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.

Great 1st PS3 game for my 5 yr old!July 26, 2009 H. Jones 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the perfect first game for our 5 year old daughter. I wish PS would have more games for this age!!! I give it 5 stars, as it is easy for her to play, and very entertaining to watch! We also loved the movie :)
Absolutely wonderful game!June 9, 2009 Amyie(Oglethorpe CO, GA, USA) 10 out of 14 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!
Easy platinum....... :DJanuary 7, 2010 missauru 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Right to business,
Pros:
-Easy platinum! Which is great for all you trophy, erm, addicts out there.
-This game took seriously about 6 hours total for me to get my shiny platinum. Awesome. Honestly, that was the reason I rented the game... I read it was a quickie. Still, I also loved the movie and would much rather play that for an easy plat over hannah montana ANY day (lol).
-I found myself having a lot of fun playing it. It was a surprisingly entertaining game.
-You can go back to any level you played if you didn't collect anything, and it gives you a list of what you got at the end of each level!
Cons:
-The only thing that was really annoying was the two levels which you HAVE to use inverted controls. UGH. Couldn't stand that. I died over a dozen times, and almost threw my controller into my tv because I never play inverted! I couldn't believe they expected younger kids to be able to do it, and I couldn't! Of course my boyfriend takes the controller from me and does the darn thing on ONE try because he always plays inverted... -.-
Honestly, that's it. The 5 star rating is because of the easy plat, and how it actually kept me entertained! If you loved the movie, I believe you'll like the game. :3
My Kids love it!August 21, 2009 Joseph G. Landgraf(St. Louis, MO USA) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This title is meant for a younger audience and is a blast. Lots of fun, the kids won't stop playing it. If you're looking for gorgeous fun for the kids it's worth every penny.
Great game for young and oldSeptember 4, 2009 Happy Husby!(West Palm Beach, FL) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I bought this game for the PS3 because their aren't many good old fun kid's game like Mario from back in the day for the PS3. This one is as close as they come to that kind of Mario fun. I also bought this because it is these are the only types of games my wife likes to play. I like all genres but I mainly stick to FPS and some fighting i.e. Street fighter 4. This game is really fun for kids I'm sure and great for adults that like to connect with their inner children, like myself and my wife. Definitely worth it.
