I finished this game last night and what a blast the journey was. I bought this game to take my mind away from work and school but I got hooked. When I thought I was stuck, it was because I had overlooked something -- you really have to use your wits and analytical skills sometimes! My boyfriend and I played together, he took some platforms and I did some. I thought the graphics were superb and it has made me a snob against games whose graphics are not as advanced. I'm no gamer-expert, just a casual user so I'm really no authority on graphics but this was fantastic. The other reviewer was correct -- you have to work at timing your vine jumps and sprints to get to where you want to go. This game was witty, exciting and aethetically marvelous.

This has to be one of the best platformers of the year. I've had this game for 2 days and I don't want to stop playing. It has the first 2 Pitfall games hidden inside (Pitfall + Pitfall II-Lost Caverns)that were on the Atari 2600. The only way they could have done better would have been to have included Super Pitfall from Nintendo NES, but maybe they can fit that in on the next sequal (hint hint). If you like Disney's Haunted Mansion & Shinx and the Cursed Mummy you'll like this.

The game play is great & I think I'll like playing it over & over.

No need to go into detail, this is classic Pitfall Harry action on steriods.

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Pitfall: The Lost Expedition (Video Game)

I heard nothing about this game when it came out a year ago and I found it in a bargain pile at Walmart for $20 so I decided to give it a try. Well its pretty damn good considering its price and that I didnt even hear about it when it first came out. The characters and the story arent exactly as "cool" as say Resident Evil 4 or God of War type games, in fact the characters are kind of geeky. But the gameplay is awesome a lot of fun with tons of moves and obstacles and action from te beginning to the endof the game. Controls are tight and well done. I recommend this game to anyone if they see it in the store give it a try like i said the charcters and the story might not be so cool but the gameplay is.
