I agree with the other reviewers who said this game is too hard for kids. Heck it’s too hard for me! We cannot get past the biplane fight and if you can’t get past that, you can’t do squat. Really lame, Disney. Really lame.
I may put it up on ebay.
The gameplay is fun but is a bit easy.I can discribe this game in three words. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay to short. I played it for about an hour or two and completed 45%.
My 11 old daughter and I had a great time playing this game, she said it’s the best game she ever had! My most favorite part is to shoot down the planes, it’s easy when both 2 players shoot the down the planes at the same time. The graphics and the stories are awesome.
My daughter, age 7, loved the movie “Up” and we have always appreciated the genius of Pixar films, so thought buying this game would give many hours of enjoyment for the whole family.
WOW, were we wrong. What a terribly planned and engineered game. You have only one option when starting the game: Shoot down 4 enemy planes with Dug the Dog as the pilot. Sounds easy? Several adults ended up throwing the Wiimote/Nunchuks at the wall. It’s near impossible. For kids, it’s sad and frustrating. We couldn’t get past that level and probably won’t try, as it is NOT FUN.
What a waste of money and time. Very shocking for a Pixar type of product.
My son is 5 years old and loves airplanes. He has mastered the nunchuck and Wii control with other games like Heatseeker, Blazing Angels, etc. Even with his experience he had a hard time in the beginning navigating through the first level of the Up game. The first night he got frustrated and gave up. The second day, he gave it another shot and was able to get to the next level (I think with a little help from dad). He is now stuck in level 2 and can’t get Russel & Carl out of the canyon. It seems like it could be a cute and fun game, however, for children new to Wii or new to having to control two devices at one time, I would not recommend this game.
One suggestion: we rented the game for $8.99 from Blockbuster for one week. I would suggest doing this first before you go out and spend $40 on a new game that your child may not be able to play (and you may not be able to get your money back with the open package.
