2.0 out of 5 stars Picture didn't match, April 9, 2010

I ordered this with the excitement of a 10 year old on Christmas- I've been desperately looking for the Where in The World is Carmen Sandiego that I played when I was a litle girl. I ordered this one because the picture of the item showed the version I've been looking for-the 1996 version, however, when I got the CD, I got the 2001 version, which is A) not the one I want, and B) not the one in the picture. I wish they would've specified to me that they were going to send me the 2001 version instead of having me order it thinking that I was purchasing the 1996 version (which again, is the version pictured). The only good thing about my experience is that I got the shipment really fast-about 3 days after I placed the order.

My children love to play this game. However, if you, like me, used to play this game as a child and loved it, you may be a little disappointed. It is not the same game. But it is a "new and improved" game. Still, like I said the kids like it. It is a little more difficult finding the clues then I remember.
