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.
God is a Geek: 6 / 10 by Chris White
It may not hold up to the current crop of rhythm games, but there’s still lots to love about this 20-year old classic. Besides, who doesn’t appreciate a love story between a rapping dog and a sassy sunflower?

Parappa returns, looking like 2017, but still rapping like 1996.
Push Square: 6 / 10 by John Cal McCormick
PaRappa the Rapper Remastered is a time capsule from the late 90s – warts and all. The high-definition gloss might make the game look better than ever, but it can't mask how the genre has moved on in PaRappa's absence. The mechanics don't hold up against the competition of today, but the fantastic soundtrack, charming characters, and budget price should prove more than enough to get the nostalgia juices flowing in anyone who re the old dog's first outing 20 years ago. You gotta believe!
