User Reviews about Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?
This is a great, educational game that I played as a child and recently repurchased. It's starting to show its age in the graphics department, but that does not by any means diminish its fun and playability. It's also a really nostalgic game to play if you remember the television series of the same name. A lot of the characters from that series, including the chief, are in the game.
There are about eighteen levels set in different time periods and places, including ancient Egypt, Kublai Khan's China, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and Russia in the space race years. In each level, you meet and interact with famous historical figures who have been kept from doing something pivotal in history by one of Carmen Sandiego's VILE agents. You play an ACME agent sent back in time to capture these criminals and must piece together clues Carmen left behind to find out where they are hiding (the clues always have some historical significance).
It is surprising how much this game taught me about history when I was a kid, and how much it stayed with me. I am a lot more knowledgeable about history now than I would have been had I never played this game. It teaches you a lot of great things about history while still being enjoyable. -- Great Game
I loved this game growing up and got an itch to play it. So I bought it and it was so much fun, my game came in perfect condition! -- I Caught Carmen!!!
I LOVED this game as a child and have wanted to buy it again for a very long time... I probably had it 10 years ago, so am just wondering if this game is compatible with Windows Vista?? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! -- QUESTION
This is a great game! It's a fun way to learn history and the jokes are great whether you're a parent or a kid. We owned this game a long time ago and had lost it, and bought this copy because we'd liked it. It's even better and funnier than we'd remembered it! -- Great game!
I thought that it would be a weird game when my cousin gave it to me but I ended up loving this game and playing it over and over again.It was so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Awesome
