	Parappa2
		Parappa and its follow-up Um Jammer Lammy featured a distinct visual style engineered by taking the flat drawings of animator Rodney Greenblatt and animating them in a brightly colored, extremely vibrant 3D space giving the characters the appearance of flat papers.
		The new tracks in Parappa 2 have a similar feel to them and are performed with silly irreverence by the same cast of excellent actors who appeared in the first game.
		Parappa’s songs are quite creative and silly yet hard to get out of your head even after a few listens and make the game quite enjoyable throughout.

	PaRappa The Rapper 2 - GameCritics.com
		PaRappa 2 is as clean as they come, and the ESRBs caution of Mild Language in Gitaroo Man was over one use of the word damn.
		The original PaRappa The Rapper on the PSone is consistently named as one of the Music genres top games, and was actually the title that broke the market wide open for others to follow here in the USA.
		PaRappa has to be able to repeat the same phrase by hitting the Dual Shocks buttons in time to the beat.

	Parappa the Rapper 2 for PS2 video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Telling a vague and laughable story, the adventure that Parappa undertakes is secondary to the music and gameplay, and after watching it for a few minutes, you''ll probably drown it out in favor of the music itself.
		Parappa the Rapper 2 utilizes none of the extra power of the Playstation 2, as it uses the same exact graphic scheme present in the first game.
		Parappa 2 has eight levels, each of which has several small sections, and can easily be beaten in two hours, depending on how quickly you can pickup the rhythm of the game.

	The Essential 50 Part 44: Parappa the Rapper from 1UP.com
		Parappa the Rapper had another major improvement over Simon besides the presentation, and that was the ability to freestyle rap.
		In Japan, Parappa was inducted as one of the system's mascots, and eventually got his own TV cartoon that ran for a few episodes.
		Parappa, as discussed, has a mild insecurity that series creator Masaya Matsuura took and ran with in Um Jammer Lammy -- the "Um" in that game's title is actually a reference to Lammy's nervous, stammering ways.

	PaRappa The Rapper : SoundtrackCentral.com
		PaRappa The Rapper came along in 1996 to the surprise of many gamers.
		But PaRappa The Rapper manages to carve out its own place in videogame music history and justifiably deserves to be called a masterpiece, despite its every resistance to the traditional definition of the word.
		PaRappa The Rapper is arguably the first video game in history to include rap music, if you don't count The Lost Vikings (which didn't have any lyrics in it).

	GAF - Review - PaRappa the Rapper 2 (PlayStation 2)
		During the conclusion to the original Parappa the Rapper, NanaOn-Sha promised a sequel to continue the adventures of the lovable Hip-Hop puppy.
		Parappa the Rapper 2 is uninspired, a quality that anyone who has played a previous installment in this series would’ve never anticipated to find.
		Parappa the Rapper has always separated itself by having a goofy story and eccentric characters, but the creators have taken it a bit too far with this installment.

	PaRappa the Rapper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Considered revolutionary in its day, PaRappa the Rapper is superficially similar to the classic 1980s game Simon, in which the player is required to repeat a sequence of sounds and light.
		To impress Sunny Funny, PaRappa learns to fight at a kung-fu dojo, takes a driver's education course to get his license, learns the art of flea-market training to raise money for a new car, bakes a seafood cake and, finally, performs a hip hop song on stage at a party.
		PaRappa takes a job at the flea market, and is taught the ways of the stand by its owner, Prince Fleaswallow, who helps PaRappa sell useless junk as the rap begins.

	PaRappa the Rapper for PlayStation Review - PlayStation PaRappa the Rapper Review
		PaRappa the Rapper is an interactive cartoon about a shy puppy named (oddly enough) PaRappa, who has a crush on the beautiful Sunny but doesn't know if he has the courage or power to impress her.
		The graphics and audio, however, just might: All of PaRappa's characters are comically animated paper dolls moving against colorful 3D backdrops, a simplistic and charming visual design that never would have worked but for the game's theme and some brilliant camera motion.
		PaRappa is undeniably cute and hip - the ideal PlayStation mascot in that he's so universally acceptable and nonthreatening.

	Parappa the Rapper 2 preview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Despite being two-dimensional animations (Parappa means paper-thin in Japanese), all characters are motion-captured and calculated in real-time 3D to take full advantage of the PS2s technical capabilities and, as youd expect, are beautifully animated.
		In the first Parappa game, you watched the story unfold, then plunged straight into each routine, risking the possibility of failure in front of the teacher.
		In Parappa 2 you now have the option to practice your moves first as the story unfolds, with a less demanding friend called Boxy Boy.

	Production I.G [WORK LIST[Details]]
		For the TV series Parappa the Rapper, Rodney Alan Greenblat drew brand new characters that will be appearing one after another in the show.
		Parappa is a group of six children - three boys and three girls - who are good friends from Parappa Town.

	PaRappa the Rapper 2 review for the PS2
		I guess Sony figured it was time to pull a P. Diddy and yank a smash from the past, inject it with a little new flavor and roll around in the back of a limo sipping Crystal while endorsing the checks off the back of a ho's booty.
		The gameplay in PaRappa 2 is identical to the gameplay in the original.
		PaRappa 2 is very simple for anyone decent at rhythm games and will likely be beaten in about an hour.

