Based on the Disney - Pixar animated feature of the same name, Up The Video Game takes players on the Xbox 360 on an exotic adventure with Carl Fredricksen and his young sidekick, Wilderness Explorer Russell, as they set off on a wild journey through the undiscovered jungles of South America. Players will be able to experience all four main characters from the movie -- Carl, Russell, Dug the lovable dog or Kevin the prehistoric bird -- and will enjoy the action both in a single player campaign and with friends via the game's 2-4 player multiplayer support.

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 play modes and features. Unique Character Moves, Features and Game Levels Designed to provide a gaming experience to match the spirit of the movie, Up the Video Game for Xbox 360 provides a wealth of enticing features including: character-specific moves, Xbox LIVE achievements and gamer points, HDTV Resolution (720p, 1080i, 1080p), a tutorial system and 11 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 features loads of game modes that ensure that players' Amazonian adventure keeps going and going. Just a few of these include: the Anaconda and Crocodile Boss fights, as well as the 2-4 player Dog Fight mode.

My son and daughter just had to have this game after seeing the movie. The game uses the same voices as the movie and you get to play the russell, carl, the dog and the bird kevin. My children where laughing and having a great time playing the game while completing the challenges, collecting of artifacts. My son really liked the flying part, the achievements for completed sections brought smiles to the family. A game any child should enjoy, and if you have not seen the movie its great as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Childrens Game, June 9, 2009

I bought this game for my 7 year old as he really enjoyed the movie. I must say this is the first childrens game that i bought for the xbox that was really made for children and was not too hard and not too easy.

You get to experience all of the main characters from the movie: Russell (boy), Carl (older man), Dug (dog) Kevin (bird). I found both single player and multiplayer a challenge and exciting for both me and my son.

We encountered jungle terrain, fought different creatures (aligators, bats, bugs, dogs, etc) and walked the slopes on our way to the falls. There is also a level that allows up to four players to fight it out in aerial combat which is very fun and challenging and had our entire family laughing it up. Also upon gathering enough points through the levels allows a player to unlock 11 mini quests.

What may appear as a very short game for those that just play through miss out on the mini quests which are very fun to complete. I highly recommend this game to anyone with younger children or just a gamer enthusiast that want to have some good clean gaming fun.

I ordered this for my 5 year old sister, who's always been curious of what XBOX games are about. She can handle getting around, but doesnt quite get the idea of the game or the goals of the levels. Nice simple maps and simple "enemies" make it perfect though for anyone as long as they're old enough to understand how to use the controller.
