Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego
This game takes a while to load, the first time, but once you get past that it will load quickly every time. At the start of the game you are given the choice to play in either English or Japanese. If you choose English and it starts showing you Japanese, don't freak out. The game should be in English once you make it past the intro. The main point of this game is to track down different suspects who steal historical world monuments, icons and art. This game actually provides quite a bit of knowledge of different geographical locations. Unfortunately, some of the information is a little outdated, but that is to be expected in an older game. Many people may actually remember playing this game as a child because there was a period of time when schools actually used this game as fun educational game students could play as a reward for good behavior. For those of you who love mystery and suspense, you will probably find this game to be both fun and disappointing. It is fun to track down the thieves using clues you are given, but there is not much depth to the cases you get to solve.
Graphics: 8/10 The overall graphics are quite good for an older game. The pictures of different locations around the world are very impressive for the time in which the game was built. The rest of the graphics are quite similar to what you would find in other games, but the simplicity is rather charming. The graphics also include small animations which were not actually offered in every game from this system. Occasionally, the screen will flash into blue and then phase back out into the regular colors, but it does not detract from the game play at all.
Sound: 6/10 The sounds in this game are rather short lived.. It has some great sound effects for flying or catching the criminals, but the rest of the game does not have very much sound to go with... Read the rest of this Review
