Image: MobyGames

Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure

Yet another David Perry camera


Genre: action - punch n kick

Publisher: Activision

Year: 1994

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Cut from the same cloth as Maui Mallard, Lion King, Jungle Book and all the similar games. Spastic camera, floaty controls, hard to distinguish platforms, maze-like levels, crappy hit detection, cheap hits, etc.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Maze-like. Hard to tell where to go. Requires precise platforming and the ridiculous vine grabs from Lion King. Enemies pop out for cheap hits. Lots of blind jumps.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

I love the original! I'd love for this to be a good game.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Amazing graphics but man the animation is overkill. Less color than the SNES version


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:


Overall Score: 57

Review ID: 1163
