This game has some unique graphics that no other game uses and that makes the game different from other games. All the characters are flat paper-like figures and you will notice this when someone turns to the side. This graphic style makes the game fun to watch and play, but learning the game play will take a little time. When you start the game, you will easily figure out how to play and once you get the hang of it, you'll have a blast. On the screen in the first stage is the main character Parappa and a Karate instructor. When the song starts, the instructor will sing and tell you to kick or punch and you must press the correct button, either X, square, triangle, or circle when prompted to. The game rewards you for pressing the buttons correctly, but if you mess up, the music slows down and you start hearing quacking-like sounds. On the bottom left side of each level is a bar that shows if you're rapping bad, good and so on and if you miss too many notes, the game is over. Stage one is easy to complete and there are not many buttons on the screen that you need to press correctly. Songs get much more difficult after stage one, but with practice you will be able to complete them. Speaking of the songs, there are quite of few of them and each one is great and fun to listen to over and over again. In stage 2, Parappa needs to get his driver's license, so you get to hear a song rapped while he's driving in the car with a mean instructor. She will rap about what you have to do during the test and you will have to repeat what she says. It's a very catchy song, but one of the most hilarious songs in the game is when you have to bake a cake. This time Parappa's instructor is a proper and elegant chicken that raps about which ingredients go into the recipe. What's unusual about this stage is what items the chicken puts into the cake. Also, the chicken is not a good rapper because of her properness, however she pulls the song off and it's another classic song that will have you singing along. The best song in the game is quite possibly the music in the last stage. Once you play the whole game you will notice that there is an overall story being told and the final song features all of Parappa's previous teachers. In most of the songs, all Parappa does is repeat what his instructor says, but in the last song, he raps with his own ability. During this song, he is on a stage with a popular rapper, while his all his teachers are back up singers. The audience is also packed full of people shouting and screaming while Parappa raps. The best part happens when you play through this stage without mistakes; you get a chance to freestyle rap and earn extra points. When you finish playing the game, you can go back and play any of the stages if you have a memory card. If you don't have a memory card, you should get one if you don't want to have to play the entire game over just to listen to the best song, which is sung in the last stage. If you want to play a unique game that has awesome music and game play, you should play this one. |
