 DVD Times - Pitfall
Pitfall (Otoshiana) is Teshigahara's social critique on the state of the poor man working in a post-war era that questions several meanings in life and sports several characters who each represent a part of the very society that Teshigahara documents.
If anything were to go against Pitfall then it would be its relatively uneven use of the son.
The director thinks of his film as being a fantasy/documentary, one which studies the way in which the working class are ill treated by the hands of their unsupportive hierarchy and it does indeed work as such.

 WORTHPLAYING - - All about games !
Overall, Pitfall: The Lost Expedition isn't the breakthrough comeback that fans of the original have been hoping for over the last 20 years, but it is a good, solid, platformer that manages to stay entertaining for the duration of the experience - which, unfortunately, isn't all that long.
But then came the inevitable onslaught of sub-par Pitfall follow-ups and sequels, and poor Pitfall Harry was left standing out in the cold, holding his whip in the wind.
Visually, Pitfall: The Lost Expedition isn't one of the best looking games on the GameCube, but it is more than capable of dishing out lots of nice character animations and adequately detailed environments ranging from lush jungles, lava-flooded caves, and icy terrain.

 Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Review for Xbox - Gaming Age
What is a genuine surprise, however, is that developer Edge of Reality has been able to reinvent Pitfall Harry and his jungle adventures for a new audience of gamers in Pitfall: The Lost Expedition without losing all of the hooks that made the original such an addictive experience.
It's hard to explain, because it sounds like a feature found in most platforms, but Pitfall: The Lost Expedition accomplishes it in such a seamless fashion that it truly seems "natural." Even though the game is divided into linear stages, the players don't really use the map as a guide of where to go next.
Next-generation updates of old school classics never go out of style in the video game industry, making the return of Activision's Pitfall franchise more of an inevitability than anything else.

 Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Review for GameCube on GamePro.com
Pitfall Harry is back for another rumble in the jungle in Pitfall: The Lost Expedition, a great action/platform game in the tradition of the classic series.
Standard Pitfall stuff like vine-swinging and platform-style jumping are all handled with the usual flair and precision that enable you to nail difficult acrobatics to reach any spot you can see...and some you can't see.
Pitfall artfully manages all the standard game views, including close-ups, thanks to simple one-touch camera controls and a steady game camera that practically defy you to find a bad or blocked viewing angle.

 Pitfall: The Lost Expedition (GCN) Review at GameSpy.com
They needn't have worried; this Pitfall is one of the finest platforming romps of the year.
This game does 90 percent of everything right, and 10 percent of it very, very wrong (more about that later), but as Pitfall fans were settling on even an average platforming romp, the fact they'll instead be playing the best platformer since Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy makes the past anguish all the more rewarding.
Avoid all manner of gaming pitfalls with Activision's latest 3D action / platformer romp.
