PaRappa is a short and fulfilling little game that is certainly not worth the amount of money it went for at retail nor in today's secondary market (speaking of the PS1 release of course). That being said, just because it's short doesn't mean it's a breeze. Whether you're playing the original or the remaster, most of your playthrough will be spent mastering the timing correctly. It's pretty much essential to your progress. While it sounds frustrating on paper, the game does a good job in every other department from the bouncy rap music to the funnily-designed characters and the colorful aesthetic. Even now it's still a noteworthy rhythm-game to play through.
