Up - Nintendo Wii

This was bought for my 7 yr old daughter and 6 yr old son who both LOVE the movie. The game supports 2 players which was my main requirement. It has the great feature of just being able to "jump" in to the game and if playing solo the main player can switch between other characters. There are lots of co-op challenges with each of the players utilizing some skill or tool they have to solve a problem.The flying was hard but you have to teach your children how to SLOW DOWN to shoot down the dirigible's engines, it's one of the buttons on the nunchuck. My kids took to the flying parts so much they love to play some of the mini-games that let them do nothing but fly. Don't give up.They made it all the way through the game but still get lots of pleasure out of it.Character voices are great and there are lots of good lines.Fun use of the Wii controllers with sawing and other actions.Great game for UP fans.__________________________________________________________________Alternate review after reading all of the negative reviews:If you hate a good challenge look elsewhere.If you DONT want to learn how to control a vehicle in a 360x360 degrees environment and vastly improve your spatial relationship skills this game is not for you.It's not a simple game, it challenges you to learn how to fly and you MAY have to read the instructions on the flight controls. Look behind you, slow down. 2 hints that will help you immensely.And while the characters may look happy and cartoony the gameplay gets challenging in parts. You may have to listen to the clues that the players give you, "Hmmm, maybe I can use my cane....", and such.My 6 and 7 year old kids made it through the game, yours can too, just stick with it, slow down and look behind you occasionally.Read the prompts that come up, they'll tell you what you need to know.It's a fun game and was very rewarding for my children to play through, they still go back and play it.Character voicing was great with lots of funny parts, visually it was good and the violence was minimized.The mini-games are a lot of fun and overall we have no complaints.Challenge yourself and your children to overcome the obstacles that this game presents and it may positively affect the rest of their lives. Learning to overcome challenges simply for the reward of accomplishment , "flying" a bi-plane, and reading instructions and following clues presented by the game are a few that come to mind.

Me and my son got some good laughs from the gameplay...in a good way.

This is obviously a game for kids, but in my case I bought it to play it with my girlfriend. She doesn't like games very much, but since I really love them I figured that if She Loved the movie, maybe I will convince her about playing by making her play a game like this, wich is related to something she loves and easy to play... that`s what I Thought!!!Now here is the important thing. She barely plays games but its really enjoying this game (we are at 60% of the game). She is facinated with the Wii Controls for this game, the easy gameplay and also with the characters dialogues and graphics, its just like the movie!!! She is over 20years old but its enjoying this like a kid!I'm playing it just to spend time with her in this video game world, but I could say that I'm having a great time with this game. I`m more like Zelda, Mario, Prince of Persia, Arkham Asylum and games like that but this is ok...The important stuff:** You could play it alone by yourself but that means that you will have to cotrol all characters (the old man and the kid principal) wich means that in certain points of the games you will need to swicth between one and another in order to continue and thats kind of boring when happens constanly.. (at list for me)** The Co-op mode means that someone will use the old man and the other the Kid. At some points you will need to swith for using the Dog and it seem that in some point with the big Bird (Kevin), but I`m not sure about Kevin. That`s fun.** It`s based on the movie but as EVERY GAME BASED ON MOVIES there are some "extra stuff" since its and adaptation for a game. For Example you will need to fight a big Snake, and a giant Cocodrile in the game, never seen before in the movie... there are several encounters with the gang of dogs and a lot of team-work required.** Difficuly: some people said that its too dificult. What I can said is that if you are not used to play games, this will surprise you (mostly in a good way hahaha). There are many parts where you have to jump from one clift to another and that could be tricky. The Boy have the abbility of cutting ropes with his key in order to move on. Somehow there is a problem about it because even thoug the game will show you when and where to cut, if you do not place the character just in the right specific place, the boy won`t do it right and you can get stuck for minutes that will feel like a very long time... a kid will get desperate, like my girlfriend, but with pattience you could find the right spot just by trying and trying, there is no other way, the game has that issue... The first scene of the game shows Doug on an airplane shooting other dogs and torrents.. it may be a kind of tricky for kids, but its really easy, maybe this is just one of the 4 parts from the game that you could say that are "very" hard, don`t worry... it will be very boring without some challenge, right?**Finally, I could say: characters are adorable and funny, interesting levels, not an easy-borign game, based on the movie, definitely for kids very young (so if you like teen or mature games, this is not your choice...), good extra features and if a kid get stucked (and probably they will at least few times), just help them wtih that part and they will enjoy the rest of the game. If you like Disney games, or adventure/funny games and liked the movie, this is a great choice!My 4 stars review are because of the things already mentioned, but remember, its for young kids, your enemies are dogs and things you can step on. No one dies ever, balloons take care of everything, and weapons are your own backpack, walking stick, a whistle and things like that...Definitely recommended considering things already mentioned, and for the Price, you won`t regreat it,Enjoy it and have fun!!!

This is meant for small children and parents to play together. Be warned you will need a lot of patience to play this with a small child. You don't die or anything you just shimmer in right back where you were over and over again if you fall off or something.

Received dirty used game. Hole in case. Please send new as I was charged for new game. Gross!

It was definitely for kids (younger kids) and I just couldn't force myself to play through the entire game.

A good story and addictive game play it's a classic Wii game in my opinion. I do think some levels were unnecessarily difficult for younger players at times.
