Granted, this does not reflect the current production standards of ASOBO Studio, but this game, while fun, reflect poor development of the memory optimization for the PC port of the PS2/Xbox game. Asobo's forte is games for consoles, so the PC port has left out some things such as rendering throttle and multiplayer support - things usually managed by the console itself. The game shows low framerate because Asobo hasn't developed the PC memory manager completely - another console managed function. It plays for a few minutes at good framerate, then it slows down or speeds up tremendously.In this clip Bill puts in ice block skates, and challenges Fred to a race. At the race start, Bill dons a "Quack the Ripper" mask to scatter the passersby - though the teeth or the gator mask would have done the same.Another fault is that the directional arrow is set "as the crow flies" - or as in the case of this series, "as Raoul flies." It should have pointed the way as is done with the scooter races by directional walls or flag tape for the city and country races respectively.I haven't gotten a copy of Ratatouille, but I hope they have worked on these three to make it fully enjoyable on the PC.Another beef is that the game enjoyment is cut down somewhat in the conversion process - in the console version 10 characters can be played. In this game, only Bill, Aldo, or Bill/Raoul can be played, and only on the specific missions they are set for.
