Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
