GameSpot: Up Review

There’s something novel and charming about a game that has a crotchety old man as the protagonist, and Up does a fine job of capturing the delightful characters from the film. Still, considerable as it is, this charm can only carry Up so far; thus, the tedium and simplicity of the gameplay make enjoying Up very difficult. This is unabashedly a game for the younger set, and parents may appreciate a game that won’t frustrate their children while encouraging cooperation to boot. But even young kids will likely get tired of this long walk through the jungles of South America.
