Review: 'Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure'
By Bad Hare
(IDG) -- "Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure," originally a 16-bit hit for Activision, holds up well as a handheld conversion on the GameBoy Advance mostly because it was such a high-quality game at the outset.
Pitfall Harry, star of the legendary Atari 2600 game, has spawned, and when Dad goes missing on a South American expedition, it's up to Harry Jr. to find his pop. Challenging both in terms of difficulty and convention (you do more than just run to the right), Pitfall looks gorgeous on the small screen, especially its fluid character animation, while the controls respond well and the sounds are sharp. Sure, it's a little old, but it was a best-seller in its day for reasons that become evident immediately after you pick it up. Your Mayan adventure awaits.
