2 Stars Not for an inexperienced gamer…..
My husband and I recently bought a Wii. I haven’t honestly had a game system since my Colecovision back in the 1980’s, so this was all new to us! While I have loved some of the games — especially the Carnival game — this one is a little more challenging and it takes forever to master the different challenges. As far as we can tell, you have to master the challenges or else you go back to where you were in the story to do it over and over again. Not too fun.
The graphics are really great though and the story is cute. I’m sure this is a great game for some people, but it just wasn’t for us. We’ll stick to the Carnival game and the racing ones for him. We just picked up the Bully game, too, and that one seems a little challenging but not nearly as hard to navigate with the controls.
4 Stars Very Entertaining!
This is a lot of fun, yet very challenging. It takes a really long time to complete all the stages of this game. We have had it for several months and still have not finished all the stages. The mini games and challenges are the most fun, but you have to play through the stages to unlock most of these. Our family definitely got our money’s worth.
2 Stars Skip this game. It is not casual-gamer or kid-friendly.
I can only speak for the Wii version of this game, but both I and my son have spent weeks trying to get past the 1st level. We have MANY other Wii games and we’ve never encountered this kind of early-on difficulty, but the controls on this game are very loose during the Destiny River level, which is level 1 of the main game. I have yet to meet another Wii gamer who has gotten past this first level. I don’t know what the programmers were thinking when they made the Wii version of Ratatouille. Other game consoles don’t seem to have this problem with Ratatouille. Looking for a good, kid-friendly movie-based game? Try Meet the Robinsons. That was a really good one.
2 Stars Great for small kids only
Got this game for Xmas because I loved the movie, needed more games, and love food. And let’s face it, it’s on the cheaper side for a Wii game.
The game is super cute in terms of story, animation, etc. Mini scenes unfolding before your eyes, the rats talking to each other and stuff.
But the game play is appropriate for a first-time gamer, this game is to the Wii like the training wheels to a bike. If you can beat level one in Super Mario Bros, you are too skilled for this game.
Cute will only take me so far.
I finally got to the salad making stage (as a foodie, the most enticing part of the description from the package) and it was just matching shapes. Neither thought nor coordination was needed.
If you have a small child who wants to play Wii like his big brothers and sisters, this is a great game for them to play with. But if you’re reading this review, you’re much too old for it.
Also, the camera/ perspective changed so rapidly and dramatically that I got queasy (kinda car sick) after playing for an hour.
4 Stars Ratatouille for Wii
This game is fun and some parts are very easy and some parts are kind of hard. I think it will be a great challenge for my child to play it.
