5.0 out of 5 stars A stronger challenge than 'World', July 14, 2006

Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego is the Super Nintendo port of the old ibm/apple II computer game. Carmen Sandiego and her band of crooks are stealing priceless treasures of history, and it's up to you to stop them.

This one holds up really well, and is a much tougher game than "Where in the World," which the SNES also got a version of. As most people are less knowledgable about history than geography, be prepared to do a lot of research. Sometimes you can travel to more than one time period of the same location, meaning you have to be extra careful to get your facts straight. The warrant clues are also a bit more obscure, with more crooks sharing the same blond hair, brown eyes. You might need to research the name of a painting to find the crook's favourite artist, for instance. Finally, the amount of time for each case varies, providing different levels of challenge.

On top of all this, the presentation has received a few enhancements. Graphics are still lower-end 16-bit compared to later releases, and there's still not much music. But the goofy bad guy animations are more fluid, and the menu feels like the inside of a time travel machine with a viewport looking outside. That and the amusing bits in the detective agency where you can ride the elevator, get coffee, etc.

Overall, still a challenging game even for the older crowd. If you liked Carmen Sandiego as a kid and still have a working SNES, it might be worth tracking a copy down.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? (Video Game)

This is one of the most fun, educational games I have ever played (And I play alot of games) but in one of them yu have to organize Bethoven's symphonys, and that is pretty hard. But I would definatly recommend this game.

This review is from: Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? (Video Game)

Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego is the sequel to Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. The object of the game is to travel through time in history and culture past, to capture a stolen artifact and the thief responsible. Like an actual police investigation, you must discover the identity of the thief by interviewing witnesses, informants, and checking your scanner for hidden objects. The clues given help you solve the mystery, retrieve the stolen artifact, and bring the criminal to justice. Cases vary in length of time warranted to catch the thieves. The only annoying things about the game are ambiguous clues given for whereabouts, lack of information about whom you are chasing(i.e. hair color, eye color, etc.), and misinterpreting the clues. My experience is if you miss just one tracking destination, your chances are slim to none on catching the thief. 4/5 for monotony of cases and clues, as well as the aforementioned annoyances. Worth a look.
