Average Rating: Rating: - very educational game not only for kids but for adults alike i have this software about 7 years ago and my nephew was only 8 years old then but he just loved playing the game. he used to play it everytime he comes home from school that he soon got to learn about the different places in the world, learn about world geography:the peoples, cultures & products of the different countries. and most of all, he just loved catching the crooks and really had a fun time with the game. even his mother and my other sister also enjoyed playing the game with him. two years after that however, a virulent virus "killed" my software of carmen sandiego and so my younger nieces didn't get the chance to enjoy it as much as their older brother did. i've been looking for this kind of software ever since but i guess it was not just available here in our country (or maybe it's just very difficult to look for one here). i've found out that it is available at amazon.com and, boy, i'm so glad! Rating: - Software Review for Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego As a teacher, I love to see kids getting an opportunity to play fun educational games on the computer. However, it is difficult to find many edutainment software titles that are age-appropriate for 9 - 12 year olds. Good, learning-focused software for this age group is often competing with the endless world of games - Playstation, X-Box, etc. Programs that will appeal to kids in this age range have to be entertaining and visually sophisticated, as well as provide educational value. "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?" does this and does it quite well. Featuring sophisticated graphics and a compelling storyline, Carmen delivers an energetic mix that combines solid, skill-building activities with an intriguing plot. Carmen offers kids an exceptional method of learning about the world in an educational but entertaining manner. The game will really test their skills as geographers. While trying to hunt down bad guys, they learn about cultures, history, languages, and locations. Because the kids are exposed to geography facts within the framework of adventure, the learning opportunities are fantastic. While kids learn key facts about 50 countries - their geography and history - they also read maps, exercise deductive reasoning, develop reading and research skills, follow directions, and collect data. It is easy to recognize the program exercises their higher-level thinking skills. I found this program reinforces the very skills I am trying to teach - how to get kids to think and apply the higher-level thinking skills. Beware! They learn to think! They have fun! It is the best of both worlds for them and me, and I love it!! Rating: - Great family fun My son and I played this together. He is only six and was able to follow along and when he needed help I was there. It was great to learn about geography without it being a text book. He really enjoyed and didn't want the game to end.
