With the Ratatouille video game hitting retail later this month along with the theatrical debut of the Disney•Pixar animated movie it’s based on, THQ has today released a playable PC demo in anticipation of the impending launch. Available for download at www.playthq.com, the Ratatouille demo lets players take on the role of star character Remy and play through two missions set in the Market world. Ratatouille is scheduled to ship on June 26 for the Xbox 360, PS2, PSP, Wii, GameCube, GBA, DS, PC and Mac, with a PS3 version to follow for the holidays. The movie debuts in theaters on June 29.

In what has to be the most expansive cross-platform game project ever, THQ has announced the development of Ratatouille, a new game following the story and characters of the upcoming Disney.Pixar movie of the same name set to hit theaters in Summer 2007 (when the game will also be released globally). What’s astounding is the fact that the game is being developed for 11 different platforms, including the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PSP, GameCube, GBA, DS, PC, Mac and mobile devices. Wow, that’s a ton of versions for one game, hopefully THQ’s Heavy Iron Studios (the team heading the project) can handle the load and hopefully it’s a good game with so much money and effort clearly going into it.
