The sounds and music are quite limited. Most of the sounds come from jumping, landing, climbing, and killing enemies. Then there are some other sounds such as when you push a mine car -- they sound off for about one second and then just suddenly stop although the mine car hasn't. There are some ambient sounds on a few of the levels but none on others. There is some music at the title screen and in between levels sort of. There isn't even any music or sounds for that matter during the end credits!
The music that is there isn't really all that great. Although this is a pretty standard side-scroller style game, you'll probably want to check out the docs if for nothing more than to see what all the items are about and so you don't miss how to do something with the controls.
Aside from that it's just storytelling and instructional material with some pictures. Since this game is a remake and almost an exact port of the SNES version from not sure about Genesis, DOS, or other versions, though , that would kill most of the originality. Unfortunately, I really didn't think there were any cool features aside from the health bar and using some cheat codes to level select and roam freely and see parts of the level you may have missed.
The 'health bar'? Unfortunately, it's sometimes hard to tell just how much health you have left with this method. Hmm, what to make of this game? I love Pitfall and side-scrollers in general. I hate how frustrating, annoying, and difficult this game can be. Although my review may have sounded more negative than positive, this really isn't all that bad of a game; it's just VERY challenging and can be frustrating and annoying at times.
Its nice graphics and beautiful animation are wonderful eye candy and actually add to the challenge too. I would not recommend Pitfall for the type of person who wants and expects to beat it the first time around or someone who doesn't like to play for long periods of time unless you don't mind using cheat codes which is why I give this game a score of Another Super Nintendo title resurrected by Majesco for the Game Boy Advance launch this summer is one of the biggest names of video games past: Pitfall.
The Mayan Adventure is a run-and-jump platformer, not too different from Pitfall Harry's humble roots on the Atari in fact, that ancient classic was included in the bit version as a hidden bonus. New for the GBA is a tic-tac-toe-style mini-game. Long live the classics! The year seems to be the year of the return of yesterday's heroes. So far this year we've witnessed the return of Donkey Kong and his family, Pac-Man in his official second title and now from seemingly out of nowhere comes Pitfall Harry!
It is time for you to assume the role of Harry's son, Harry Jr. Let me say that this is not your father's Pitfall adventure, but nostalgia heads out there like me will find the original adventure buried somewhere in the game. So grab your whip and prepare for some vine-swinging action! Just about anyone who played video games back in the dim, dark past remembers the original Pitfall game.
Well, that game is back as a secret level in this remake that doesn't really add much except better graphics and backgrounds. This game is exactly like the other Pitfall titles and brings little improvement in the sound and graphics. You still travel through ancient Mayan ruins, whipping past pools of lava and fighting bats, rats, and cheetahs.
None of the levels have been changed, so if you've played this before, here it is again. Your arsenal of weapons includes rocks, smart bombs, and your trusty whip. You can use your whip to swing from ledges, hang from vines, and slap snakes into submission. Controlling this battery of weapons is sometimes confusing. The Start button pauses the game, but it also cycles through your weapons. Jumping onto ledges is also tricky.
Pitfall's scenery hasn't changed in this version. Harry's movements are still poetry in motion, though, and the layered backgrounds are beautiful. The sound has minor improvements, but nothing noticeable. The jungle sounds are still clear, and all other sound effects are well done.
Everyone else has been through this jungle before. Pitfall Harry's son appears with a buffed-out bit version of the classic, and it's better than ever! Pitfall Harry is lost somewhere in the Mayan ruins, so Harry Jr. You must help young Harry find fame, fortune, and father, all in the same day. Ruined temples and lush forests aside, you'll also have to travel through deserted mines, across thunderous waterfalls, and into a nocturnal jungle.
The Mayans didn't inhabit the rainforests alone, either- bats, rats, and jungle cats keep you on your toes. Just to make sure you don't get bored, there are also hidden areas, traps, and treasures. And you'll even come across the original Activision Pitfall for the ! What's a fortune hunter to do? Or to do it with? He also finds bombs, boomerangs, and bags of rocks to use against enemies. Pitfall contains some of the best character animations ever seen in a SNES game.
The intricate climbing and swinging sequences are complimented by smooth running and I jumping illustrations. The enemies even have their own distinct personalities, like paper-thin revolving archers or bloodsucking bats. The music is your standard game drone, but the sound effects are marvelously lifelike. From junior's exclamations when he gets near a cliff to the rich animal sound effects, this game is definitely an adventure for the ears.
And an adventure for the thumbs as well, because Harry Jr. The smooth controls are responsive, but not always accurate. You have to play the game a little before you get the hang of handling Harry Jr. Now that you've seen the commitment that Activision has put into restoring this classic game, you almost want to see what it'll do with River Raid, its other smash for the But until then, you'll have plenty of fun with this title, which is challenging and entertaining at the same time.
Of all the games made for the Atari , one game -- Pitfall -- truly captured gamers' imaginations. In Pitfall, you guided a treasure hunter, Harry, through a dangerous jungle. Harry's adventure continues now on the Genesis: He's been kidnapped by an evil Mayan god and it's up to you to help Harry Jr. Fans of the original Pitfall will notice right away that Harry Jr. Lightning- fast snakes, stone-throwing monkeys, swooping eagles, skeletons, and a host of other enemies make it a jungle out there.
There's a lot to enjoy in this game, including the original Pitfall. That's right, if you don't know what the Atari game looked and played like, you can find it on level eight!
