Game Review (written by Mallorymallory) Added on: 12/01/2006
I loved Where In the USA Is Carmen Sandiego! This is probably one of my favorite classic, childhood games. Where In the USA Is Carmen Sandiego helps you use logic and learn a little bit of the history of the United States and each states culture through the background music that plays while you play the game, the background images have historical buildings and architecture, and you are sometimes provided with a guide for each state. Also, each state has information on their key structures, main cities, state flags, and the main points of their history.

Where In the USA Is Carmen Sandiego is enriched full of useful information that will help get you through the hunt to find the suspects through historical clues provided by witnesses. State information will also help you save greatly needed fuel, giving you a longer time to catch the criminals! Plus, you will also gain knowledge for schoolwork and projects.
In this game you are a detective trying to capture Carmen and the criminals in her gang. In order to find these criminals, you must use logic and have a basic knowledge of the different areas you visit. These tools allow you to track criminals from area to area while receiving clues on what they look like. Once you fill out their basic descriptions

you must get a warrant for their arrest. Then you will eventually run into this criminal and you can arrest them. However, if you forget to get a warrant, they cannot be arrested and will get away with what they’ve stolen! Also, you must be careful with your descriptions of the suspect so not to arrest the wrong person. If you do manage to do this, the criminal flees from the scene and gets away. So be careful who you arrest!
Don’t hesitate to arrest the suspect once you are sure they are the criminal though. You will eventually run out of fuel, from either traveling to the wrong area or simply spending too much time in each place. Once you make the arrest it gives you a promotion to a higher rank. And eventually, you will be of a high enough rank and you will go against Carmen!
I had so much fun playing this game with all of my friends and I really did learn facts about different states. Where In the USA Is Carmen Sandiego is one of the best games to play and it allows you to reminisce back to your childhood!

I remeber playing this game for hours as a kid. It's amazing how much easier this game is now that I'm an adult! Still fun though.

I remember playing this game for hours when I was a kid. I remember learning quite a bit from this game, and I was heartbroken when it didn't work on my new computer.

Very educational for children. My kids play this at school and absolutely love it. I ended up purchasing it for my home and it's a constant battle over who gets to play next.

I loved playing this game in school when I was younger. It is still fun and educational. The game play is still as fun now as it was back then. The newer versions are good but you still can't beat a classic!

Great game. Our kids really enjoy playing this one. A great way to learn geography for kids. I remeber playing this game as a kid, and it kept my attention well.

I really learned a lot about geography and logic from playing this game. I really wish game manufacturers would make more games like this because they teach kids so much!

Carmen Sandiego has stood the test of time in my book as a great game. Using your brain (as well as that long lost geography class knowledge from highschool) has never been so much fun. I recommend this game for anyone. Parents, if you have this game on your computer, you'll know your children are learning and having a great time all at the same time! Happy Carmen hunting!

This is a great game. I used to play it all the time when I was a kid. It really helped teach me our geography.
 
 
Castalal (07/10/2007)
Great game. Totally helpful for geography practice. The more you play, the more you learn. Wonderful educational tool.
 
 
Runningsig (07/04/2007)
Awesome game and a fun way to learn some geography. This was my favorite of the Carmen Sandiego games because you had to solve several cases before you could go after Carmen herself. I also liked how the difficulty increased as you progressed through the ranks as a detective.

I love this game!
