Plot edit

While watching television, Sam gets startled by a thunderstorm and decides to make it stop by traveling to World Wide Weather, the company that produces the weather. By stowing away in a crate to be carried into World Wide Weather, Sam infiltrates the building and confronts the workers Thunder and Lightning only to realize that they are very friendly and that thunderstorms are beneficial for plants.

While trying to step closer, Sam trips over his cape and accidentally lands on a red button that causes the company's weather machines to break and all the weather around the world to go out of control. Sam is then tasked with finding four missing pieces belonging to the weather machines while Thunder and Lightning report the incident to World Wide Weather's president, Mother Nature.

As Sam progresses with fixing the machines, Thunder and Lightning compliment him on his hard work. After Sam fixes three of the machines, Mother Nature, suspicious of the strange weather occurring, decides to inspect World Wide Weather, putting Thunder and Lightning's jobs on the line. Fortunately, Sam manages to fix the last machine as soon as Mother Nature arrives. After Mother Nature leaves for vacation, Thunder and Lightning thank Sam for saving their jobs and let him control the weather as a reward.

Gameplay Elements edit

Like the first game, this game employs multiple scenarios to play. Each of the four weather machine parts can be found in one of two locations which are completely random. However, a new feature is the option to choose from several scenarios of where the machine parts are located, though the options of scenarios are rather limited due to some of the puzzles conflicting with each other. An optional second quest of this game is to find all 16 missing pieces of Sam's jigsaw puzzle, which will form an amusing picture when they are all collected. Several minigames, including a weather-based board game called "Weather Board" are included.[6]

Reception edit

Pajama Sam 2 received generally positive reviews upon release, but critics noted the game wasn't as good as the first. Pajama Sam 2 got 5 out of 5 stars from Review Corner,[8] 7/10 from Unikgamer,[9] 4 out of 5 stars from Adventure Gamers[7] and 4 out of 5 stars from MacHome.[10] Review Corner gave this game the Award of Excellence.[8]
