Background: The classic
Activision title is updated. This time, Pitfall Harry's son Jr.
must rescue dad from the evil warrior Zakelua. As in the
original, you must control your character in a 2D setting and avoid
sand traps, scorpions, and all sorts of evil creatures. Now you
get a sling shot which you can whip, shoot stones and magical rocks.
Throw in some power ups, gold, and other items to collect for good
measure.
Game Play: This game is a real treat.
The concept stays true to the original, but of course with updated
graphics, additional enemies such as bats and skeletons. Plus,
you now get some weapons. This 2D adventure game does not
disappoint, the graphics are good enough and the game flows quickly.
Although the game can be challenging, it progresses quickly once you
get the hang of it. So you do not necessarily die ever other
moment (like Flashback). The special treat of this game is that
you can warp into a bonus world of the original Pitfall! This
looks exactly like the original. Way to go! I highly
recommend this game.
Pros: nice mix of action, high
playability, bonus original Pitfall
Cons: not 3D-but who is complaining-this is an excellent game!
