Activision announces Pitfall: The Big Adventure for the Wii
Sometimes I think certain games are better off without motion controls, especialy when Activision poses the question, “What could be more fun than using the Wii Remote to swing on a vine over blood thirsty crocodiles as retro-cool Pitfall Harry?!” Umm… probably pressing the A button and then releasing to swing on the vine. Really something tells me this game is going to be brought down by terrible controls, I have no idea how they plan on pulling off using the Wii remote to swing on vines without it being overly awkward.
Enough bad talk though. The game is being developed by Edge of Reality, and they are bringing back a very similar character design from the previous Pitfall game “Pitfall: The Lost Expedition”, which is a highly stylized, big footed version of Harry. Thinking positively though, it seems to only be in development for the Wii, so maybe instead of porting it to the Wii with sloppy controls it might just end up being a great platformer for the Wii, we will find out later this year.
