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.

Absolutely wonderful game!June 9, 2009 Amyie(Oglethorpe CO, GA, USA) 10 out of 13 found this review helpful
I purchased this game for my 10 year old son (as well as my 11 year old daughter and myself, though so far my son is the only one to have played it); the game arrived several hours ago and my son not only had no problem beating the first level, he has already beaten the entire game, including the bonus level. By beating the bonus level he also gained the "Ultimate Cheat."
For anyone considering the purchase of this game I would strongly recommend it - my son had such a good time with it that I can't wait for my daughter to play it so I can have a crack at it!
UP - Great Game for KidsJuly 2, 2009 Patti A. Melton(Covington, WA USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My 7 yr old saved his allowance and decided on this game on a recommendation from the salesman at the video store. He loved it! He has already beat it, but said he would play it all over again. I wish some of these games would last a bit longer, especially for the money they cost! But all-in-all a good game for kids.
Fun, but challengingOctober 22, 2009 S. Lind(CA, USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I asked my seven year old son and this was his review- "It's fun, but hard. I like it because Russell can swim and Carl can climb. I think most seven year olds would like it, but not younger. My favorite game I would recommend for six and seven year olds is Lego Star Wars."

I bought it for two grandchildren - 10 and 9 years old- they like it but said it was very difficult at first...
it's an ok gameOctober 28, 2009 Kryn Palmquist(Olean, NY) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I just wanted to clear some things up. I rented this game to see how "challenging" the first level was. i beat it in minutes and was really confused on what was so hard about it--especially for adults. I could see younger kids having problems, but adults who are savvy with video games shouldn't have a problem. There are arrows in the grass and little bird footsteps to tell you which way to go. When you are near an object, it will tell you what button to push. I can't say I was crazy about the controls however. The graphics weren't bad, and the game was at least 3 D. The second level was annoying... you have to hit the hearing aid to keep the dogs away, but if you don't, and forget, then you have to fight off 3 dogs...weird. I like to teach kids not to be abusive to animals...but whatever. Just wanted everyone to know this game is not as challenging as the some of the other reviewers have been claiming. I would definitely recommend renting before buying to see if this is a game you would like.
