PaRappa defined the rhythm genre. Lammy perfected it.

I've played PaRappa 1 and 2 before and now I've finally got around to playing this game. I can proudly say that not only is this the best rhythm game I've played, but also one of the best games I've played.

The gameplay is simple, you get a sequence of buttons to press and you have to press them in time with the stage's song. Simplistic, but really fun.

An improvement this game has over PaRappa 1 is that the timing in UJL is much better than in PaRappa 1. But it still has a welcome amount of difficulty, unlike PaRappa 2, which I felt was too easy.

I deducted half a star because the difficulty for stages 6 and 7 can feel frustrating sometimes, but otherwise a really great game that, along with PaRappa 1, became a pioneer for the rhythm game genre.

It also gave us the best cutscene of all time
