LADYDRAGON.COM - Parappa the Raper 2

Developed by Nanaon-Sha and published by Sony is a musical game done exclusively for the PlayStation 2.

Parappa is a the story of young dog that goes to the Beard Burger place and finds out that all the food and burgers are turning into noodles. So he gathers his friend Katy Kat, P.J. Berri, and Lammy to go find out why this is happening.

That where the story begins plus the fact that he is trying to become a real man because he want his sweetheart Sunny Funny a beautiful yellow flower to stop teasing him and take him seriously.

There 4 levels of difficulties to choose from. you will know what level you are playing by the looking at the color of Parappa's hat. Level 1 is the red hat, Level 2 is the blue hat, Level 3 is the purple hat and Level 4 is the yellow hat. You will be rewarded with an animation when you finish your game.

If you complete Level four you will then be able to switch hats while you and on the map a record shop will be available for you to listen to the songs that you have unlocked in the game.

Level are divided in Stages and before each stage you can practice different keys stroke combinations or just press start to start the stage. Also each stage has a different character that sing the songs like Chop Master Onion.

You can monitor your performance by looking at the meters which will tell if you are awful, bad, good or cool. An animation of the character singing will tell you also if you are doing better or worst as you go.

There is also a new game mode where you can play with a friend or against the cpu.

Parappa the Rapper 2 is lacking in originality and the songs will fail to keep your interest for long.

Also the keys to press are at the top of the screen written quite little so sometimes you have problems to see if it is a square or a circle.

Although Parappa the Rapper 2 has that graphics are nice and colorful the Gameplay is lacking in interest and originality.
