- Fun Learning, Aging Graphics
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.
Rating:
- Carmen Again
Purchased for grandchildren.Genre typical of Broderbund and Carmen products.It appears to hold their interest and is a different approach to other boring language programs.

- The kids love it!
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.
Rating:
- Doesn't work on Mac OS X
I haven't been able to try it yet, since it doesn't work on Mac OS X.Will have to try it on PC XP system and see how it is.It claims to be Mac compatible, but it isn't.

- Another Classic
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!
