Ratatouille (Playstation 2)

Players relive the film's most thrilling moments as they assume the role of Remy, a young rat who dreams of becoming a great French chef, despite the obvious problem of being a rat. From the underground sewers to the bustling streets of Paris, players dash, glide and slide through 6 action-packed worlds filled with dangerous enemies, heists and perilous missions. Players can go head-to-head with their friends in multiplayer mini-games or navigate their way through a sensational rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down. [THQ]

Critic Reviews

90 AceGamez
Ratatouille is a delicious slice of platforming goodness that has exceeded all expectations and sets a new benchmark for game conversions of children's films.
84 Worth Playing
Ratatouille does a lot of things right.
74 GameZone
Rent it for quick fun; buy it for the lasting replay value.
70 Games Radar (in-house)
Ratatouille’s defied our expectations by dishing out a solid adventure with loads of extras and minigames. If the missions felt a little less repetitive, then we’d really have film-tie in greatness here. Either way, this is one game adaptation that’s easy to swallow.
65 IGN
While the levels themselves vary greatly in design, the texture work is unanimously blurry, which is the biggest disappointment.
60 GameSpot
Ratatouille is a sufficient, if unfulfilling, platformer.
60 Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
Perfectly acceptable but largely uninspiring portion or generic platforming. [Dec 2007, p.99]
55 Digital Entertainment News
You've seen this before and you will see it again. Just wait until the next big kids movie comes out.
55 Game Informer
Pretty uninspiring stuff, but I guess if you’re a parent looking for a (relatively) harmless game to pick up for a small child it might do the trick. I’d like to think your kids deserve better.
