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. Players will be
able to experience all four main characters from the movie — Carl, Russell, Dug
the lovable dog or Kevin the prehistoric bird — while playing as a
single-player or with a friend cooperatively throughout the entire game.
Aided by Russell’s wilderness knowledge, the four characters must work together
to navigate treacherous jungle terrain, combat exotic animals and avoid being
captured by a villain and his loyal army of talking dogs. Players
will also encounter collection adventures to earn merit badges for Russell that
will unlock bonus content.
