I was blown away at how well of a remaster this was. normally when a PS1 gets a remake or a remaster it wipes away a lot of that classic 5th gen charm and replaces it with a new sometimes more generic art style, but in the case of this remaster it was able to keep that charm the PaRappa series was known for; while also making the game's inpute delay a lot more tolerable making this remaster one of the best ways to play the first game if you're not into emulation.
The only downsides to this remaster is the 4th stage has this some weird impute problem where it delays your button presses causeing it to be ten times harder then it has any right to be. Still that's just one hiccup in an otherwise fantastic remaster.
