Time to spend your days again taking on the persona of a rapping dog and show up your teachers in your lyrical skills - or symbol matching - or something. Let's see how one of video games' most outlandish concepts manages to continue its trade into the millennium.
To be perfectly honest - I am not even sure where to start here. Not because this is a bad game, nor because it's a great one. The whole aura about what makes PaRappa the Rappa 2 tick is just extraordinary. The narrative of the game sets on PaRappa having won years' worth of noodles. This talking dog dedicates his life to their consumption.
He is heavily criticized by those close to him - but somehow, the world is then turning into noodles. And only rapping will save it. Seriously - I have no idea how this even came to fruition. Outside of the tripped-out storyline - there is a game to analyze. Let's start by describing the visuals - they are like paper cutouts of Adventure Time characters with animations that could only be explained by an acid-induced coma. The voices are obnoxious, and the environments look flaky.
This eternal weirdness really doesn't matter if we focus on the core mechanics of rhythm - and it's there things start to make more sense. The game's premise is to match your gamepads symbols against learned lyrics in perfect timing - no different than its predecessor.
It's an excellent skill-based concept that is refined enough to stay entertaining throughout the game - it can whisk you away from the freakish happenings outside of gameplay. The problem is, though - there is nothing starkly different from the first Parappa the Rapper. It's another offering to test your cognitive skills through the medium of a music-based game. You could enjoy it if you dig these consistent challenges of speed, response, and memory - but if you're looking for some deeper meaning, I wouldn't quite know what to say.
You would either adore this unique narrative and universe - or not be able to tolerate it in the slightest. As aforementioned - there's nothing new about PaRappa the Rapper 2. If you've never played it or enjoyed the first one - you'll find a lot to enjoy - but it doesn't justify its place as an innovative rhythm game.
It seems like developers were out of ideas on improving the game and went in the direction of making it as bizarre as possible. It all seems a bit distant.
From a personal perspective, I wouldn't really recommend it for that reason. If you were looking to test your rhythm skills, you might want to refer to more focused games like the Guitar Hero franchise. But honestly - if you are looking for a wild ride that represents possibly one of the strangest narratives in recent memory - you might as well try it.
