If you’re really hot to experience PaRappa’s adventures all over again or for the first time, give this one a quick session.

Traxxpad is a surprisingly powerful music app that does not disappoint.
While it is mainly hip-hop and electronic oriented, you can use it to write in just about any style you want.
It’s not going to replace any professional music software you may use, but unless you are a professional composer it shouldn’t matter.
#3. Rock Band Unplugged

This portable version of Rock Band brings all of the plastic-instrument goodness of the home console versions to your PSP.
You’ll switch between guitar, drums, bass, and vocals, making sure each part is played perfectly.
This gameplay mechanic completely changes how you play the game, and it makes the experience far more engaging and enjoyable.
#2. Gitaroo Man Lives!
- Release Data: Koei/Inis/Koei, 2006
- Genre: Action » Rhythm » Music
Combining a rhythm battle and fighting game, Gitaroo Man Lives! is another supremely unique title that will carve out a place in your heart if you give it a chance.
A really fun game, Gitaroo Man Lives! combines a uniquely weird manga-style story with an intuitive fusion of game genres.
#1. Patapon
- Release Data: SCE Japan Studio/SCEA, 2008
- Genre: Action » Rhythm » Music
Mastering the rhythm-based aspect and knowing when to tell the Patapons what to do is just a part of the charm of this game as the overall aesthetic and presentation is charming and disarming.
That definitely helps take some of the edge off of the frustrating difficulty found in the end game.
