Okay, let me tell you right now. I'm not a Parappa fan. I was pleasantly surprised by
the story and music of the original, but nothing about the sequel has that same "je ne
sais quoi."
Umjammer is the ugliest bitch I've ever seen. I'd rather paint my ass to look like an
Andy Warhol silkscreen head than spend one more minute looking at that hideous
creature. Her head looks like a cow's udder.
The story in Umjammer is pathetic. Ooh, Jammy can't make it to the concert. Ooh!
And what's this crap about a guitar in her mind? Give me a break! There's something
in her mind, but it ain't a guitar.
The game's visual style is overdone. Imagine Parappa on LCD/LSD/PCP/one of those
drugs… as if Parappa weren't on crack to begin with.
The icons on the screen are too small. Casual players will find the game far too difficult.
The game has no ending other than the fact that you make it to the concert, but that's
the last level, and you play a song as usual. Nothing happens after that. What a rip.
Die-hard music fans may like it, especially for the two-player co-op and two-player
competitive modes, but I'm going to pass. I think it's official: Jammy needs to go on
Jenny Jones for a make-over. Yuck.
