In addition, you'll have to watch the temperature. You'll have to keep your eye on three burners and dump ingredients into them when they're ready. The time limits allotted for preparing ingredients are long enough to make sure you finish, but not so much so that there's no pressure. The game utilizes the DS touch screen very well for this, showing you where to stroke the stylus and in what way. You'll first prepare the ingredients by chopping them up. Really, what good would a game about a cooking rat be if there was no cooking? Cooking is broken down into three stages: preparation, cooking, and plating. The main goals in the stealth missions are the same as they are in their regular counterparts.įinally, there's the cooking mode. Remy can't be seen by the humans or they'll catch him, so he must dart from cover to cover in order not to raise suspicion. The emphasis is placed on sneaking about. These are essentially the same as their platforming counterparts (in fact you will some re-visit areas and play them in different ways), with one big difference. Similar to the platforming levels are the stealth levels. It's fairly generic, but the environments are well designed, and Remy can pull of a good number of maneuvers beyond running and jumping. In this mode, you control Remy as he wanders around an environment trying to get to a specific location or collect a certain number of items (ingredients, recipes, etc.). The game features three main gameplay types. It's forgivable though, as spending 2/3 of the game sitting under Linguini's hat wouldn't be very fun, would it? The first act is entirely faithful to the original story, though the game does stray a little bit once Remy and Linguini team up. Unlike the console version of the game, Ratatouille DS does a fairly decent job of sticking to the story. The two form an unlikely alliance and set out to become the greatest chef in Paris.
RATATOUILLE MOVIE SUMMARY SERIES
Through yet another series of mishaps, Remy falls in with the establishment's garbage boy, Linguini, an aspiring chef with absolutely no skill in the kitchen. He quickly finds himself in Gusteau's, a once prominent restaurant that is now considered to be a middle of the road eatery. Through a series of mishaps, Remy is separated from his clan and ends up in Paris, the city of cities when it comes to gourmet food. His family, however, would rather eat garbage. If you somehow managed to miss the film (go see it right now), Ratatouille follows the adventure of Remy, a rat who lives in France, loves good food, and is quite a good little chef. It doesn't approach the near-perfection of the source material, but it manages to re-create it well enough to entertain the film's younger fans. What's also hard to believe is that the Nintendo DS game based on the film is good. The magical combination of fantastic plot, smart writing, and jaw-dropping visuals come together so well, it's almost hard to believe. Ratatouille is arguably the best film released so far in 2007.
