Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Gamers assume the role of Harry, a fearless, rough-and-ready treasure seeker who battles evil using his athletic ability and a knapsack filled with adventure gear. Harry must race against a rival explorer to find hidden treasures, which in the wrong hands could spell doom for him and his friends. The vast landscape, ranging from forests to ancient ruins to subterranean mines, provides players with countless game options as they face the consequences of their decisions. Crossing treacherous jungle terrain and dark areas filled with puzzles, tricks and traps, players swing on vines, avoid crocodiles and dodge rolling logs as they unearth artifacts and use their cunning to defeat dangerous foes.

Ok, but has been done.,
By JD Hazlewood - Author of "That Which Alwa... (Hot Springs, AR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pitfall (Video Game)
This is just another Mario, Crash Bandicoot game. It's ok I guess but if you've played these other games, you'll see what I mean. You just go from level to level, aquiring items to alow you do do certain things and make certain moves. It's ten dollars less than most new games, that's good. I was hoping it would have more of the feeling of the old Pit Fall. I loved the old one, and it was simple. Don't get me wrong, I love the new technology, but I think they could have done better. You do get to unlock the origional games on the Xbox version. I haven't done it yet, but that might make it worth something. The character in this game is like a cartoon character, not a real person, it's more geared towards children.Now the real down side, there are too many glitches. Some stunts you are supposed to be able to perform don't always work. Sometimes you fall into places an it freezes up. The upside: I do like games where you can rotate the camera all the way around, and this one does it. You don't easily fall off things and die, even if you do fall, you can fall a great distance and not die. You can escape from the jaws of crocodiles. You life meter is pretty long giving you a lot of oportunity, and a reserve canteen makes it easier, both of these can be added to as you go. You don't really have to fight big bosses at the end of levels like in other such games. The graphics are good for the cartoon like game that it is. It's an ok game. Rent it first and see if you like it. Younger players may get a hoot out of it.

Pitfall Harry is the man,

This review is from: Pitfall (Video Game)
I got a chance to play through a demo of this game and really enjoyed it. I grew up playing the original Pitfall on the Atari 2600 and even the mediocre Sega Genesis version, but this new developer (Edge of Reality) really "gets" the game. Pitfall does not take itself too seriously, but it really is a seriously good action/platformer game. You'll have fun, and so will your kids. It's a title the whole family can sit down and play. Go ahead, take it for a swing. :-)

Refreshing fun with a retro character,
By S. Walther - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Pitfall (Video Game)
While the gameplay may not be the most ground breaking, the fun factor behind this game is great. The cartoonish atmosphere and the characters will make kids and adults alike smile throughout the game. Whether it's Harry's wit, the damsels in distress, the talking animals or the "oooga booga" natives, the humor and the story work well together, as well as keep challenging and fun gameplay through 50 levels.If you are looking for a technology reveloution, look elsewhere. If you are looking to have mindless entertaining fun, this is your game. You will find yourself smiling throughout.
