It was either that or DO IT ROCKAPELLA for the description, and yet for some reason they NEVER used the Game show theme song in any of their games....except in the Where in Time PC game....did Altman and...no wait the same two people that composed the World game show theme song also did the Time Game show theme song they could not have been itching that badly..you know what there is no excuse for them to not have included the World theme song in the world games, but I guess by the time the Time game show tie-in game was released Sean Altman had left Rockapella, now enough about my griping, I should review this game



Gameplay and Story: Well if you've played the game on any format it's exactly the same (unless you've played the Google Earth game which was based on the netflix series that just launched it's final season yesterday) you have to catch a bunch of thieves that could potentially lead you to Carmen Sandiego. But I don't have the patience or the time to memorize any save passwords

Graphics: The graphics aren't anything special considering this was probably made before they put out any of the traditional PC games (which is why Interpol is chasing Carmen instead of ACME) the photographs are digitized, and all we get are visual profiles not portraits.

Sound: Well there's no real soundtrack to this game sadly, (if you want a good soundtrack in any of the games you are better off playing the PC games, their soundtrack is spectacular here is my youtube playlist for some reason they sound way better in full rather than small snippets or rearranged around

Addictive: Hey it's Carmen Sandiego what couldn't be more addictive about it, and when you think about it most educational games are addictive


Depth: This game has places that weren't in most of the other games, the USA game included all 50 states (plus Washington DC) But I guess there is so many places in the world they can't use them all, oh well, at least it gets easy to figure out how the controls work. But like I said I don't have the patience or time to try and catch Carmen in this game

Difficulty: Depends on how much you've played it, I played my first Carmen Sandiego game 22 years ago this month, to be exact it was the same day we brought computer speakers for our internet-less Windows 95, so yeah I had to figure out where the crook went WITHOUT THE USE OF GOOGLE and after awhile I realized we had to put in a warrant at the same time, that's why I didn't completely master it til March of that year. I caught Carmen a week before Spring Break.

Overall: The Carmen Sandiego fandom is the only fandom I'll ever really be a part of, I'm well aware that some people don't like what the Netflix series has done, but there is a such a thing as a multiverse, and yet for some reason it completely collided in the Netflix show. Despite how good the netflix show was, I will still prefer the PBS game shows (world, I could go on and on about how Time let me down, but I have other things to do today, maybe in a separate thread on day) But I'm going to be completely honest, I prefer the PC games than the Console games, it just doesn't feel right, I'd rather be clicking a mouse rather than have the console in my hand doing this.

I'm giving it a 6
