This game is intended for either younger kids or casual gamers. For that audience I think it is a fun game. The graphic quality is 720p. It is not as good looking as most other PS3 games, but it is a level above the PS2 or Wii versions. I have played those versions as well by renting them. I think the Wii version is the most fun to play due to the controller. But the PS3 version is nearly as much fun to play while looking better and adding some new gameplay elements not included in other versions. The PS3 version is slightly more challenging to play than the other versions, but the average 10 year old can figure out all the puzzles.
There is a glitch in the first level where the voice audio is missing. After about five minutes you can hear them talk.

I have spent several hours on this game. The hugest defect is you cannot save the game when you want. I am stuck on level 1 ("training!"). After having collected about 20 amulets, a message says "now go find your brother Emile". No way I could find that rat. And all the times I want to try, I have to start everything from the beginning. And I am forced to watch again all the instructions videos, as you cannot skip those! Unbelievable. And it's true: all the walkthroughs on the internet are completely useless, because the PS3 game is completely different from the other platforms. It's a pity, because they put a lot of work on this game which potentially would be very nice.

-- Edit:
I have now dedicated more time to the game. I'm still convinced there are several issues, but I must say that all in all it is not bad. It is rather fun to play and probably it is worth trying. Although they say 3+, forget having it played by kids 4-5 years old. It is just too hard.

We bought it thinking it'd be cute for the kids.

Well, it is cute. At first. Then you realize that some rule-loving capo must've designed it. It's a maddening game. You get hardly any direction at all, which would be cool if you didn't get stuck. And remain stuck because you have no idea what the next step is.

The kids like the mini games but the actual adventure? Such as looking for all the charms in a scene? Drove them crazy. They ended up abandoning the game.

I peeked for cheats online, but it seems like most users get sick of this game. Such an unfriendly one. : (

Got it for my 5-1/2 year old son. He likes it a lot, but has trouble with some of the controls and seems to be stuck perpetually on level 1. Also, does not have 1080p High Def output but still looks great on the screen.

We purchased Ratatouille for my Son and he loves it. It's really cute. He is 5 years old and finds some parts are difficult for him complete so I will help him out.

I gave up on this game after being stuck in the tutorial for over an hour because I couldn't balance across the clothesline.

Maybe my adult hands are simply unable to work the controls nimbly enough, but I found the character hard to move around, and the terrible camera angles make it even more difficult. That and the fact that you can't save the game at your convenience and have to start the same sequence over again when you "die" make this game too annoying for me to waste any more time with it - which is too bad, because the graphics are cute.
