Ratatouille demo on Xbox LIVE Marketplace

THQ's rat-based Pixar movie tie-in available to sample before release.

THQ has released a playable demo of Ratatouille, the game based on Pixar's impressive looking animated movie about a rat named Remy.

The film sees Remy, a rat who loves French cuisine and has a desire to become a chief, help a young chef to keep his job at a French restaurant. It's up to the two of them to avoid the insane head chef, train the rest of Remy's family and create the best tasting Ratatouille in France.

The playable demo will give players a chance to explore some of the game's action-packed world and try out some mini-games.

The game's out in the UK on September 28, with the movie set to hit cinemas on October 12.
