I absolutely love this game, so does my best friend. Last Friday was the first day I tried it. I thought I solved a case but, the lady said I needed a warrant, what's that? But besides that I'm so excited to play that game until it's my group's turn!! I plan to get it but who knows, maybe I get the computer game or the gamecube one. No matter what, I think this game is a blast. I recommend this ages 9-12. But be careful when you solve your case, you have to solve it before your fuel or gas runs out!!
This game is for kids that likes mystery, adventure, and wants to learn. Now I say those kids are smart!

What can I say?

What is there to say about Carmen Sandiego? This game is so much fun, and at 12 years old, I still love to play it! It's education AND fun at the same time, and you don't find many games like that nowadays. Carmen Sandiego is great!

Gotta Love Carman

This so far is my favorite game that I have to play in school. I haven't found carman yet but I'm working on it. Unfourtunaty, you LEARN something! But it also gives it a good excuse for someone to buy it for you. I definatly give 5 stars to this game. I also thank the creater for inventing the game.

Great!

This is an educational product while it entertains and teaches problem solving skills. My 8 year old really looks forward to playing it.

Fond memories

This seems to be the same game that I loved as a kid, unfortunately the disc was pretty much unusable (worn from tons of use) by the time we got to WinXP, so I don't know about that problem.

All I know is that even now, almost 10 years later, I am much more educated about the 50 states than fellow college seniors.

Besides what you learn through playing the adventures, the built-in "atlas" is an incredible and easily understandable resource. It includes a lot of interesting information as well as the basics.

Great Game, but...

It does not work in Windows XP or above. Even when changing the settings to Windows 98 or 95 compatibility mode is does not help. Actually the game will run, but will freeze at completely random spots. We've got 30 some copies of this game in our computer lab at the school I work at and we can't use them. It used to be a favorite of almost every 4th and 5th grader in the building. Anymore, the kids the that know about the game don't even try. It just doesn't work anymore. Bummer. The kids loved it, fantastic educational game, easy to learn, overall a challage to play... and we can't use it.

So slow.

This software was so slow to load on my Dell laptop that my son never even tried to play this game. I love the game (from previous versions) but this version was pretty much unplayable.
