This review is from: Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego? (JC) (CD-ROM)

It does not work in Windows XP or above. Even when changing the settings to Windows 98 or 95 compatibility mode is does not help. Actually the game will run, but will freeze at completely random spots. We've got 30 some copies of this game in our computer lab at the school I work at and we can't use them. It used to be a favorite of almost every 4th and 5th grader in the building. Anymore, the kids the that know about the game don't even try. It just doesn't work anymore. Bummer. The kids loved it, fantastic educational game, easy to learn, overall a challage to play... and we can't use it.

I love this game !! It helped me learn some facts about the US. I solved 30 cases on it and Im still not tired of it. It is a SUPER COOL GAME. YOU SHOULD BUY IT !! And even adults could play and have fun. My dad tested this game and he found something he didnt know.All I have to say is Carman Sandiego games rule. I have this one, the time traveling one, and me and my friend are sharing the world one.
