Amazon.co.uk Review
This time around PaRappa must stop the evil Noodle Syndicate that's turning all the food in the world into noodles. The wacky story unfolds in Rodney Greenblat's unique visual style: the playful graphics are 2-D with heavy cel-shading, but aren't much of an advancement from the original; a 3-D PaRappa would have been nice. Similarly, the gameplay is virtually identical to the original's. Although there's a two-player mode that adds replay value, the eight levels in single-player mode can easily be beaten in less than four hours. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is the game's music: although cute, the tunes aren't nearly as memorable as those in the original. Still, players new to the series will find the game charming, though fans of the original are bound to be a bit disappointed. --Raymond M Padilla
Product Description
As before, the graphics were created by New York artist Rodney Greenblat. There are guest appearances by Lammy and her band MilkCan, plus the ultimate rapping sensei, Chop Chop Master Onion. There's a multi-player mode for two rapping disciples to square off, plus a practise mode for you to learn how to get your beat on.

DOWNERS:(trust me, this game isn't reall down, I'm just picking hairs here!)

Overall Results:
Graphics = Nice, but you're always staring at symbols:7/10
Sound = Good tunes, enjoyable lyrics and ace rapping!:9/10
Lifespan = Short, easy, but saved by two-player action: 7/10
Overall Score and thoughts:
Better than most rhythm-action games thanks to its jam-along two-player mode. The only downfalls are the shortness and the rather vague jokes. IF YOU LIKE THIS THEN U'LL LOVE SPACE CHANNEL 5(GIVE IT A SHOT!)
SO OVERALL I GIVE IT 8/10!
Parappa 2 see's the return of the rapping paper thin dog and all its friends in another cutesy story about self belief and love. The game is just as much about its cut scenes as it is the gameplay.
As a rhythm action game you can get stuck in, using the shoulder buttons and the symbol buttons to rap your way through 8 excellent tracks, but beware you'll be expected to ad lib on top of the song to score well!
The music itself isnt as catchy as the original, nor Um Jammer Lammy, but the lyrics and story line are so much more involving and full of life, you'll be lost in the world of Parappa.
Also added is a two player mode, which is sadly a bit limited.
If your a fan, it dont disapoint even though there's no evolution, but if your a new to the series, perhaps you'd best find the easier original to break yourself in!
The story is insane. This time Parappas town is been taken over by the noodle gang, who want to get rid of the Beard Burger hangout and turn the whole town's food into noodles, Parappa is the only one who can stop this evil by using his lyrical skills!
What i enjoy abut Parappa the Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy is that the games are fun and the story is just as important and funny. It's like watching a cartoon on Cartoon Network. The flat graphics by Rodney Greenblat do the job great and the rapping is better than what some MTV rappers say these days (listen to Chop Chop Master Onion!). The songs though aren't as catchy as on the first one, but its still good.
If you're after something new and fun to play get this, but if you like super serious RPGs and shooting games i wouldn't reccomend it.
