"Gamers have always been wary about the adaptations of movies into the video game format. While this hasn't always been the case – such as the Sega Genesis iteration of The Lion King – movie based video games have faltered over the last decade or so with only a handful of quality titles to speak of. With that said – along with the hesitance of games worldwide – it's a pleasure to see THQ handle Pixar's Up with care. Up is accessible to all ages, a trait that can't be said for far too many games this generation."
Den of Geek writes: "There's much talk these days about the computer game industry dwarfing the movie industry. The latest Call Of Duty, we're told, generates the kind of revenue that most movie producers can only dream of. Yet while there has been a dramatic shift in monetary power from the big screen to the monitor screen, when it comes to computer games based on movies, it's still very much the cinematic dog that's wagging the computerized tale."
Square-Go writes: "Up! The movie, cannot be praised highly enough: the charm of the characters juxtapositioned against the bizarre circumstances they encounter is nothing short of genius. The journey is incredible, landscapes are impressive and the concept of a floating house does genuinely lift your soul."
"Classic Game Room HD reviews UP for Nintendo Wii. This video game is a kids' game based on the Disney Pixar film UP. Players control characters from the film in a variety of missions that span the world. Play as a team and solve puzzles, fly airplanes and battle giant insects. Fans of the animated film may enjoy this game which is a fairly traditional movie-based game by today's standards."-Classic Game Room
