Twenty-two years after making his groundbreaking debut on the Atari 2600, Activision's Pitfall Harry returns for more jungle-exploring action. The intrepid adventurer is brought to life for more than 50 perilous levels set in such exotic South American locales as rainforests, glaciers, mines, and ancient ruins. As in the original, players must utilize Harry's athletic prowess to swing from vines, run from rolling logs, hop over treacherous pits, avoid snapping crocodiles, and more, while trying to survive the hostile environment. His objectives? To retrieve lost artifacts before they fall into the hands of his rival and to save those in danger. Pitfall Harry will eventually encounter situations that even he can't conquer with a well-timed jump or two, so players can pull items stored in his knapsack to assist him. Like the character's single foray on the original PlayStation, this game is designed to make players smile while exploring the mysterious lands before them. Although Pitfall 3D made use of Bruce Campbell's voice for its comic effect, Pitfall Harry attempts to use its visuals to elicit grins, with the protagonist drawn as a caricature, with a large head balanced atop a slender body. As the story begins, Harry is a member of a treasure-hunting expedition whose plane goes down in the forest. The other survivors are scattered throughout the game; an older, wiser adventurer who was on the plane -- and who becomes incapacitated during the accident -- urges Harry to embark on a quest to save them while battling a rival, eco-unfriendly group of treasure hunters for the relics of the jungle so they can be returned to their rightful owners. He hands Harry the "Hero's Handbook" and Harry's off to adventure. The "Hero's Handbook's" pages are scattered throughout the levels just like the crash survivors are. Find new pages, and Harry will learn new moves.

this is gonna make me sound insane but pitfall bros its PEAK

I remember enjoying this game, but getting stuck and then i gave my xbox and games away....

pitfall harry? more like pitfall harasser. stick to rehab buddy

Product of its time for sure. Middle of the road 3D platformer that's perfectly serviceable but doesn't excel at anything. It wants you to collect upgrades and revisit old areas to collect more stuff, but I found the level design too linear to encourage doing so. Traversal isn't fun enough for me to want to run through all the areas the same way several times since none of the upgrades allow you to approach areas differently. The game already has me doing that enough anyway. Rewards for exploration are also always uninteresting and exactly what you expect.

I didn't find any of the characters very likeable, especially Harry. The jaguar was really annoying. The story in general is whatever but it's not like I expected much. Audio mixing in this game is terrible and sound effects vary wildly in quality.

Que grata surpresa, piadinhas e um vai e vem do caralho. "Um nativo está no meio do caminho/10"
