My kids love Carmen Sandiego games. I don't know how much real learning gets inside because, once they figure it out, they skip the words that talk about history, geography, etc (we have more than one Carmen Sandiego game), but they love it and I'm sure enough sticks. Much better game than the "shoot-em-ups" that is so difficult to get them away from.

Amazon referred my order for this game to Electronjon's. The game disk would not load onto a home computer. It was very difficiult to get Electronjon's to issue a returns authorization number. They finally did, and I returned the disk over a month ago. I have heard nothing since! The post office confirms delivery of the return to Electronjon's on April 23. The company will not respond to email or fax. I think I have lost my money. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM ELECTRONJON'S!

A classic game that has been updated with video portions. My fifth grader really enjoyed the game and has spent several enjoyable hours learning how to get around the world on his mission as a gumshoe. This game can be used educationally to teach about Geography and good information about various places around the globe.

The graphics aren't fancy, but the educational opportunities with this game are great. My 7 year old daughter loves this game- she likes to speak words in all different languages and she knows now where Crete is! I like the kinds of games that teach my kids while they are having fun and this one does just that. (I'm learning a few things as well!)

This game would have been better if it came with directions so you would at least know how to play it and not have to guess at everything. I finally figured it out though.

Not the original Broderbund version. The learning company sux. It isn't worth the dollar. These nice guys sent me 2 separate disc's(same day) so they could soak me for 2 shippings of 6 bucks each. Absolute garbage. Never deal with these guys again. Anyone know where to get the version I had 12 years ago. Broderbund's site no good...

Used to play this game when I was little, so I thought I'd take a stroll down memory lane. It's not as exciting as I used to remember it, but it still brings out my inner child.
Your CD cover image is incorrect!

I bought this product under the pretense it was the Carmen Sandiego game from 1996, simply based on the description and jewel case cover photo. I was sent a copy of the game made in 2001.
The updated version is a perfectly workable game. I just wanted the one I played back in middle school!
Great but need to update the software

I purchased this for my 9 and 10 year olds as a supplement to help with their homeschool geography lessons. They absolutely love it. I have to tear them away to get them to do their other work. The only issue is that it does not seem to be compatible with later versions of Windows (XP - in our case), so the program frequently freezes and requires a restart which is very frustrating for the children.
