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

Hello, and good evening. I'm delighted to welcome you to another review. Tonight, I'm happy to review my favorite computer video game from Humongous Entertainment, "Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside." Yeah, I never reviewed a video game before, but I thought it's worth a try. Let's begin, shall we?

The story is that Sam is fed up with his fear of the dark and decides to conquer his fear by going into the Land of Darkness inside of his own closet. After getting his items stolen by Custom Trees, you help Sam retrieve his stuff around the Land of Darkness, along with meeting new friends like Otto, King, and Carrot. Along the way, you come across waterfalls, gold mines, a game of Cheese and Crackers, as well as a game of The Brain Tickler, and spoiler alert, you finally come across Darkness hiding in his closet only to realize that this Darkness guy is a lot more friendly than you can imagine. And with that Sam isn't afraid to sleep with the lights out anymore, good on him. Now, let's talk about what this game brought as a major upgrade from Freddi Fish and the Case of the Haunted Schoolhouse.

The people at Humongous Entertainment must've had a much larger crew the entire time they were making this game, because all of the improvements are properly represented here. For example, in the cut scenes, the characters' lip-sync movements match perfectly, however, there are still a few scenes where the lip-sync is off, but still, it's pretty good. Pamela Segall also doing the voice of Sam is also a treat to listen to, you don't even want to skip his dialogue because it's just so interesting to watch. Also, the music in this is pretty good, even the songs in Darkness' kitchen. Go back and check the character animation on Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon and check it against this and you'll see what progress was made between 1993 and 1996, three years, boy it took them three years to learn that.

So, bottom line, this video game is a game that is meant for everyone, for young and old alike. Just keep in mind that the dark is nothing to be afraid of, we think of it as our little companion. Having slept in the dark, I should know.

I'm not sure if I'll review more Pajama Sam games in the future, but overall, I'm not going to give up on the review industry
