Game Informer Review

Okay boys and girls, it's time to find Carmen Sandiego! The globetrotting education wonderland is putting gamers through one of the most bland platforming experiences of their lives. I have my complaints with the game, but the overwhelming feeling I have while tracking the wily Sandiego around the world is simple boredom. I'm not angry; I'm not cursing the screen (especially after I figured out the game's somewhat quirky stealth); I'm just disinterested.

Rated: 6 out of 10

Product Description

The last descendant of an African King reveals an ancient secret with his dying words: Deep in the jungles of Rwanda lies a hidden temple containing a great diamond which possesses the knowledge of all nations. The map to the temple has been etched onto the skins of eight drums scattered throughout the world, and all eight drums must be re-united to open the temple. But beware, the drums are protected by mysterious powers, and legend has it that elemental spirits guard the treasure. And so begins Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums; where players travel through nine exotic locations to learn their history and geography, while solving challenging puzzles along the way.

Kids age 7 and 10 seem interested. They want to get to the next point. Moves along at a good pace. Not exactly like the cartoon though!!! Very different premise and characters!

I actually am enjoying the game so far and my kids (age 7 and 9) are as well. It has some chalanges, but it keeps moving just fine. NOt the best game ever, but far from worst.
