Abstract

The Up video game takes players 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.

ESRB rating

Animated Blood, Mild Cartoon Violence 


Full description

Pixar Animation Studios' film about an elderly aeronaut and his chunky stowaway comes to gamers in Up, a 3D platformer that sends gamers on an adventure through the jungles and mesas of South America. Players take control of the crusty widower Carl Fredericksen, the ambitious "Wilderness Explorer" Russell, a talking dog named Dug, and the large prehistoric bird Kevin, as they explore caves, strange rock formations, swift rivers, and dense jungles. Each of the characters comes equipped with special abilities, but gamers must use their own problem solving skills to overcome environmental obstacles and fend off attacks from dangerous plants and animals. The entire game can be played cooperatively, so two players can team up to take on tough boss battles against crocodiles, anacondas, and a pack of wild dogs, and four players can join forces in aerial dogfights against the minions of villainous explorer Charles Muntz. Those searching for more content can seek out rare bugs, earn merit badges, and collect lost items from Carl's house to unlock cheats and bonus movies.

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.

Playable Characters and Storyline

Carl from 'UP' The Video Game 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 from 'UP' The Video Game 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 from 'UP' The Video Game 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 from 'UP' The Video Game 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.
