OMG I had fun with this game even if I was terrible at it. PaRappa just a colorful character even if he feels cardboard cutout . if you want a challenge in rhythm then up the difficultly
I loved this game growing up the characters are memorable, songs are catchy, and the gameplay was super fun. I'd love to play this again, but upgraded TVs have a delay making it hard to play. It would be nice to play it with accurate controls.
