She joins a contest, the winner of which will have the privilege to marry the prince.
But in the middle of the contest, an evil sorceress bursts in and kidnaps the prince.
Now Cornet and her friends must defeat the sorceress and rescue the prince.
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a Japanese-style role-playing game with humorous elements.
Cornet's party includes animated puppets and can also contain enemies who may be willing to join it after battles.
All the combatants level up automatically after having accumulated a sufficient amount of experience points.
Enemy encounters are random, and battles take place on a tactical screen, requiring the player to move characters in a turn-based fashion and attack enemies in range of the characters' weapons.
Characters also learn magic and can equip up to four different accessories instead of the traditional weapons and armor.
The world map consists of dots the player can travel to automatically, and only a small portion of it is accessible in the beginning.
Story progression is linear.
Musical performances are sometimes used as story-advancing cutscenes.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (1998) for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (1998) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1998.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (1998), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
