Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game: Ratatouille

Customer Review: Good games for preschoolers
Summary: 4 Stars

My daughter just turned 4, and I got her Leapster 2 for Christmas. I decided on Ratatouille first, since we have the movie and games seemed suited to her abilities.

Graphics are not great, but work fine. Voices are identical to those in the movie. There are 5 games on the cartridge: sorting items into categories (by color, by food group), matching items (memory game; match letters, numbers, colors, shapes), cooking (choosing ingredients, adding them to pot, mixing, setting timer, putting on icing; includes 'create-your-own-recipe'), catching things (they plop from the ceiling and Remy needs to be moved around to catch the appropriate ones), and surfing through sewers (also a catching game: catch specified items while avoiding wrong ones).

My daughter has been playing with this game for less than a week now and plays with it not for long, but 5-10 times every single day. She loves the cooking game. She figured it all out immediately and keeps going back to it all the time. (BTW, there is barely any difference between levels 1 and 3 in the cooking game.) Matching she also found easy (she doesn't know letters, but was matching them without problem whatsoever, repeating sounds as Remy was saying them), in fact maybe too easy, because she much prefers cooking. Sorting is easy to do, but concepts get harder (e.g., sort items into fruits vs. meat and beans category) so she is not into it. She likes the surfing game but doesn't do much with it. And finally, the catching game I myself find too hard on level 1 (items seem to drop too fast, I have no time to move Remy) so we haven't tried it yet.

Problems: Occasionally (rarely) our Leapster just freezes, and we have to restart the Leapster. (This could be the console problem, not the game problem.) Levels of games don't start intuitively. E.g., memory matching started off with letters and numbers even at level 1, whereas colors and shapes should clearly come first. Yesterday we discovered that the recipe book in cooking, which has 4 marked pages (spice cake, eclairs, tomato soup, and create-your-own) had only the create-your-own recipe remaining, and we couldn't get the other ones back even by restarting the Leapster.

Summary: despite minor problems, I think there is a nice combo of games for different levels of different cognitive and motor capacities on this cartridge, so it should last for a long time. It seems to be a good beginner's cartridge, as it doesn't come on strong with reading and math skills which younger children may not have.
