5.0 out of 5 stars My Nine Year Old Son Couldn't Stop Playing It, April 11, 2006

I was very happy to find that my nine year old son loved playing this CD. It's running on our Windows XP and we had no installation or operation problems. It was challenging for him but so much fun for him too! I'd buy it again definitely!

1.0 out of 5 stars A "good" computer game?, April 18, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Carmen Sandiego Math Detective [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

Okay, so you read all of the reviews, right? And they all basically said that this is a great game, right? Well, I want to tell you from a kid's point of view about this game. I'm not sure if they show a picture of the back of the cover, but it has skeletons on it (just so you know some of the content of this game). This game is like a spacy, almost alieny game where you have to do math to solve the mystery. You are in space in this weird "space building" and you click around on certain things and then math problems will come up. You are then guided through it by mechanical voices and must solve the problems. It's just weird, maybe if you like this kind of stuff, then this is the game for you. But sometimes, you never know what you're going to get when you buy it. That's how it was for us, all of the reviews said it was an awesome game. When we recieved it, we were dissapointed with what we got. Be an informed buyer!

I really liked this game. All of the "Where is CARMEN SANDIEGO" games are great games.
