Carmen Sandiego Junior Detective Review

Carmen Sandiego Junior Detective

I know, being a Carmen Sandiego fan, I have beaten all the other Carmen games and still sought to find the Junior Detective. Well, my actions can mean a few things, such as that I'm a die-hard Carmen-game freak, and that Carmen games are really, really good and fun to play. These are both correct, the reason being that even the most junior of Carmen games, with it's super-spy theme, is more fun than regular kid-friendly games geared toward older gamers. True, Carmen Sandiego Junior Detective is for younger gamers, but also true is the fact that it's not one bit less fun because of that reason alone. In a much miniature version of Carmen Sandiego World Detective, Carmen has again stolen a bunch of the world's monuments and it's up to the "junior detective" to travel to different countries, run their magnifying glass over mysterious objects where the crook is rumored to have passed by, and gather clues and evidence, thus nabbing their crook.
The best part of the whole game is you still "travel" to some unique and different countries such as Peru and Saudi Arabia, and you also learn tons of helpful geography facts and hear the native music of the country you're in when you "travel" there. Not to mention that a kids game like this one with the words EDUCATIONAL pasted up and down the box is actually fun; there's the real benefit. Overall, Carmen Sandiego Junior Detective is fun, enjoyable, cute, and educational; here's a game you can't go wrong with!

Where in the USA is Carmen SanDiego? V3.53 Review

This game doesn't even work! It has a pretty interesting beginning for the intro but after the short movie beginning thing, the part with sme telephone thing pops up and you can't do anything with it. If you're gonna buy this, buy the jewel case one because that one had alot of great reviews and I think we bought the wrong one. I work SO hard for $10.00 so that I could buy this and all it was was a rip-off. My teacher has the newer version of this game (which we thought we were buying) and it is SO fun! That's actually how I found out how bad I wanted the game. I was working around the house alot so that I could earn $3.00 because the game was 10 bucks and I already had 7. Then I finally got it and we ordered it about two days ago and it already got here. I was so excited and I just tried to play it and it sucks... please. If you're gonna buy this game, you might want to check what year first and see which is the newer one.

DK My First Amazing World Explorer 2.1 Review

My girls ages 4, 7, & 9 all loved this game. I bought it at the beginning of summer vacation last year. They played it all summer long and still love it.
For my younger two it was a great way to introduce world geography. The central feature to the game is an interactive world map. When you click on icons on the map they do something silly & memorable. For example the Eiffle tower in France dances to the Can-Can. After the silly graphic, a pop-up screen gives factual information or a short video about that place or animal that lives there. My younger two explored the map until they were proficient in finding all their favorite icons. Next they played the main game which is like a big scavenger hunt. You are given clues and have to find the place & icon on the map. The CD also features smaller games that teach various map skills.
For my oldest it was a fun review and reinforcement of her geography skills. She especially liked the postcard feature. At numerous places on the map my children found "postcards". They could address them to each other and type in a short message. The postcards could be sent to anyone on that computer who plays the game. For them it was like email without the internet. Also a great way to practice typing for my oldest.
**We installed & used the game on Windows Vista without any problems.

JumpStart Explorers Review

This is one of the best educational software programs I have ever seen. The graphics, interface design and games are fantastic. My daughter is fascinated with history and she loves exploring the different places and times around the world. I love the fact that kids can earn crafts to do offline. The crafts are related to the historical time period and they are very simple and easy to make with minimal supplies. The directions are short and simple and they provide all needed templates, outlines, etc. For example, you can make an Incan headress with just paper, and a pilgrims vest out of a paper bag. You can also earn stickers to print and put on your own wall map or print the one they provide. This is just a superb program and one your child is sure to enjoy!
