Use special skills over 3-D platforms. View larger. |  Battle dangerous creatures. View larger. |  Explore across 6 environments. View larger. |  Unique multiplayer games. View larger. | 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 PC/Mac 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 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. Key Game Features: - Explore Exciting Environments - Explore jungles, caves, rock formations and Paradise Falls while avoiding dangerous plants and animals along the trail.

| Customer Reviews: decent but hard game - requires xbox controller August 7, 2009 Stephan Anagnostaras (San Diego, CA) this is a decent but hard game - no way to play it with the keyboard since you can't make some of the angled jumps. Anyway, you will need an xbox controller to play it on a pC
Too difficult, maybe easier on a video game platform than Vista. July 12, 2009 R. Klein 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Too difficult for my 5 and almost 10 year old. My 12 year old and I also tried to help. Perhaps it's better on a video game platform. Terrible on Vista. My oldest is 15 and we haven't seen good software since he was a little kid.
