 A Bit of a Rat October 21, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Bought this game when purchased PS3 for my daughter and have had a go myself. My daughter seems to enjoy it and would have to say having played it myself it is quite hard in places especially for a seven year old.
I haven't seen the movie but the game is good fraphically but then most kids movies are good graphically when done as a game.
Also has minigames that you can unlock which are quite good and overall I think this will keep kids amused for a while.
Really good for the kids October 13, 2007

I really enjoyed this game but it is clearly aimed at kids. Its lots of fun with enough levels and challenges to keep you playing for hours. Worth buying for christmas at a reasonable price and especially if your a fan of the film. Give it a go.
A Rat it Can Be November 27, 2008
This is a wonderful, well put together game, with excellent graphics, although even more me, as an adult, it is rather difficult and frustrating in parts. You can not save, it will tell you when to play and this will mean a lot of playing, otherwise if you quit, then you have to start again.
I am still on Stage 1; collecting the charms, of which are 25 and I can only get 24. I have tried and tried and tried to find the 25th one, so if there is anyone who knows where to find it, I would appreciate some help !! Eeek !! I have collected all relevant ones, even in top of barn etc...
Good little game but very frustrating. Eeek eek eek eek !!!

I bought this Game for my girlfriend who enjoyed the film very much. The initial outlook was good, but we soon found a few things that made us a little annoyed.
The first thing that struck us was there was no option to save the game when you wanted, and you were forced to play for a large amount of time before it saves. As each level is composed of a number of sub-missions, having to do initially all of them in one sitting was very frustrating. Later on in the game it gets better but it would have been far more user friendly, if it saved more regularly right from the outset. This is made worse with the inventive but rather difficult use of the Sixaxis controller in certain areas of the game. This all amounted to us concluding that the developers lost sight of their target audience.
Secondly, at various points in the game you will get stuck. One example of this was in the City Of Lights area when chasing Gusteau you have to balance on a rope which it is very hard to jump on to. If you fail (and fall to your death) you have to start again at ground level and work your way up only to fall of again. Several times you simply pass through the rope as if it wasn't there (despite pressing the O button (PS3) to balance). It's handy to have a patient player nearby for some of the trickier bits in the game, but I think a lot of people will be put off by the sudden change from simple accesible gameplay to extremely frustrating and difficult gameplay and vice versa.
Thirdly, very often you get advice from Gusteau about how to proceed. Unfortunately, you assume what you are being told is relevant to the next puzzle you need to solve. This is not necessarily true. When you attempt the mission to improve the soup you get bombarded with suggestions about using the egg timer. This comes in useful in one part of the level, but towards the end you actually need to find a way to the top shelf and that has nothing to do with the egg timer. This doesn't stop Gusteau from suggesting you use it.
Graphics, character voices (done by the actors from the film) and sound are good throughout. Also some of the mini games are quite good fun. Remy is also quite a lovable character (despite being a rat).
I would wait until it comes down in price, or rent it, before buying at full price. It has initial appeal but I don't think it will have any longevity for most people (including younger children).
Sound problems with the rats voices. January 5, 2008
Our 9 year old son must be enjoying this game as he would be on it constantly if we allowed him to be. My main reason for writing this review is to let others know that initially we could not hear the rats speaking and this was down to having the PS3 connected up to a surround sound amp. with an optical lead. When playing this game I have to change the audio settings within the PS3 to send the sound via the phono leads and change it back to output the sound via the optical lead for all other games. I have heard that some other users have had the same issue.
