Another ClassicJan 14, 2008

This is yet another classic by the Carmen Sandiego line. This was the best of them all, and your kids will not stop playing it! It is more educational that I first expected, and has everything from grammar to spelling.
A good buy for your money. Sorry, a great buy for your money!

 Fun Learning, Aging GraphicsApr 25, 2009
By Becky
Carmen Sandiego Word Detective is a fun game for my 1st Grader. It has a fun 'techy' interface that is appealing while still having fun graphics and an adventuresome plot.
It did not install on my Windows Vista machine, but unlike another reviewer, it installed just fine on my Windows XP home machine.
Fun for the kids, fun for the adults to engage them in reading.

The kids love it!Apr 01, 2009
By Mom on duty 2 4
What more can I say? My kids (7yr old boy) and (9yr old girl) love it and I'm happy they're busy learning while being entertained.

Basically, I never found this interesting, while I very much enjoyed other Carmen Sandiego games. The challenges were like nothing I'd learned in English classes, and villains popping up with the scary music pressured me (and not in a good way). There was no reason for me to play it more than once or twice. However, a family friend's son, Issac, found it entertaining when he was about twelve and played it non-stop while his family was over. I didn't see much of it, but I noticed a mad scientist-type villain that looked like a vampire. The scary music with him creeping up and then laughing manically could have given me nightmares. Only buy it if you have an American education and work well under pressure.
