Summary: ethans favorite
Review: I gave this to my three year old for christmas as he loved the other two pajama sams. This one is his current favorite and he plays it at least once a week.
All the kids enjoy mixing the potions and watching what happens.
Plenty of fun click points for kids who like them.
There is the extra puzzle of finding all the socks and matching them into pairs, some socks are hard to find especially the red ones in the mine that you have to grab as you speed by, parents will have to help with this one. A good game for learning to look for tiny details.
It is a great game with plenty of replayability and with the message that darkness isnt frightening at all, great for kids who are scared of the dark,
Changes a little every time you play.
You have three things to find, the lunchbox, the flashlight and the mask and each has two places it can be hidden, with a different set of puzzles for each hiding spot. First you must find them in Sams bedroom, then you loose them in the land of darkness and have to find them again.
As in the other games there are puzzles you met every time as well as the puzzles that change depending on the game paths you meet.
For older kids tell them to hunt out the worm game hidden in the mine, as parents you will remember this one as one of the early type of computer games you used to play when computers were the new toy in town.
You can save your games to finish later a plus with any game of this type.
Overall its a fun game that kids will love and so will there parents and the kids wont notice that they are learning to think and remember.

Summary: Dark
Review: I wish they would make more games that are more light. So many, like this one, are too dark and dreary. My children like it, but I don't.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lots of fun
Review: I'm not sure what age this is actually recommended for, but it's been fun and challenging for a 7 yr old, fun (but not completeable without help) for a 5 yr old, and inexpensive entertainment for a 2.5 yr old (who loves some of the mini games). I think one of the best features is that it changes whenever you start a *new* game. You can save the old ones and pick up where you left off, but if you start a new game, your challenges will change, as will some of the characters you meet. Since the basic plot is Pajama Sam wandering around the land of darkness looking for his Pajama Man lunchbox, mask, and flashlight so that he can confront darkness, the general map stays the same, but the specifics vary. Sometimes a carrot freedom fighter has the mask and you have to help liberate his fellow carrots before he'll give it back to you. And sometimes you have to find paddles for your boat, or cogs for a gear -- you get the idea. The downside for a parent is that you don't automatically know where everything is and how to get it, even if you've played it through yourself. The upside in the game is that you will occasionally be given hints like, "if only I had something that floated". And some of the mini-games are fun -- all the kids love mixing up potions in the laboratory.

On the whole, this game is light hearted with a good sense of humor and fairly entertaining. The problems aren't *usually* very difficult, though I have run across a few that are fairly involved and may require parental hints for younger kids. I just wish it ran native on OS X, istead of requiring 9. Not a big thing, just a little annoying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: higher level experience for little gamers
Review: If your child has played beginning level software and is ready to move on to more advanced gameplay, Humongous Entertainment's Pajama Sam series (and Freddi Fish and Putt-Putt as well) are an excellent choice. These titles take the cognitive tasks up a notch as children must accumulate specific items, navigate a number of locations, and use their problem-solving skills to help new friends and achieve larger goals. Along the way, funny and lovable Pajama Sam will meet a number of nice characters, visit a variety of interesting locations and play mini-games as he completes the larger task of finding and defeating Darkness, who scares him. Along the way he will help a boat find his oars, oil a creaky mine car, etc. Specifics change if you start a new game, and as other reviewers have stated, you may want to play with your child a few times before they'll be able to enjoy it on their own, so each game is good for hours of fun.

This is a fine game in a great series. We have all the Pajama Sam titles and enjoy them all.

Summary: pajama sam
Review: It is a good game with a lot of puzzles but it is easy

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: we love it
Review: My 5-year old son wants to give this game "two hundred stars." Very enjoyable, changes a bit each time you play, he has grown into it over the past 6 months. He was very good at preschool software when we received this for his birthday, and this challenges him. We look forward to trying a new Sam adventure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Autistic Kid Loves all Pajama Sam games
Review: My 7-year old autistic daughter loves this one, and the subsequent Pajama Sam games.

Originally I bought it for her but she wasn't too interested. But that's because she couldn't figure out how to get him going at the beginning, with his cape, mask, and lunchbox, into the closet, to really start the adventure.

Once we discovered this, and the whole "land of darkness" opened up, she was totally hooked.

The "cluttered, chaotic" nature of the game, which another reviewer criticized, is actually what makes it so attractive, so perfect, for my daughter!

She doesn't really care about the actual objective. She just likes going around, picking things up, clicking on things and making them interact, etc. And there is enough to keep her occupied for hours and days, just in this one game. (plus then there are #2 and #3)
