Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

This program is good, but to use it we had to download a quicktime patch to make it work. Did not work at first. Our son, age 9, says it is really good, teaches many things, and "the KnowBots are cool. You try to tag them, like in a video game, and answers questions about math, language arts, music, and others." There is one called crime scene, which displays "vile agents" that are trying to look innocent and the player answers questions about the scene after it is shown. Points for correct answers eventually allow player to catch the agents. He recommends it to ages 8-12.
We had this game before and it worked just fine until the disk got damaged. We ordered this replacement and it wouldn't even install right. Contacted the company and they were useless. Managed to get it installed and then tried to start the game and we get a blank error message every time - how do you fix that??? VERY frustrating. What a waste of money! We were unable to return it because we live overseas. We have had similar trouble with other Carmen Sandiego games. Never again.
I've played this game alot with my younger siblings. The cases you have to solve are still hilariously absurd, the villains just as crazy (though there aren't nearly as many of them), and the "Know-Bot" robots are a hoot. I especially liked how you could customize it with your own questions...makes for a good study aid for the kids. It is not friendly with Windows 7, but it will work on Windows Vista. You just might have to install it using the Program Compatibility function that comes as a part of Vista.
apparently the company has no updated versions, since they really wanted kids to pay for continual on-line access. This is no reflection on shipper. Shipper was perfect.
I bought this for my grandson because my kids played with it when they were teenagers. All the Carmen San Diego games were great (fun and educational) Sadly, that's the problem. The games are an older version and I could not make it install on my computer.
boys love this pc game. you go around in missions to find or guess certain things the game asks you to do or find. great mystery learning Carmen Sandiego Think Quick Challenge - PC/Mac game
no my computor work would not except the game and I'm afraid to order another game because my grandchild is a Special Needs Child and I can't disappoint him again. All of his other Carmen Sandiego games work find one didn't. Maybe you can tell us why? Our original one has worn out and I got that one from Amazon
like all other Carmen Sandiego games this one as well is excellent and very educational and the greatest thing is your children rise to Carmen's challages and do not relize they are learning
