Genre: Rhythm
I would like to say I have an eclectic taste in gaming. Though I’ve written about a rhythm game before (you remember, don’t you!?), it’s been quite some time since I’ve picked one up. I’ve played through Gitaroo Man, but I never picked up PaRappa the Rapper, what I would call the first modern rhythm game. I remember hearing people dismiss it as Simon spruced up to be a videogame, and although I had a friend who I saw play it and liked it, I just hadn’t given it a play through myself… until now.
