However, this alone won't get me to buy a PS3. You know what would, Sony? An Um Jammer Lammy sequel -- yes, the guitar-based sister game to PaRappa -- using a Rock Band or a Guitar Hero guitar peripheral. Hell, bring back Katy Kat and Maa-san and let's get the whole band back together. The music for Um Jammer actually blew PaRappa away; "Got to Move" has been on about 77% of all the mix CDs I've ever made. You know, perhaps I'm not being clear: I would murder every single one of you in your sleep if it meant getting a new Um Jammer Lammy game. And I'd buy a PS3, too.

I dunno, the music was nice, but the characters had no depth, you know?
Josh replied to ZADL:
Yes I agree, the characters were very two-dimensional.
Justin said:
Yeah, I love the Parappa and Lammy games. The Parappa sequel was a bit lacking, so hopefully this new one will be good.
You say you like Lammy. Did you ever unlock all those Parappa remix levels? It was like having 2 games in one!
Leave it to Lammy!!

'Fire Fire' was the best song in the game hands down, followed by 'Fright Flight'. I could play those two levels over and over again.
I found 'Got to Move' to be really disappointing im afraid. It lacked that triumphant feel that the last song in PaRappa the Rapper had.

There is nothing that you could post that would improve my day more than this did. Truly glorious.

I'm sorry- but the only game you should need to make you buy a PS3 is 'Uncharted: Among Thieves'. There is no other game as perfect:)

What I really want is for NanaOn-Sha's other rhythm game "Vib-Ribbon" to finally come out in America as a PSN title. They even released it in Europe, so an English version exists as it is!
El Calor replied to Adam Arnold:
Vib Ribbon was nowhere near as much fun as PaRappa or Um Jammer, I stay in Scotland, in the UK, and got it about 2 months after it came out for £5 (about $8.50) played it once and gave it away the next day. If your looking for something similar to PaRappa and Um Jammer I recommend Gitaroo Man for the PS2, its as quirky as they are and almost as much fun.

I've always been a huge fan of the Parappa series. Check out my tattoo I got a couple of years ago:

I would not only buy a PS3, but beat every single one of you to death for that.
Although I still contend that Vital Idol was the best song in UJL.
Deacon Blues replied to Deacon Blues:
That should be "but beat every single one of you to death with it for that," Way to go, me.

I'm pretty sure I read about this a few months ago in my step-dads Playstation magazine. But I'm still no less excited.
Pretty sure this was one of the first games my mom ever bought for the playstation, she loved it a hell of a lot more then I did...I think we both just really liked saying "PaRappa the Rapper"..

Woah, I'm sleeping with one eye open tonight.
Polecat said:
I am ALL for this! We need another UJL game for sure!! Personally I thought "Got to Move" was one of the best songs in the game... but "Baby, Baby" was my personal favorite and the one I played to death. My only problem with the game were the 2 lackluster songs in the late game; the one with the chainsaw (forget the name) and "Vital Idol". Both of these tunes I hated as songs and as levels....
But it did end with one of the best songs in the game, so I can forgive a few flat notes.

Wal-Mart is selling 120GB PS3 with Batman: Arkham Asylum, InFamous, and The Dark Knight Blu-Ray for only $299!
What's your fucking excuse?
JimmyZappa said:
I lovingly concur. I have both on Playstation (Parappa is quite rare and my copy could fetch a good price.
I've been meaning to get Parappa 2 on PS2. I also have all the music soundtracks on iTunes. Parappa is just one of those games, as short as it is, you have to love.

HELL TO THE YES. I remember playing this game way way back on the PS1. My sister introduced me to Parappa, and I have loved him ever since.
Cupcakes! said:
You're all quoting Parappa! The proper Chop Chop Master Onion rap (in my heart) will always be:
Kick, Punch, You all Remember
Chop Chop back again, yes, forever
You have many challenges comin' at ya,
First is a fire,
Don't retire now...
