Game Review 1 (written by Scarney) Added on: 11/19/2006
I really enjoyed this game as a child and I find that still as an adult it is a very entertaining game. I play it with my children and we can really make it a family night everyone gets into playing this game. It is also very good for teaching Geography and different things that certain places are famous for, this game is a winner and I am glad when my children ask to play this instead of playing the violent video games that are out now it is like having a mini geography class session in the middle of your living room.

It is also a game that is not completely repetitive so it really keeps them and me entertained for hours. If your child doesn't know a lot about all the places in the world this is a great game for them because it makes learning about different places fun and exciting and it gives children a real sense of accomplishment to move up or if your child knows a lot about Geography and different places this game would still be fun it really gives them a boost in self esteem when the get the right answers.
I first played this game when my little brother was in the hospital as a child and this game made the endless days at

the hospital a lot brighter and it kept us occupied so that we were not just focused on all the different procedures he was going to have to endure during his stay and we would play as a team, and even at the age of 5 he was still a great partner to have it is very exciting when you actually capture the villain you are looking for and as your rank gets higher it is like you are continually challenging yourself.
He now knows much more than most people about geography and we really haven't been out of this state but from all the neat and different little information thrown into the game you would never know it. All in all this is probably one of my very favorite games that I have sat down and played on the computer and since I don't have time to do it a lot it really means something that I use the time I do have to play this game by myself, with friends, and with my children and all of their little friends.
It is definitely worth the time you put in to download it you will really like it. I wasn't a big fan of the show on the television however I really liked this game.

Game Review 2 (written by Pizzatastegood) Added on: 09/23/2006
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego is my favorite educational game of all time. When I played it as a child, I found it to be both fun and interesting.
In the game, you are an investigator who earns different promotions based on the number and speed in which you are able to capture the henchmen for the master criminal named Carmen Sandiego. You are only able to find her henchmen based on the clues given to you at your location. These locations consist of a variety of cities around the globe, and you must determine which city you must travel to follow your suspect based on clues describing city features such as geography, exports, famous landmarks, and unique cultural information. In case, you happen to travel to the wrong location, the trail of clues will go cold and you must travel back to the city you last came from in order to reexamine the evidence. When you finally catch up to each criminal, you must obtain a "warrant" by submitting your evidence and making a guess as to which of Carmen's henchmen has perpetrated the crime you are trying to solve.
Should you be successful in capturing your criminal based on your world knowledge in the time allotted to you at the start of the case, you will be able to move onto the next case. Each one getting you closer to your final pursuit of Carmen Sandiego.
Although the educational factor may be a turn off to some people, overall it is definitely entertaining and you will be surprised how committed you may become in order to see the next cut scene letting you know that you are in hot pursuit. Some of the information necessary to move may actually not be common knowledge. As you progress through the game, it becomes more and more difficult. I believe the original game actually came with a book of facts in which players could actually look up different countries or statistics. It is very likely that while playing the game, you may have to use some sort of outside source in order to find some of these answers due to the fact that there is just such a wide range of topics.
I would definitely recommend that you should at least check this game out. It’s one of those classic games which is still on par with the next-gen graphics games in terms of fun.

One of my favorite games in my C64 library, Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego was an excellent educational opportunity for those still learning world geography. The game kept me sufficiently challenged and engaged for hours!
