New details have been released on THQ‘s Up: The Video Game through a press release:
"The Up video game will take 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. Players will encounter exciting, new environments as they navigate through treacherous jungle terrains, battle dangerous creatures and trek the slippery slopes of the Amazonian Tepuis. In addition, the game also features multi-player game modes, including an epic level that will allow up to four players to compete in aerial combat."
The official site is also live now, where you can download a free demo. The full page is coming soon.

Yes!! Finally! This game sounds much more interactive and exciting than the previous installation in the Pixar video game series, “WALL•E”. The very fact that a mulit-player option is available to those who wish to play with a friend throughout the entire game is a definite plus, especially seeing as my sister and I enjoy playing cooperatively.
Thank you very much for posting this tantalizing update! I shall download the demo as soon as is humanely possible….
