3.0 out of 5 stars Carmen: The Platformer, August 4, 2004

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Carmen Sandiego (Video Game)

Carmen Sandiego for the Xbox is based on the classic pc game, but it doesn't feel like the classic game. It barely resembles the old game. Gone are the globe trotting and searching for clues to find criminals. Now it plays like a 3D platformer with stealth elements. You are armed with a pole and a blow gun. The pole can be used to activate switches, or even weapon against robots. The pole can help you jump across long gaps. Since the robots can only be destroyed from behind, you must sneak up to them from behind then wack them with your pole; this is where the stealth element becomes apparent. The whole game looks cartoony and colorful, This is a non-violent stealth game for kids. It is kinda fun, but it makes me miss the classic Carmen Sandiego games because it had the fun trivia and required you to use your brain. Something which is missing in this game.

Pros:
+good graphics
+very cartoony
+good animation
+lots of speach
+good voice-acting
+good level designs
+good camera angles

Cons:
-ugly jungle music
-too kiddy like
-enemies are stupid
-puzzle solving sucks
-fun trivia is gone
-straight platformer
-miss the old Carmen games
-kid's stealth game?

So, like, this game is fun and cool and all, but I bought it for my 7 yr old nephew and he finds the robots hard to beat.
