Carmen Sandiego -- The Secret of the Stolen Drums
This is not your old Carmen Sandiego, the edutainment game which included
some math, geography and other things good for you. First of all, it's on the PS2 and not
the PC. Secondly, it is not educational. This is a well designed, easy to play -- that is the
controls work great -- action adventure game involving tracking the red clothed nemesis
around the world.
ACME agent-in-training, Cole Gannon, defying regulations, is out to prove that he has
the clues to where Carmen's next heist will be. The caper involves a diamond with rare
powers, The map to its location is inscribed on a number of African drums spread
throughout the world.
Two senior agents -- Jules Argent and Shadow Hawkins interrupt the action with useful
information about the locations he visits and new information as to Carmen's
whereabouts. This is the only educational content in the game and you can ignore it.
