It's not Parappa... It's even better!

User Rating: 9 | Um Jammer Lammy PS
I never got around to the original Parappa the Rapper because I have never owned a Playstation, I was looking around the Playstation Store in early 2013 and I came across this game, if Parappa wasn't on the store then I guessed this was the next best thing and little did I know that it would be even better. The game starts with a short introduction to the band, MilkCan (it's a silly name but that's to be expected for this game) and we learn that the title character is a bit of a wimp but when she has a guitar in hand, she can take out anyone with only the power of music, I won't spoil anything else for you so let's talk about the gameplay, it's like Parappa except you have a guitar this time and a few problems from Parappa are left behind in this game such as a major bug in which you actually do the button commands correctly and the game will count it as a fail, the only way to avoid this is to pull out a freestyle move and even that won't work sometimes. The game has multiplayer and it's actually great fun, it's a contest to see who can pull out the best guitar riffs and really rock on, the only downfall to this mode is that the glitch from earlier is here too and that can get frustrating to you or your friend sometimes. The game has plenty of replay value to keep you rocking, you can unlock another story mode when you beat Lammy's story and there is also a secret unlockable special mode that you can get by beating the game 100%. The music is also great, it can range from very slow and calm to incredibly fast and upbeat. Overall, Um Jammer Lammy is a must own Playstation Classic for Parappa fans, it has one flaw that might turn some people off but it's not a huge problem when you get used to it, Um Jammer Lammy can do what the original can and so much more!
