Editorial Review:
Travel to 51 U.S.A. cities and learn interesting facts about each state's geography, history, and people. To solve cases or gather information for school assignments, a rich electronic database is included, featuring narrated video clips, regional music, maps, and comprehensive essays.
The villains of VILE are on the loose, led by that superspy turned master thief, Carmen Sandiego. Her henchmen are pulling heists in all 50 states, taking national treasures most crooks wouldn't dare tackle. The ACME Detective Agency needs you. Your assignment is to catch the culprits and return the stolen goods. So when you think you've got the goods on the bad guys, submit your evidence, make the collar, and go to court. But beware: your evidence must be airtight or your suspect will go free. With this version of Carmen Sandiego, you can expand your knowledge of U.S. geography, develop vocabulary and deductive-reasoning skills, and practice map reading. (Ages 9 and older)

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - More storylines needed
I love the Carmen games, but this one got boring after I'd beaten it once because it's got only one storyline. Trying to click on people and items was tedious and it made me long for the classic text-based version. I would have given it two stars, but it gets three because of Lynne Thigpen, Carmen Sandiego's between-cases cameos, the awesome state-a-base and the seven ACME Good Guides. Kids and adults will learn a lot from this game...more info here than in any previous Carmen USA games.

Rating:  - A true computer classic!
I could play this game when I was five years old, and I still play it now! You go from state to state talking to witnesses and gathering information about the next state Carmen went. As you go along, you learn things about each state. This game is fun, and challenging, but not too challenging. I don't know why the guy that wrote the bad review couldn't beat it? I could beat the first few levels when I was five??
Rating: - Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego
My son has played it for several hours since it arrived yesterday. He is learning about US geography and improving his vocabulary. He has asked me lots of questions, so it is also something that can be done interactively between parents and kids. Overall, a great product.
Rating:  - I HATE THIS GAME!!!!
THIS GAME IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!! You gather clues as to who did the crime, and you make an educated guess. My brother and I have NEVER "arrested" the right person, and they match up to every single clue!!! We even got my dad to help us and he couldn't do it either!! DON'T BUY THIS GAME, IT'S HARD!!!
Rating: - This is a cool game.
This is a cool game. I had a tough time trying to beat it but I finally figured out how to catch Carmen Sandiago in the game. Here's how you catch her. Issue the warrant for the way she usually looks: Female, brown hair, tall, thin and wearing a hat. In Washington D.C click on the woman who is wearing an apron and then click "Stop theif! Your're under arrest!" If you issued the warant like I said you will beat the game and catch Carmen.
