The Equal of P.S.#1, but not as good as Pajama Sam 2

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!)

Excellent, but not quite as wonderful as Pajama Sam 2

Pajama Sam 2 is a hard act to follow, and I am not surprised that the expectations formed by PS-2 were not quite met. PS-3 comes close, though, and I am happy to see my 5-year-old play this game. Pajama Sam is a wonderful role model - energetic, smart, polite, eager to help others, determined and happy to solve problems, funny, creative, and resourceful. The environment of PS-3 is just not quite as richly imagined and full of surpises as PS-2. If you have 1 and 2, you should get 3, but if you are new to Pajama Sam, start with 1 and 2.

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!

A Great game for Children of All Ages!

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.

Better than Pajama Sam 2 !

This game, as are all of the Pajama Sam games, is great! It is humorous, educational and entertaining. The puzzels are a little harder than the first two games, but not beyond the suggested age range for the game. Both of my kids (10 and 5) loved it.

In this game Pajama Sam has to help the peace delegates of the food pyramid get to the peace summit. The healthy foods and sweet foods can't seem to get along together. Some of the delegates are stuck in various predicaments and Sam has to rescue them. Sam's off-the-wall humor is as snappy as ever.

I have to admit, I also enjoyed this game and often wonder why adult games aren't this fun. I highly recommend it.

Be sure to pack a knife & fork!

There's food aplenty in the latest PJ Sam adventure. As with most of the HUMONGOUS ENTERTAINMENT titles, this is a RPG for kids. You have to visit all of the locations and interact with all of the characters in order to reach the climax which, in this game, is peace between all of the food groups.

I liked how fruits & vegetables were portrayed in this game...none of that stereotypical "veggies are the 2nd class citizens of the kid food world" nonsense pervades. All food groups are treated equally, although I must admit that the so-called junk foods were portrayed, as they typically are in the media; in a rather negative light. I was surprised that the junk foods didn't speak with English accents and the veggies speak with American accents...much like the conflict between the slaves & the Romans in Kubrick's SPARTACUS.

All in all, it was a good diversion for my child. As with all HUMONGOUS titles, when the action gets stuck in a particular place it's quite easy for grownups to access the help menu, which provides for quick solutions. Another good feature of the HUMONGOUS titles is their replayability. There are always multiple game-paths to the finish.

Fun game, but....

...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....

Great,but you know how sequels are.

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.

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!
