Ratatouille Demo

Cartoons and movies always had a thing for talking animals, since they are frequently featured in a variety of animations, or even Hollywood blockbusters. Moreover, some of them also have some sort of special talent, which is ultimately used to achieve some great purpose, or save their friends from unpleasant situations.

Ratatouille is a game that follows the same pattern and presents the events seen in the widely successful movie, in which Remy, a common kitchen rat, must tackle a variety of challenges in order to accomplish his dream. In the game, you are able to control the mouse and explore a number of locations throughout the beautiful city of Paris.

The main plot follows the one seen in the movie, as Remy gets acquainted with the failed chef by the name of Linguini and helps him prepare some amazing delicacies in order gain fame and recognition. Along the way, the two friends must face off against those who are trying to undermine their progress, as well as find the right ingredients to be used in the ultimate recipe.

Because Remy is very small, the world around his seems much bigger when seen through his eyes, which in turn makes for some very interesting level design. Thus, a simple kitchen becomes a huge playground for the little rodent, as he makes his way toward the vital ingredients. Moreover, humans must be avoided at all costs, since they are downright invincible next to the crafty rat.

Despite that, the locations are the same from the movie, which means that there are not too many new things you can explore or find out about the universe, other than what you've already witnessed. The missions you undertake are not nearly as entertaining, since the dull gameplay mechanics do not allow for too much adrenaline or action.

In the end, Ratatouille can only be enjoyed if you are a huge fan of the movie, since the game itself features nothing out of the ordinary, other than linear levels and outdated mechanics. It does receive some points for the interesting level design, but even that ceases to impress after a few levels.
