THQ today announced that the Up video game, based on the highly anticipated Disney/Pixar film, has shipped to retail outlets throughout North America for Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 at $39.99; Nintendo DS and PSP at $29.99; PlayStation 2, Games for Windows and Mac at $19.99. 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.
