On this journey players will encounter exciting, new environments as they navigate through treacherous jungle terrains, battle dangerous creatures and trek the slippery slopes of the Amazonian Tepuis. In addition, the game also features several unique multiplayer game options. Unique Character Moves, Games and Game Levels Designed to provide a gaming experience to match the spirit of the movie, Up the Video Game for PlayStation 2 provides a wealth of enticing features including: character-specific moves, unique two-player multiplayer games like Rafting, Balloon collection and Tug-of-war, and 27 levels of gameplay across six environments. Playable Characters and Storyline Carl Carl Fredricksen is not your average hero. He's a retired balloon salesman, who is forced to leave the house he and his wife built together. But instead of moving into an old folks home, Carl takes action. He ties thousands of balloons to the roof, lifts the house into the air and sets off for South America, fulfilling the promise he made to his wife years before. However, Carl's plan is challenged by the discovery of a stowaway, the optimistic, overly eager Russell. Carl's journey tests more than his patience when the duo must survive the extreme weather, treacherous terrain, and strange inhabitants of a lost world - as well as each other. Russell Russell is an enthusiastic and persistent 8-year-old Junior Wilderness Explorer. Armed with a backpack laden with gear, he is ready for the wilderness. The problem is that he's never actually left the city. All his knowledge of the outdoors comes from books, and his sole camping experience was in his own living room. He's just one "Assisting the Elderly" badge shy of achieving his lifetime goal: Senior Wilderness Explorer. When he targets Carl Fredricksen as the elder he will assist, Russell ends up as an unwitting stowaway on Carl's porch when the house takes flight and finds himself on the true outdoor adventure he's been dreaming about. Kevin Named "Kevin" by Russell, this extremely rare, 13-foot-tall flightless bird is hidden from the world in its remote Paradise Falls habitat. Kevin is exceptionally fast and nimble despite its size. In fact, the massive bird often gets into some very curious and seemingly impossible positions. Very few know that this scientifically valuable creature exists, but Carl and Russell stumble upon the bird, which Russell names Kevin after he discovers they share a sweet tooth. Kevin and Russell bond instantly, and despite the bird's propensity to swallow Carl's walker, Kevin joins the jungle's most unlikely pack, along with Carl, Russell and Dug. Dug Dug is a lovable golden mutt living in the wilds of Paradise Falls as part of the dog pack searching for the rare, flightless bird. Like the rest of his pack, Dug is outfitted with a remarkable high-tech collar that translates his thoughts into speech. But Dug is mocked as the nerd of the pack. Sent into the jungle on a "special" mission, Dug accidentally succeeds when he discovers the bird following Carl and Russell. As they're pursued through the jungle by his own pack, the sweet, but simple-minded Dug must decide to which pack he actually belongs. Game Modes Up the Video Game for PlayStation 2 features loads of game modes that ensure that players' Amazonian adventure keeps going and going. Just a few of these include: House jumping levels, Rafting levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 2 player kids game, August 15, 2009

This review is from: Up (Video Game)

We bought this game because of the drop out feature like the Lego SW, Batman & Indiana Jones games. Our two boys love playing it (ages 5 and 6)and it's pretty simple for them to understand. Russell and Carl go through various adventures in order to reach the house with balloons that has accidentally unanchored in Paradise Falls. In addition to the actual play, they can open different mini games by completing the chapters and obtaining a certain number of points. Overall, a great game for kids and not disappointed in buying it.

As an "older" adult PS2 player I thought this game might be fun, it started out ok but got more and more boring and repetitive, great for little kids though I think

This review is from: Up (Video Game)

The Ps2 version of this game has 27 levels vs 11 levels found on the Ps3 (or xbox360) version. The gameplay is FUN even for a kids game. The gameplay is different on the ps2 vs the ps3. I like the ps2 version better as everything seems closer when playing, these games even though the cover looks the same on the ps2 and on the ps3, the gameplay is different than that of the ps3 version. I suggest getting both for this reason.
