A fantastic game, but a short, limited one. Not really worth the asking price, and not as good as "Gitaroo Man." [May 2007, p.66]

This is a classic in my book, and I'd love to rate it higher than I am. However, time marches on, and by today's standards PaRappa isn't the top dog anymore. [July 2007, p.106]

There's a sense of satisfaction to slogging through each challenge in normal mode, but with only six levels to beat even this proves to be a hollow victory. [Aug 2007, p.109]

The best rhythm game on earth I had a blast playing through this game. For anyone who has a PS1, psp, ps4, or ps5 I would highly recommend it. It deserves to be on the top ten list. And the music's great.

Retains all the charm it had ten years ago. [Issue#155, p.84]

Despite the aforementioned low replay value, however, I'm glad PaRappa the Rapper was released. It still holds up even today, and perhaps having some renewed attention given to the Hip-Hop Hero will convince Sony to have a development house revamp PaRappa the way it should have been revamped, instead of the horrific sequel we got five years ago.

The good news is that PaRappa the Rapper, along with Gitaroo Man Lives!, proves that you can have solid music games on the PSP.

Sony has included multiplayer and some downloadable songs. The graphics also look remarkably good for a game that’s 10 years old. These features help to elevate the game, but are just not enough to save it.

I suppose PaRappa might find a niche fan base on the PSP, but most of us will be seeking our musical entertainment elsewhere.

If you find it cheap somewhere or fancy renting it then you'll doubtless have some fun with it. But can I hand on heart recommend anyone paying full price for it? Nope, not in the slightest, but I kind of wish I could.

It's a great game on the PS1, and now you can play it anywhere at anytime! 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.

One of the great games that has been created for the PlayStation to the PSP. It's still the same from the original PS One classic.

I was going to give this a 7 but I decided it is the psp and it is a handheld so I'll give credit. The game is still really flawed and doesn't control like other PaRappa games do. There is more flaws to this game as well.
