PaRappa the Rapper Remastered for PS4 is a remaster of the music game that was released on PlayStation in 1996 and ten years later for PSP.
We play as the titular PaRappa, the rapping dog, who tries his best to win the heart of Sunny Funny, his crush. PaRappa is aided by his two friends, cat enthusiast Katy Kat and the chubby bear PJ Berri, in his musical shows. Joe Chin, a rich and narcistic dog, also is interested in Sunny Fynny. This not-so-complicated plot does not influence gameplay at all, it only serves as a mere background.
Besides being a good rapper, the protagonist of PaRappa the Rapper Remastered for PS4 also has to impress Sunny Funny in other ways. First of all, we will have learn kung-fu and get a driving license. We will also have to learn how to sell stuf on the flee market, and buy a new car with the money we earn. Learning to preapere some sea food dishes will also come in handy. Each of those tasks we do to the beat of music, so we have to have a good sense of rhythm and know the game’s controls well. One of the new features of PaRappa the Rapper Remastered is the usage of the Dualshock 4 controller as a metronome.
Even though the gameplay in PaRappa the Rapper Remastered for PS4 remains unchanged, the game has now improved visuals. Those of you who own PlayStation 4 Pro and 4K TV screens may experience the game in Ultra HD resolution.

PlayStation 4 remasters are like a box of chocolates – you never know what you will get. Sometimes, it is a chance to play a fantastic classic title – but sometimes you will have to suffer because of huge response delays.
Game Ratings for PaRappa the Rapper Remastered Video Game.
PlayStation Universe: 5 / 10 by Neil Bolt
PaRappa The Rapper Remastered is not quite the hero’s welcome PaRappa deserved. I wanted to believe, and there’s evidence here of why the game is fondly remembered, but this particular dog has had his day.
Shacknews: 8 / 10 by Brittany Vincent
PaRappa the Rapper: Remastered is an excellent re-release of a PlayStation classic, even if it feels as though it squandered some of the potential it has as a new PlayStation 4 release. It still has the same excellent music, memorable characters, and zany charm it had when it originally released, and if you never got a chance to check it out, you’re in for a real treat. I hope Um Jammer Lammy gets the same treatment going forward.
Metro GameCentral: 6 / 10
One of the most influential rhythm action games ever made, but the graphics and gameplay are definitely show their age – remaster or not.
