{{GameInfobox |image= Mojib-Ribbon Coverart.png |developer = NanaOn-Sha |publisher = Sony Computer Entertainment |features = Single-player, Online Multi-player |designer = Masaya Matsuura |jp_rel = {{Release|2003|November|20|JP|PlayStation 2}} |genre = Music |platforms = PlayStation 2 }} {{nihongo|'''''Mojib-Ribbon'''''|モジブリボン|Mojiburibon}} is a [[music video game]] created by [[Masaya Matsuura]] as a spinoff<ref>''[http://www.mobygames.com/game/mojib-ribbon Mojib Ribbon]''. [[MobyGames]]. Retrieved 28 November 2008.</ref> of his earlier music game, ''[[Vib-Ribbon]]'' (1999, [[PlayStation|PS1]]). A direct sequel called ''[[Vib-Ripple]]'' was released in 2004. The releases are comparable to the releases of the earlier ''[[PaRappa the Rapper|PaRappa]]'' series (also a Matsuura series) where the original was followed by a pseudo-sequel and then a direct sequel a few years later. Whereas in ''Vib-Ribbon'' the gameplay centered on the player's interaction with the melody of the song being played, in ''Mojib-Ribbon'' the gameplay centers on the player's interaction with the lyrics. As such, the music employed in the game is heavily lyrics-oriented rap music. The game's art-style is centered on traditional [[Ink and wash painting|sumi-e]] and Japanese [[kana]] [[Japanese calligraphy|calligraphy]].<ref>Gifford, Kevin. ''[http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3114920&p=2 Mojib Ribbon (PS2)]''. [[1UP.com]]. Retrieved 28 November 2008.</ref> This has led to claims that the game is incomprehensible to non-Japanese audiences, however the simplicity of gameplay have allowed numerous [[import gamers]] (typically also fans of [[Masaya Matsuura]]'s oeuvre) to enjoy the game as well,<ref>''[http://www.ntsc-uk.com/review.php?platform=ps2&game=MojibRibbon Mojib Ribbon - review]''. NTSC-UK. Retrieved 28 November 2008.</ref> and guides exist online regarding menu navigation instructions for non-Japanese speakers.<ref>Green, Mark. ''[http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/917919/28098 This is a FAQ for Mojib Ribbon, ver. 0.3]''. 31 January 2001.</ref> == Gameplay == In ''Mojib-Ribbon'', the player plays the part of {{nihongo|Mojibri|モジブリ|Mojiburi}} (a name similar to that of Vibri from ''Vib-Ribbon''), a character drawn in the [[Ink and wash painting|sumi-e]] style who wishes to become a famous [[rapping|rapper]] (similar to ''PaRappa the Rapper'') and to find the truest rap of them all.<ref>''[http://ps2.ign.com/objects/570/570639.html Mojib Ribbon]''. [[IGN]]. Retrieved 28 November 2008.</ref> In each level, Mojibri walks around a circle of clouds as rap lyrics written in [[kana]] pass underneath. The player must press up on the joystick to get Mojibri to dip his [[ink brush|fude]] in the [[inkstone|suzuri]] and then down to get Mojibri to write the kana as he sings it. The songs are heavily rhythm-based raps, and the player must time the application of the fude to the [[washi]] during lyrics and to the suzuri during breaks. Later in the game Mojibri is joined by a female friend named {{nihongo|Mojiko|モジコ}} and a huge robot called {{nihongo|Osorezan 1999|オソレザン一九九九|Osorezan ichikyūkyūkyū}}. These characters have individual calligraphy styles. == See also == *''[[Vib-Ribbon]]'' - the prequel *''[[Vib-Ripple]]'' - the sequel *''[[PaRappa the Rapper]]'' - Matsuura's first rapping game *''[[Ōkami]]'' - a 2006 [[Capcom]] game done in the [[Ink and wash painting|sumi-e]] style ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *{{moby game|id=/mojib-ribbon}} [[Category:Japan-exclusive video games]]