		Each of its eight stages introduces Parappa to a new teacher, who raps a tune for the hip dog to imitate in "follow the bouncing ball" fashion.
		That flaw is Parappa 2's strong emphasis on freestyle rapping.

		Parappa’s combination of outstanding music, simple gameplay, and a likable hero make it a unique experience that’s as fun as it is refreshing.
		Parappa practices martial arts, learns how to peddle junk, and gets a case of the runs before the game ends.
		Regardless, Parappa the Rapper will always be remembered as one of the most fun and innovative games to hit Sony’s PlayStation, and for that reason it deserves a purchase.

	Animefringe: Reviews - Parappa the Rapper: The Animated Series
		After a few cel animated shots with the series logo, the paper Parappa is joined by the rest of the cast who bop in unison in front of a bopping paper skyline.
		The cast of characters includes the daydreaming dog PaRappa, his love interest, Sunny Funny, the sassy Katty Kat, the narcoleptic P.J. Berri, a younger, arrogant Joe Chin (or a relative), and a new character that is some kind of female animal with small, pointy ears.
		In a hilarious daydream, PaRappa catches a fish that's bigger than the lake, impressing the girls and leaving Joe dejected, but his bubble is burst when he catches yet another piece of junk.

	UGO.com Games - Parappa the Rapper 2 Preview
		When Parappa the Rapper hit the PlayStation, American audiences became smitten with a two-dimensional puppy and his hip-hop exploits in a stylized cartoon world.
		He wasn’t quite the phenomenon he is in Japan (we’ve yet to see the Parappa Happy Meal stateside), but Parappa and his friends did a lot to advance the cause of music in games, spawning a follow-up in Um Jammer Lammy and a swell in the music-oriented genre that has continued into the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era.
		Parappa 2’s storyline is a bit more involved than that of the original, which saw Parappa traveling around Rodneytown engaging in such tasks as getting his driver’s license and baking a cake in the name of winning the heart of his true love, Sunny Funny.

		Parappa The Rapper has became a cult figure for gamers who go for something that bit different.
		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.
		Parappa 2 isn't a bad game, but it doesn't have as much of the same off-beat charm that the original--and to a lesser extent, Um Jammer Lammy--had.

	Parappa the Rapper 2
		Critically, Parappa was a every bit of a success as it was on the charts.
		It should be noted that Parappa 2 has a practice-drill session right before every stage, to warm you up, a good addition.
		Despite a lack of challenge and innovation, it must be said that Parappa 2 is still a fun game.

		Here's the premise of the game: you play the role of Parappa, a cute little dog who just happens to be totally in love with Sunny Funny.
		As Parappa, you try to spend time with your lovely sunflower/girlfriend, but rivals and bullies keep messing up your plans.
		Basically, what happens is this: the teacher will rap a line and you have to copy it by hitting the right buttons on the keypad in sync to the rhythm.

	PaRappa The Rapper (psx: 1997): Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Parappa is a simple-minded and passionate type of guy and he's crazy about Sunny Funny.
		Maybe it's because the cinemas that push the game forward are so amiable and bizarrely infectious with their dubiously likeable characters and ridiculous story that you simply can't escape the essence of the game.
		The only real problem with Parappa is concerning the depth as this title really does not allow much variation and Sony have only included six fairly short levels.

	PS2 Game Reviews: Parappa the Rapper 2
		Parappa the Rapper is arguably one of the most known Playstation games, right up there with Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy.
		It lacks challenge (or is it that we've all become accustomed to this?), whereas the first didn't.
		It's up to Parappa to rap his way through the crisis and defeat the noodle gang.

	Review: PaRappa the Rapper 2 for PS2 on Gamepro.com.
		With its infectious tunes and charming characters, PaRappa the Rapper for the PlayStation is one of the few original and endearing games.
		PaRappa unwittingly stumbles upon the secret plot of noodle domination, as there is no other food choice on the planet but?noodles!
		PaRappa 2 doesn?t break any new ground or even one-up its previous outing, but there should be a spot in your library and your heart for the always delightful hip-hop hound and his cast of offbeat friends.

		This is the tale of a young city-dwelling pup, PaRappa, who spends his days frolicking with a bear, a cat, and a sunflower.
		PaRappa's tunes do not borrow from the bad reputation earned by some of today's rap music.
		Animated sequences between raps are a hoot, detailing the antics of PaRappa and friends, as well as how rapping is always the cure.

	The Armchair Empire - Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews: PaRappa the Rapper 2
		The story is very light throughout the game and it does a good job of bringing a little humor and a Saturday morning cartoon-style to the character interaction, as PaRappa tries to figure out whose behind the outbreak of noodles so he can put a stop to it.
		While PaRappa himself raps to everything, the tunes he does this to have a good mix of jazz and funk to them as well to allow for a far more groove-oriented style to the tracks, instead of being pummeled with your typical 4/4 time, robotic beats.
		In so far as the visuals are concerned, the game takes on the same sort of aesthetic as that found in the original PaRappa the Rapper and UmJammer Lammy with it’s two dimensional, paper cutout-esque character design.
