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.

Pitfall the lost expidition
Before I say anymore, I want to tell everyone NOT to take my three star rating too seriously. This rating was specific to my experience, and more specificly, my gaming ability. I am fairly new at this kind of gaming, as I usually play pc games only. I used to play the original version of Pitfall, years ago, and remember it fondly. I like the grafix, and Harry's personality a lot. I am having a difficult time getting past the beginning after the crocodiles. I would recommend the game to anyone who is fairly experienced in gameing, or who has time to figure things out. I can tell that it will be a lot of fun once I get a little better at it.
very adventureous
I got this video game for my kids, aged 7, 9, 14, & 16, and they have all enjoyed playing it. My 7 year old has a harder time, but it's just because he doesn't know what to do. My 9 year old loves it, and I must say I sit and watch him and it makes me want to play. It's a great adventure game, with lots to explore, that isn't fast and it's easy to understand. You get hooked on it. I am happy that I got it, and would recommend it to others.
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.
