Editorial Review:
Match wits with the elusive Carmen Sandiego as you recover the stolen treasures of knowledge! This time she's run off with a rare and valuable edition of the "Travels of Marco Polo." Worth millions! Includes challenging world missions, multiple puzzles and mind teasers, and much more!
Blend capitals with crime, and you've got the magic combination that makes geography cool. With its irreverent style, Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? is definitely a winner for the junior-high set.
Each story begins with a dispatched message from the Chief. In her typical, no-nonsense style, she tells you what you need to know: what was stolen, whom to look for, and where you're being sent to catch the thief. Kids will love the real-time video of the Chief's updates, as well as the cartoon-character types they meet along the way. The immediate purpose is to build a profile of the criminal, but the larger object is to learn the history of your destination spots.
The Carmen series has nice touches: the Chief urges rookie investigators to learn a little bit of the language, because "It always helps you do better." There are questions to answer, and at each new destination, the announcement information comes through in the appropriate local language--with a "debabilizer" that prints the message in English. If you get stuck at any point, you can request a guide who will give you a tour of your new land. A truly fun game that teaches kids the quirky and astounding elements of each culture they'll visit, Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? has a great deal to offer kids as they explore the cultures provided. --Jennifer Buckendorff
Discover the world in a thrilling crime-stopping chase. The world has lost all the salt from the Dead Sea, the gargoyles from Notre Dame, even the steps to the Tango. As a detective, your job is to interrogate informants, track clues with your electronic notepad, and arrest the thief before the battery meter runs out.

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