Summary: Fun game, but....
Review: ...I think it is pushing it to say it is for 3 year olds. Our almost 4 year old received this as a gift and has enjoyed it from day one. The only down side is that it was a little difficult to figure out in the beginning. I had to get into the 'help' pages and figure it out myself. He now can play on his own and enjoys it. Perhaps we should have started with Pajama Sam 1 and 2....

Summary: The Equal of P.S.#1, but not as good as Pajama Sam 2
Review: Greetings. Last Saturday (March 25, 2000), my 4-year old nephew and I went out to get "project stuff" (paint, glitter, etc.) to play with. IMAGINE OUR SURPRISE AND DELIGHT when we came across what was apparently the ONLY copy of Pajama Sam 3 in the store! (How it got there ahead of the April ship date, I don't know.) Suffice it to say, the 4-year old "rules the roost", and the pocketbook, so I bought it for him and we played it that evening.

Pajama Sam 3 has the same level of fun and challenge as Pajama Sam 1. In #3, Pajama Sam has to find four missing peace delegates, who represent the food groups (of the food pyramid). Maybe I'm spoiled, but P.S. 3 did not live up to the fantastic work done on P.S. 2. I believe it to be an excellent entry in the P.S. series, but out of 5 stars (with P.S. 2 a solid 5), Pajama Sam 3 gets 4.25 to 4.5. The subject matter (the food group) seemed more of an attempt to get kids thinking about healthy eating, rather than the excitement of the chase. PLUS, there was nothing to print out once all of the 20 "box tops" were collected. Also, I did not notice (granted, did not look for) any additional "side games", as there was in Pajama Sam 2.

Make no minstake about it, my nephew and I both loved P.S. 3 (we figured it out on the first run through, which took a total of 2.5 hours); but I guess I was looking for more excitement or more of a challenge.

FINAL STATEMENT: Go ahead and make Pajama Sam 3 a part of your kid's software collection. I hope that we see many many more in the future (one new entry per year would be excellent!)

Summary: Superb
Review: How do you rate a kids game?
Simple: Do they hear you when they are playing? (No.)
Do they cause trouble during or after? (No.)
Do they just scream when the present was opened? (Yes.)
My son can't take his face away from the scream from this wonderful game. Take it from a Dad. If your child is 3-7, this is THE game!

Summary: A good time, as usual
Review: I expected my kids (6 and 4) would get tired of the humungous game series of role-playing games (Pajama Sam and Freddi Fish), but they don't! It seems they could play them forever, even though the basic gameplay is the same for all of them. Humungous keeps things fresh by introducing new characters and puzzle types that keep the kids hooked. The story is engaging enough that one kid doesn't mind watching while the other plays. But don't be fooled by the packaging that alludes to the educational benefit of learning about food groups--any learning that occurs will be by accident. Also, a few of the puzzles require reading skills and left my kids calling for help. All in all, a fun game that is worth the price of admission.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great,but you know how sequels are.
Review: I think that Pajama Sam 3 is pretty good and I just love Humungous Entertanment(the company)games 'cause it's different every time you play and I like the humor in this but like it says in my title here,great,but you know how sequels are.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: not just for kids
Review: I've been playing the Palama Sam games with my granddaughter,neices and nephews, and we have been having a great time. I'm 49 years old and find them interesting and they really make the kids think. They are for all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great fun for more experience 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 getting a representative of each food group out of a pickle so they can get to an important meeting. Along the way he will solve a lot of smaller puzzles and click on many objects that dance or act out funny events. 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: Pajama Sam 3
Review: In this funny sequel to Pajama Sam 1 and 2, Pajama Sam must help the food groups get along with each other better than, currently, planning war and taking prisoners. Lots of characters each with their own personalities, cool music, cameos, romance, laughs, color, smooth graphics, and rewarding credit pictures. I'm incredibly glad I bought this! The puzzles are more obvious, and some are just plain silly. If you pay attention, you can figure out nearly every scene as a part of the body. Even older kids will like this game! It has many more animations than Pajama Sam 1 and 2, but that adds to the fun! Buy this game!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Autistic Kid Loves It
Review: My 7-year old autistic daughter loves this Pajama Sam 3, at least as much as the previous 1 & 2.

She is obsessed with food, so this game has special appeal for her.

The only criticism I might have is that although the "sweets" are really the "bad guys" in this game (and the veggies are the "good guys), it is not clear enough for young minds to appreciate this .... the bad sweets are having so much fun, all over the place.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great game for Children of All Ages!
Review: My children and I were so excited when we knew that a new Pajama Sam game had come out. My children have played it every day since we bought it and they still rave.

In this new game, the Food Guide Pyramid, needs Pajama Sams help. The evil Fat and Sugars are making trouble for the good ole natural foods. So Pajama Sam takes a cool ride into the human body for an adventurous quest between good and evil.

Pajama Sam and your children will learn about the difference between good food (fruits and vegetables) and junk food (cakes, cookies and chips).

As with all Humongous games, this one is filled with vibrant colors and cool sounds. There are many fun and friendly characters all throughout this enchanting game. There are different objectives each time the game is played. You can also save the game each time you play it.

I recommend this game to anyone with children. It does not matter their age, they will want to play it anyway.
