Summary: Capturing Carmen in the 50 States
Review: Get your detective equipment ready, Gumshoe! This game will take you on adventures throughout the 50 states as a member of the Acme Detective Agency. You'll get your assignments from a friendly Chief and off you'll go to your assigned state where you'll pick up clues to both the identity of Carmen's current accomplice and to the next state the thief ran to. Clues are obtained by talking to people walking around and looking for "evidence" the thief left lying around. Once you've completed the profile of the thief, you get a warrant and make the arrest. Each adventure includes visits to about five states. After about three adventures, you get promoted to "investigator." Promotions come regularly until you reach the ultimate: Super Sleuth! Then, on your fortieth adventure, you capture Carmen herself. But watch out! The state clues get harder as your rank increases. Can't guess the clues? There's lots of opportunity for learning about the states in the "explore mode" complete with tour guides, reading material, maps, state flags, music, true-false games, even video. I found this to be a very valuable teaching tool. My six-year-old twins learned the names and locations of all 50 states within about a week, although they really aren't able to guess the state clues yet. This would be a great game for about fourth grade and up. A number of adults would also probably discover facts they never knew. This product does what the best educational CD Roms do: combines learning with a strong fun factor. Highly recommended!

Summary: great game for all ages
Review: I just recently bought this game for my seven-year-old soon to be eight-year-old son and he loved it! He didn't want to stop playing. I must admit though, that I had to sit and play it with him. At 7 or 8 years old a child's knowledge of cities and states isn't quite enough for this game. But, what was good about that is that child and parent can play together. Once you've got the game figured out and get your super sleuth hats on - it is lots of fun. This game promotes problem solving, searching for details, development of geographical and historical knowledge,reading skills and more! Kids will enjoy the graphics and the mysteries.

Summary: This is a cool game.
Review: This is a cool game. I had a tough time trying to beat it but I finally figured out how to catch Carmen Sandiago in the game. Here's how you catch her. Issue the warrant for the way she usually looks: Female, brown hair, tall, thin and wearing a hat. In Washington D.C click on the woman who is wearing an apron and then click "Stop theif! Your're under arrest!" If you issued the warant like I said you will beat the game and catch Carmen.

Review: This is a fun and educational game for everyone.

I recommend this game for kids and adults alike. I am 14 years old, and I play it with my 47 year old mom and 21 year old brother. I've been playing this game for years.

You learn interesting things about the states while trying to catch a crook without your battery going dead. When you catch certain crooks, you can get messages about Carmen for the last capture which of course is Carmen Sandiego herself.
