Once you actually boot the game up and experience it you quickly realize that it isn’t trapped between two generations or art styles. The PlayStation had a big 3D push and so it was so weird seeing something that appeared to be trapped between two styles being shoved into the spotlight–or so it seems. There were 3D objects but the characters looked like they were cardboard cutouts. I grew up with an NES, Sega Genesis, and a Super Nintendo so I was down with 2D graphics but I remember thinking that PaRappa the Rapper looked so weird when I first saw it. I still remember checking PaRappa the Rapper out on a demo disc shortly before it released in 1997.
