Captures the classic Carmen Sandiego feel while modernizing the gameplay.
Clue-based investigation keeps you thinking and learning about real-world locations.
Simple mechanics make it accessible for kids yet enjoyable for adults.
The combination of story mode and an endless play mode keeps the game fresh.

The game isn't particularly difficult, which may disappoint players looking for depth.
Experience points are required to unlock later levels but don't add much value.
Some clues might require external research, disrupting immersion.
Some story missions are marked "coming soon," making the current offering feel incomplete.

The reimagined classic is well adapted to the new times. Includes the classic mode. Still a game to learn without even realising it.
The graphics are rather poor
the story is unnecessary.

Xbox Tavern
Lots of game modes thrown in to make it interesting
Does a good job of organizing the notes for you
Maybe i missed some things but some clues had me googling real life stuff (likely not figured out in game yet) and I liked that out of game synergy

Very suitable for a young audience
Missions that follow one another quickly without giving the impression of being rushed
A subtly interesting common thread
The transposition of the graphic style of the series into 3D is successful.
Educational without giving the impression of being in school
A good variety of mini-games

Quite redundant and more designed to be nibbled on

Not very immersive game
The lack of dubbing in most of the game is frustrating.
There could be more places to visit.
