challenges, he bumps into rival characters, tries to get Sunny's attention and always gets into trouble. In a valiant effort to become a responsible pup and impress his one love, Parappa visits a karate dojou, takes driving lessons, works in a flea market, etc., in order to capture Sunny's heart. Will he succeed? You gotta believe! [Sony]

The kind of inexplicable game that you have to own.

PaRappa will win over anyone with his hipster looks and smooth style. [Nov 2001, p.50]

This game would be super fly at a party
You won’t be whizzing through it unless you’re super smartie.

From the beginning the music grabs you and sucks you in. It's so poppy and strange that you can't help but instantly like it, although you may not know why.

Gaming Age
Maybe it's because the cinemas that push the game forward are so amiable and bizarrely infectious with their dubiously likeable characters and ridiculous story that you simply can't escape the essence of the game.

Gamezilla!
One word of caution, though; if you have a bad neck, stay away from this game. It is virtually impossible to play without bobbing your head or moving some part of your body. You have been warned!

The game is on the short side and once you are well practiced it won't take much longer than 30 minutes to beat it. But believe this, this is one great party game, you'll be in stitches as people fumble their way through the rap when they first start. Parappa is a must have game.

IGN
PaRappa's only real problem lies in the length of the game -- it's way too short. However, once you've beaten it in good standing, you can ad-lib, or 'freestyle,' in the levels.

The music is incredible, catchy and well-written. But best of all, the concept is original.

GameCritics
The magic of PaRappa will not be easily cloned and we'll probably only get one like it in our lifetime. Sure to transcend cultural differences, PaRappa is special; plain and simple.

For the record, chicks dig PaRappa too, so if having a cute game means you can convince your otherwise game-loathing girlfriend to pick up a controller, "it's all good."

Great! Now even dorky white gamers think they can rap. [Jan 2004, p.188]

As a party game, PaRappa the Rapper is top notch. It is totally hilarious when you have the cheesy cartoon hip-hop pumped up loud and people get into difficulties trying to follow the lyrics in time.

Absolute Playstation
The amusing storyline, catchy tunes and the 'just one more go' gameplay combine to make it the perfect party game.

All Game Guide
The only real problem with Parappa is concerning the depth as this title really does not allow much variation and Sony have only included six fairly short levels.
