In order to succeed in love, he learns karate from Chop Chop Master Onion, how to drive from Instructor Mooselini, how to sell stuff at a flea market from Prince Fleaswallow, and learns how to cook from Cheap Cheap. But as long as he’s got the power of rap and his motto “I gotta believe!”, he’ll keep doing his best to catch Sunny’s eye. Whether it’s bad luck, his own incompetence, or being overshadowed by the rich rambler Joe Chin, Parappa just can’t catch a break. However, whenever he tries to impress her, something always seems to go wrong. Parappa is a young dog who hangs out his friends PJ Berri, Katy Kat, and Sunny Funny – the girl of his dreams. However, it’s also an example of a game where presentation goes a long way to making up for interesting but frustratingly inconsistent mechanics.
As the first popular game in the rhythm-action genre, backed up by a distinct art style and musical sensibility, PaRappa demonstrates this in spades. The greatly expanded capabilities of the system allowed for genres to blossom in ways that hadn’t previously been possible in the mainstream scene, while the ease of developing for it resulted in a library of memorable, idiosyncratic games. If there’s a game that defines the impact and possibilities that the original PlayStation brought to video gaming, it’s PaRappa the Rapper.
