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.

Game Ratings for PaRappa the Rapper Remastered Video Game.
TrustedReviews: 2.5 / 5 by Stuart Andrews
I love PaRappa and his ‘I gotta believe’ attitude, but this early rhythm action game no longer holds up. That’s no slur on its charming visuals, great music and superb animation, all of which look great in this HD update, but the gameplay just doesn’t really work. Enjoy PaRappa in your memories or on YouTube if you must, but this remaster will leave you thinking bad of the rapping pup and, really, who wants that?
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.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 6 / 10 by Chandler Wood
PaRappa the Rapper Remastered is a great throwback aurally and visually, but the frustratingly tight timing required and delay of PaRappa’s audio samples make it a chore to play. It’s a shame that the menu wasn’t reworked to highlight the additional arrangements or to take advantage of how control schemes were updated over time, and I’d rather just listen to the songs than hear PaRappa freestyle his own messy groove over the tracks for the sake of a high score. Still, as frustrating as it can be visiting an old friend that never grew up, there’s something endearing about playing PaRappa the Rapper almost exactly as it played 20 years ago, with a fresh, vibrant coat of paint on its audio and visuals.
Average score from votes.
