Rating: - The new and updated Pitfall
I've been a fan of Pitfall since I was a young kid when I used to play the original Pitfall on the Atari 2600 all the time. "Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure" is a great update to the Activision classic. You take Pitfall Harry on a journey through many different levels ranging from a waterfall level to a runaway mine cart level, and many others such as a lost ruins level. Pitfall Harry is on a mission to save his dad (the one that was in the original Pitfall), and it's your mission to get him there.
This game has some of the best graphics for the Super Nintendo and you'll see that throughout the game. It has good controls, the sound and music couldn't have been done any better, and it's a lot of fun. Pitfall Harry has many weapons you can use, including a belt, rocks, and many other powerups that you can find. You can also keep hold of the attack button for a few seconds and make Pitfall Harry use an extra strong attack. At the end of some of the levels there's a boss you have to defeat to get to the next level. While you make your way through the game, you will have to use many tactics to get through the levels, such as using whips to make your way across vines. The enemies are plentiful with snakes, spiders, skeleteons, etc.
"Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure" isn't an impossible game to beat, but it does have a good challenge. And once you do beat the game, it's always fun to start from the beginning and play it all over again. To keep the replay value from falling through, you can find the original Atari 2600 version of Pitfall somewhere in the game. Which, for anybody who grew up with the Atari, is a major plus. If you like fun adventure and action games, I definitely recommend getting this one.
Rating: - Pitfall isn't that bad of a game.
Graphics are excellent for a super nintendo game. Challenging at first, since you are unable to save a game if you have quit. But overall, it's pretty good.
