Introduce
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? on the SNES is a geography-based adventure game. Players take on the role of ACME detectives tasked with apprehending Carmen Sandiego and her V.I.L.E. gang. Each case begins with a theft, and players must gather clues to pinpoint Carmen's location.
Gameplay primarily revolves around solving puzzles and multiple-choice questions. These questions relate to geography, history, culture, and other information about countries and cities around the world. The more questions answered correctly, the more the player narrows down Carmen's search area.
The game uses a simple, intuitive interface. Players navigate a world map, selecting locations to investigate. Upon reaching a location, they will encounter various characters, gather clues, and answer questions. Some questions may require players to deduce and combine information they've already collected.
Beyond answering questions, players must also use deductive skills to find hidden clues. For example, a clue might be a picture with some details obscured, and the player must figure out that detail to determine Carmen's location.
Finally, once enough clues have been gathered and Carmen's location identified, the player will confront her in a small minigame or a final question. If the player answers correctly, they apprehend Carmen and complete the case. If not, Carmen escapes, and the player must start over.
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? on the SNES is a fun and educational game that combines puzzle-solving, geography learning, and light action elements. It's a great choice for those who enjoy adventure games and want to expand their knowledge of the world.
