Scared Gamer review Mon, 15 Feb 2010

Pitfall The Big Adventure threatens to regurgitate the old platformer, but through boxy visuals and ported gameplay emerges a better game than expected. The Wii needs more adventures like this, but on crowded shelves this is likely to go unnoticed.

Franchises refuse to die. Any title with even the merest hint of a repackaged income will always try to cash in on that. Yet while the original Pitfall holds a strong place in older gamers' hearts, I can't help but question its relevance today. My reservations alter nothing, of course, so after numerous attempts to revitalize the twenty-eight year old brand we are finally treated to the first Pitfall game of this console generation - even if it is a port of a six year old PS2 game.
