Ratatouille (Xbox 360, 2007)

I have played both the Xbox and Xbox 360 versions with my kids. They love them both I think because of the movie. The Xbox 360 version is a bit better then the standard Xbox version. With the 360 version you have more freedom to explore the game world however the controls are sluggish but work great for the younger players. One of the great things that the 360 version is that is allows for 2 or more players to enjoy the game. In the older version it was only a one player game. The problem with that is you can only have a 2 player game in the mini games, or so I have found so far.

The kids have spent hours playing the game and still haven’t gotten board with it. They love to make their own adventures with the open ended game world and by beating up on the other characters that happen to be going by. Almost all items in the game can be used throughout the game. (i.e. the exploding peppers can be used to get rid of the chicks in the first part of the game or even the squirrel that likes to taunt you from under the truck also in the first part of the game)

Of the games out there this is a good kid friendly game that I have no problems allowing them to play.
