This is not a particularly exciting game, but it might be OK for little kids. I only bought it because it has a character in it named "Joe Chin," which happens to be my name.

I know the price is pretty high for an old video game but it is so worth it. The video game was well taken care of.

The premise of the game is that you're PaRappa, a dog who raps his way through winning over the girl of his dreams, who happens to be...a sunflower? Rap your way through a garage sale, making a birthday cake, driving a car, and more.
The characters and situations are pretty funny, and get funnier if you mess up (especially the cake level.) The songs are ridiculously catchy and you may find yourself replaying levels just to hear the songs. The only downside to this game is that it is VERY short, and if you're good at rhythm-based games you can probably beat this one in a day. If you're looking for amazing graphics you may be disappointed, since the characters are all rendered as 2d cutouts, almost like a pop-up book. However, this is one of my favorite PSone games and if you like games that are a little on the silly side such as Katamari Damacy and Elite Beat Agents, this is a good game to buy.

Parappa the Rappa is the best game ever made by human hands. Seriously, the only person who could make a better game is Lord Jesus Christ himself and he only made one game and that's Valkyrie Profile, but this is like the second best game ever because you're like some dog and you rap about baking cakes and waiting in line to poop at a restroom all while trying to woo your own true love who is a flower or something. You don't even need acid to enjoy this acid trip. Seriously I have learned so much about rapping from this game that I am now a professional rapper and I have a record deal and everything. Kick, punch, it's all in the mind, unf.

I grew up playing this game, and when it came out I had never seen anything like it. As a music game, it is more about feeling the beat than watching the screen. The button timing is very well done. The graphics in the game are "flat" (think paper-mario) and very colorful. The characters are all very unique with highly different styles of music. From Mr. Onionhead to the Reggae Frog, this game will keep you singing long after you turn it off.
My personal favorite thing about this game is freestyling. You can press the buttons as you feel in time to "freestyle". If you get up to the level of "cool" then it's just you on stage, freestyling for a ton of points. Each levels "cool" stage is very different and unique and as you progress through the game, reaching the "cool" stage becomes quite difficult. While the game may appear short, if you love music games and will replay the same levels to reach each the status of "cool" on each level, you will have plenty of play time with this game. You just gotta believe this game is good.

I first thought that this game was too silly but when I tried it I got hooked! The game is much like Dance Dance Revolution. But you don't need a mat for this one. You basically get into the rhythm and the beat to move on to the next challenge. It is funny and entertaining. If you have a bunch of friends over you can really have a party with this one. As a solo game it is a one-of-a-kind laughter-inducing fun challenge. I highly recommend this for people who are looking for something fun and unique.
