DESCRIPTION

PaRappa the Rapper is an unusual rhythm game starring paper-thin characters with a carefree, upbeat attitude. Help a rapping pooch overcome life's greatest challenges by mastering rhymes through careful button tapping. A horizontal meter is displayed along the screen's top edge, with button icons scrolling from left to right. Tap the corresponding button at the right time, and you'll continue the performance. The game includes six stages of offbeat songs, where you'll encounter such diverse characters as a singing onion, chicken, moose, frog, and insect. The ultimate goal is to impress the love of PaRappa's life: a dainty daisy named Sunny Funny. As you perform each song, you'll receive a rating based on how well you've followed the beat. Earn a "good" rating on all six songs and you'll be able to replay each scene in an attempt to receive a "cool" rating. A memory card is required to save your progress and high scores. Other options include song subtitles in five languages, a replay feature, and a practice stage. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
