PaRappa The Rapper debuted ten years ago on the PlayStation and went on to achieve a strong cult following. Sony has today announced the July release of PaRappa The Rapper for PSP.

PaRappa is returning and is bringing all the characters, levels and songs from the original, plus a host of additional content to the PSP. New features include four-player head-to-head over local wireless, and the ability to download eight additional playable remixes using the PSP Infrastructure Mode.

Bringing PaRappa The Rapper to PSP allows true PlayStation fans to re-connect with this timeless classic,” said John Koller, Senior Marketing Manager, Sony Computer Entertainment America. “This also introduces the beloved PaRappa and his cast of colourful friends to a new generation of fans and potential hip-hop stars on the move.

With its unique flattened 3D visuals and catchy tunes, players will rap their way through numerous levels as PaRappa attempts to win the heart of love interest, Sunny Funny. Initially players will have to hit the corresponding controller button to help PaRappa mimic the actions and lyrics of the Masters, but as the game gets harder will be faced with freestyle sections.

Look out for a hands-on preview of PaRappa the Rapper very soon.
