From the Manufacturer
The last descendant of an African King reveals an ancient secret with his dying words: Deep in the jungles of Rwanda lies a hidden temple containing a great diamond which possesses the knowledge of all nations. The map to the temple has been etched onto the skins of eight drums scattered throughout the world. All eight drums must be re-united to open the temple. But beware, the drums are protected by mysterious powers, and legend has it that elemental spirits guard the treasure!

Meanwhile, priceless African antiquities are turning up missing from museums all over the world. Missing or stolen? The M.O. looks hauntingly familiar… The A.C.M.E. team recognizes Carmen Sandiego’s infamous signature.

Now, join A.C.M.E. agent-in-training, Cole Gannon, along with Jules Argent and Shadow Hawkins, in an all-new action-adventure on the trail of Carmen Sandiego, the world’s greatest thief. This case will take Cole around the world; from a museum in New York, to the beaches of New Zealand, to the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu, and that’s just the beginning. While on the case, Cole will have to use acrobatics, stealth, martial arts, and most of all, his wit, to stop Carmen from unearthing the drums and making off with the lost treasure!

Customer Reviews

Flop for Carmen Sandiego
I loved Carmen Sandiego when I was little. I would play those computer games over and over, I even watched the show. But Carmen has always had this educational aura around it, and when they made it into this adventure game, it lost that aura and became a kind of low class adventure game. They tried to make it educational by telling you about the exotic location your pummeling bad guys in, but it's one of those push-buttons-until-that-stupid-window-disappears kinda thing. Still, I couldn't give it one star just for the chance to see that elegant, uncatchable, mistress of crime once again.

Great for kids
My 7 year old loved this game. It was a perfect balance of action and problem solving. He learned about some new places and enjoyed the variety of game play. It's not for the serious teen/adult gamer as they will find it too easy to complete and the graphics are a little behind the latest generation games. At a price of under $20 it is definately worth it.

Too Easy!!
I pre-ordered this game thinking that it may not be just a kids' game. I was wrong. I beat it in like 3 or 4 hours. The objectives are just too simple, and the bosses are a joke. I only recommend it for kids under 12.
