Up is a game based on the famous cartoon series of the same name. The story is about a widow named Carl Fredricksen and his little friend Russell; they flew to South America by a house suspended by thousands of balloons. In the game version, the plot is a bit loose; the time extends to more than 20 levels. The game is an adventure of Carl, Rusell, and Dug, walking through the forests of Venezuela. In addition to the three characters, the characters that appear in the cartoon are all present and usable. Each character has different characteristics as well as abilities; players can switch among characters to take advantage of those unique abilities. However, the common point is that the characters all have a single vitality indicator bar if that analog bar drops to 0, game over. The ultimate goal of this expedition is trying to reach the end of Paradise Falls, performing missions along the way, overcome obstacles on the road and avoid getting hurt. There are four bosses in this version, and you need to overcome and three battles against some of Muntz’s top dogs. One more thing in this version is that the player has control over whether the house drifts or not.
