For kids or not?

Good game. Not a great game. More than once while playing this game I was reminded of the fact that though this is pretty fun, it would be more fun if Laura Croft was doing it. I know, I know. Even though Laura's games and movies have been terrible, she is still like n old girlfriend you wouldn't mind seeing a picture of from time to time. Pitfall, you'll never really care to bring out the photo of again. The whole experience, though enjoyable is kind of forgettable. Mario does it better, Spyro does it worse. Mario is cute and fun as is his supporting cast, and his games are incredibly creative and fun. Spyro is cute and his supporting cast is not. Spyro's games are not too fun though. Pitfall falls between these two. Pitfall tries to be cute and funny - it isn't. Pitfall tries to be fun and exciting - sometimes it is. Because of all the jumping and balancing little kids will think this is kind of fun to watch but impossible to play.

Bottom line: Is it fun. It's ok; A decent waist of time, which is exactly what it feels like through and through. Will I keep it? There are better platformers. Is it for kids? It is so simplistic it should be, but there is too much exact jumping for the little ones.

a classic reborn

The game is excellent for the ones that like to set down every day/other day and play to the next save point. It gives challenges but it is long enough and challenging enough to not set down at one time and play the game.

Loved It!!!

I am not a video game person, myself, but I picked out this game for my brother for his birthday and he let me play it once and I was addicted. It's not gory or shoot-em-up and the setting is in the wilderness. I never got bored with this. My sister doesn't like video games either, and she sat with me while I played it every day just to watch.

Need some help!

Another great game for boys. It's nothing too fancy or difficult. Quick and easy game for younger children.

Lots of fun!

My kiddos LOVE this game. They have Pitfall 1 and they're really enjoying #2. I highly suggest this game. My kids are 15 & 9, girl and boy. I've even had lots of fun playing it. lol

Purchased this Playstation 2 game brand new for very reasonable amount through Amazon.com. This game is and will be primarily used by my "nearly" 6-year-old grandson. Many of the objectives require him to ask for help or require him to attempt them several times. It's probably more suitable for someone just a little older but that depends on the child. I'm substantially older (grandfather) and have gaming experience but this game is a challenge for me. There have been many instances when this 6-year-old showed or told me what to do and he can't even read! It's a real fun game.

Son's favorite videogame

I could'nt be more pleased with this purchase. I remember enjoying the old ATARI Pitfall game when I was a kid, but this version by ACTIVISION is far superior. It has some of the same type moves, such as swinging on vines, jumping over pits, and avoiding being eaten by crocs and scorpions. There are some new moves, too, like special kicks, and using a sling shot. Harry can earn special tools, too.

The graphics are 100x better than the old Pitfall. There are beautiful jungle scenes, temple ruins, and snowy mountains.

A few notes: 1) this is strictly a one player game. 2) I strongly suggest purchasing the memory card for playstation 2. Otherwise, you cannot save your progress.
