The graphics for this game are WAY too dark. My family couldn't see well unless we had our face right up to the screen. Not for those who value their eyesight!
What we did play (before accruing a giant headache) was fun and interesting; but no one in the family can see the game well enough to play it.
For this reason, I don't recommend this game. Save your money!

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.

Solid platformer

We have a problem. We expect too much out of games. We expect every new platformer to somehow revolutionize the genre. This is why Pitfall has received little acclaim; it tries nothing new. And you know what? That's okay. Sometimes a simple romp in the jungle can bring hours of fun, which is exactly what you'll get if you just like straight platform action without having to deal with level objectives and collect-a-thons and "clever" takes which ultimately go bad. Pitfall stays true to its roots, packs a lot of charm, and is fun to the very end. Unfortunately, the end is sooner than I would like. This shortness, and a few bugs in the game, cause me to knock a star out, but I still highly recommend Pitfall as a weekend rental to adventure/platform fans.

My kids and I love it!

I love swinging on vines and running through the jungle. Seeing all the cool animals is great! The game is sooo fun, but I wish I knew how to play the old pitfall on the game.

Pitfall Harry Rocks!!!!

This is a Action/Adventure game with a Platforming twist. You play the game as Pitfall Harry, an explorer whose plane crashed in a Peruvian jungle. You must use your knowledge, skill, and puzzle-solving abilities to search for vast treasures, learn advanced moves, and free your adventurer buddies. This game rocks!

AWESOME!!

I love this game because it is fun and very challening. You really have to think for some of the parts, because they are tricky. I love the jungle scenes, they look so cool. The graphics are very nice too. Alot of the levels are hard, though. It's really cool how there is a talking jaguar! The enemies are mostly the natives. You see them alot but if you sweep kick them once or twice, they are usually dead. This game isn't violent either. This is the best game ever to walk this Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT GAME!!!
