Summary: A great game but not as goos as number 1 or 3
Review: First let me say that all of the Pajama Sam games are great. However, this game dragged a little as compared to the other two games. There seemed to be a lot more needless running around to get things. Also, unlike #1 and #3, there was no danger. In #1 you had the impending meeting with "Darkness", and in number three you have to get the peace delegates together to circumvent a "food war". (In number two, angry Mother Nature just didn't do it for my kids, 10 and 5). The sense of danger gave games #1 and #3 more of a sense of purpose than game #2.Sam is a great role model for kids. He's polite, energenic, helpful and up to a challenge. And everyone in the family loves his sense of humor. I recommend all of the Pajama Sam games. They are all great and any differences are really splitting hairs. However, my kids favorites in order of preference are: #1, #3 then #2. I hope this helps.

Summary: Pajama Sam 2
Review: I bought this game for my daughter Kylie Frances and found it to be another well made product by the Humongous Entertainment people. Kylie is 4yrs. old and can find her way through the storyline with little help from me. The problem solving tasks are perfectly made for her age and are so well animated and humorous that when she does need help, I find myself wanting to play along with her. Kylie and I give this product a 5 star rating and we suggest you give it a try.

Summary: another winner from Humongous Entertainment
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 helping to fix the interesting and entertaining weather machine. Along the way he will solve a lot o smaller puzzles. Specifics change if you start a new game, and you will 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: Excellent, with assistance
Review: My 3 and 1/2 year old loves the movement and many levels of this game; however, she cannot do it alone. After we went through it together (and it did take quite a bit of time) she was able to navigate a bit better on her own. There are numbers/codes involved, so I expect the makers of the game knew an adult would have to help out the younger players as well. Imaginative and fun!

Summary: An engaging hero who poitely encourages problem solving
Review: My 4 year old daughter has had this program for about a month and absolutely loves the Pajama Sam character - a cute, polite, smart and persistent role model. So, it's quickly become one of her favorites and she initiates playing it often. Pajama Sam's educational style is different than some other children's educational programs. It's learning how to solve problems through observation, memory, analysis, mental mapping, puzzle solving and trial and error. The scenario is that Pajama Sam needs to help correct out of control weather patterns in the world and to do that has to fix the weather machine. For example, he has to find parts, figure how to make them viable, and install them. But, almost nothing is direct. For example, he must get in the gate of the control center, but cannot until he can get past the gatekeeper. Or, he must find a way to open the can of solar energy that he has found before he can use it. Hmmm, how can he do that? So, it's 1-step forward, and 2-steps back - like many real problems. Some of these challenges are difficult for a 4 year old, so I think it works best with children of that age if a parent plans on some patient side-by-side time with their child in front of the screen. For example, some of the concepts can be unfamiliar to a 4 year old child, such as what a Wing Nut might be used for in fixing the weather machine. But, if you have the time to spend to coach them through these parts, I think this game is a good complement to other styles of learning. So, my 5-star rating assumes some guidance for children as young as 4 years old. If they will be left completely on their own with it, I think it's more suitable to an older child. One last point: My daughter now sometimes says, YOUR QUITE WELCOME in response to THANK YOU. The talking telephone in the Pajama Sam game replies to him that way (with QUITE) when he thanks it. There are many instances of polite behavior modeling in this program.

Review: My 6-year-old granddaughter says she finds this program her least favorite of all her CD's. Says it is a little confusing.

Summary: Autistic Kid Loves It
Review: My 7-year old autistic daughter loves this, and all the other Pajama Sam games we have. I only have to help her a little bit here and there to get her going, and then she will spend hours or days with this game.
In this one in particular (all 3 Pajama Sam games are great), a good feature is that you have to read the phone number, in the control room, in order to use the phone to make an appointment, to see "Mr. Somebody". And the phone number changes, each time you start up the program, so you can't just use the same one over and over again.

Summary: great fun
Review: My children could manage this game from 4 yrs. old and we all had a great time. Pajama Sam 1 is also a lot of fun, along with Freddi the Fish, and Putt Putt.
