PaRappa the Rapper Remastered is a game we’d recommend to every die-hard PlayStation fan, but being a straight-up remaster is a double-edged sword. On one hand it preserves everything about the original game PaRappa fans love, albeit in a much higher resolution, but on the other, it shuns new features or a revised approach to its rhythmic gameplay....

The Remastered Version of Parappa the Rapper improves on the graphic style of its original version. Now the game runs on PS4 PRO at 4K but the nostalgic appeal remains unchanged.
A nostalgic game that lives better on our minds that in reality.
PaRappa The Rapper Remastered is a controversial Ultra HD Edition with updated graphics and cool music, which suffers from broken controls and blurry cutscenes. The game can be recommended only for fans of the series. Everyone else can safely skip.
A rhythm game that can't match the standards of today's gaming in almost no department. You could be interested on it because of nostalgia, but there isn't any more substance to it that that.
