PaRappa the Rapper 2 is the pinnacle of the rhythm game genre. The characters' silly and charming personalities go hand in hand and complement each other very well. I do miss the FMV (Full-motion video) cutscenes from PaRappa 1(1996) and Um Jammer Lammy(1999) since they add a lot of quirkiness and bizarreness. But in reality, it's better with real-time cutscenes since they look much better.
The jammers are back and they are better than ever before. I wanted Lammy and her band Milkcan to come back, and sure they did! Love that!
The biggest thing that sets itself apart from its prequels is the timing. In the previous games, you had to be very precise, almost a bit too precise when it comes to the timing. You will fail in this game if you aren't rhythmically correct but at a much more acceptable level.
I wish PaRappa the Rapper all the best in the future. I hope Sony will bring back the series. Unfortunately, it looks as though our hero's days are bleak because it seems as though Sony's experimental days are over and everything that gets pumped out of that company is just another static mainstream The Last of Us Part 2(2020) looking game. Not that I don't like TLoU2, quite the opposite in fact, I just feel like we need a bit more variety in the AAA industry. Please come back PaRappa the Rapper! I gotta believe!
