Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? Classic

Customer Reviews

A little different and more involved

2007-07-12
This version of the Where in The World, is one of the more different of the Carmen Santiago series. It does not have much of the "classic" features but what makes this game so good is not just the fact that it's educational but the fact that it has a more serious story with a more realistic view point. It's also challenging and a little more personal, for you get to control characters that have back-story and there own personality that's not necessarily comical. So if you're looking for a deeper and less simple version of the game, you should try it, if you prefer the classic versions, than this may or may not be for you.

Make sure you check the hardware requirements. I was really excited to find this program. I ordered it and when we installed it wouldn't work because our systems were too new.

Awesome game for my 4,7 and 10 year olds. I enjoyed playing it with them. Listening, visual and grographic skills were used. Loved the adventure and education of this classic game.

This is a good game that will teach children about world geography but younger children may get frustrated with this game. It is really geared toward pre-teens and you have to listen closely to the clues in order to determine where is the world is Carmen. This game will work with Windows XP Home Edition but you have to run it in compatibility mode.

Warning: It�s not an easy game.

This game is a little frustrating for any child who cannot yet associate a continent with the following clues: kroner, Ho Chi Minh trail, outback, Sahara. I had to help out more than either of us would have liked. On the other hand, it's fun, so she is motivated to try. And she is learning a lot!

Just like when we were kids

This game is educational and fun. We have a 6yr old boy who loves this. He is learning to put the case together to find Carmen. It, however, does not work on our Windows XP but does work on our MacBook.

A fairly good product.

My only complaint is that i didn't realize it was the version for schools. Other than that it is good.

Not like the old Carmen I remember

I was so excited to find Carmen after so many years! I would sit and play for hours when I was in elementary and middle school. For some reason...I'm just not that excited about this new CD-ROM version. If you get stuck you end up going in circles trying to find a way out and you get clues that lead you right back to another dead end. It is probably a fantastic version for those who don't remember the Carmen I remember.

Great adventure!

I loved this software. I'm older, but I needed a geography refresher course. This did it. I wish there was more!

Not what I expected

I was hoping this was the version of Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego that I had previously owned. But nope, this version sucks rocks.
