PaRappa the Rapper 2

The sequel does not compare to the original.

I regret that this game did not meet the expectations that I had for PaRappa. I enjoyed the original very much. It was fun and had catchy songs. This one is none of those and too short of a game at that.
There were no improvements made on the graphics. Even though this game was made for the PS2 it didn't take advantage of the faster machine. The control for the game is the same as in the first one. The game centers around noodles that try to take over, so PaRappa must work the beats so they don't expand and fill up the screen. The music was not memorable and pretty insipid really. This game should have come out at $9.99 in order to be worth the money spent. I bought this game a while ago and only played in once through and have not touched it ever since.
Lets put it this way, If the game ever got stolen I would never file a police report.

  This game deserves more credit than it gets, it is a very solid sequel to the first game, the only real problem is that it is too short. The soundtrack is as good as the original, the game is very enjoyable, and it never... Read Full Review
