Carmen

It's reminiscent of the original Carmen game but the clues get a little tiresome. I realize there's an option to purchase other scenery/countries but it would be nice if it was part of the game's progression. Perhaps purchases could be incorporated some other way as I do realize the app needs to generate income somehow. Enjoyable though! But for how much longer?

Takes me back to my childhood, well done to you, only thing missing is the flag menu as old com 64 game came with a book. Love the game and love how you left it 8bit like the original. Keep up the good work. Next up can you remake old metal gear and old ninja turtles game. Atari and com 64 and 128 I miss

Pretty enjoyable game. Brings back great memories. I'm trying to get my 9 year old to play it so he can improve his knowledge of geography and international relations. Although one improvement can be made. When the printer scrolls in HQ, it never shows the last sentence for me. The last sentence is always just below the printer.

Its a good game. Its one of a kind. Controls are ok. But the last line of every message in the printing part. is unreadable in my LG G4. The characters and pictures needs alot of work. Their blurry. Like it was copied off the old PC game. The GUI too also needs a remake. Much better if you did a digital smartphone feel rather than HD DOS kind. The messages are too redundant and obviouse. Make the witnesses discription more broad and conersational. Overall this is the type of game that alot of people will play with if you just made the graphics a bit better and the dialogues more broad and conversational.

Love the retro feel, and definitely brings me back to my childhood. There is an issue where the bottom line of the "printout" on the faux printer is not shown; it is hidden by the printer graphic itself. I hope they fix that one issue. Otherwise, an awesome game!

A great old school game but this isn't doing it justice. Supposed to be educational but there is spelling mistakes! Clues are not varied and the game cuts short and ends before the time limit for random reasons. Do it right or dont do it at all.

Love how similar this is to the original and got so excited to play this, however if I can't get passed a minute of game time without a pop-up ad restarting the entire game, how can I know if I like it enough to purchase it. Please fix this detrimental bug. Uninstalling and left feeling quite disappointed.

Brings old remembering back. Sadly, there is an advertisement pop up, which interrupts my investigation and leads to a lost round. Seen each 2nd round and it is frustrating

This is way too basic like the 90s game complete with 90s graphics & retro 90s printer (which cuts off before the bottom line). I would enjoy a updated Carmen trying to catch suspects around the world in 2017 but this isn't it. Disappointed

Its easy and fun, but there are a few problems that are annoying after a while. The setup states that you have until Wednesday to catch the criminal, but the game keeos ending by Monday. There are some suspects where the only difference between them is their favourite music, but none of the hints will mention music, so I loose by Monday. Not fair. Also, the typewiter memo never shows the last line of text.

This game brought back memories. I still have my aunts old school black and white mac computer, just for this game. I do like this version, however: 1. Why give a deadline if you do not have until that time? 2. There needs to be a better variety of clues, besides flag colours. 3. In the original if we flew to the wrong country, the people would say that they hadn't seen anyone with that discription and you would fly back and try again. Which is better than this version of just losing the case! Please fix!

Whether re discovering the game as a retrospective and much loved reminder of simpler times, or encountering it for the first time, Carmen is a highly recommended educational aide and also a heap of fun. Travel the world and chase down the criminals, even learn a bit on the way. 4/5 stars. Great game :)

Feel like I'm 9 again! Only problems I have is you can't speed up the screens. You have to watch the damn printer print, and can't read the bottom line of what it prints. Like hurry up, I got crimes to solve!

On higher ranks (ie. Sr det.) you run out of time a lot even if you only do one search per country and do everything right (only one try for warrant). All searches take 1hr so no way to go faster unless you dont search anymore and just guess next country

You might be on the right track, you should change the destinations to cities instead of countries, that's how it was. In the original pc game, it's more involving if you have to know which city in in the country you have clues for

I used to love playing this on the old commodore 64 when I was a kid but it would be good if you can make mistakes. Soon as you pick the wrong country you fail. Can this be fixed? Otherwise great game

You have to find a bunch of thugs. As you progress the job becomes more and more difficult and finally you have to apprehend Carmen Sandiego, the 'choron ki rani'. If you can, you are in the Hall of Fame. Brilliant game. Love playing it. Superb... Only con is the word 'sex', could have been 'Gender', instead.

I had to buy some country packs because it was getting repetitive quickly. I think they should go with the times and have points you can exchange for gameplay enhancements. Make it so as you rank up, you can buy more suspects, locations, etc. Exploit us with a badge/award point system so that people start spending their rent money to fuel their addiction to chasing Carmen. Step three: Profit

This is crap. I am given a deadline which actually means nothing because the suspect always flees the day after I start looking. Oh and I slept for about 12 hours, and wasted the little time I was given.

Bugs in the software stop ur play after 30 secs and doesn't save ur progression. After 30secs of play, pop-up ads flash, close the ad to return to play, the game begins again from the start. I understand there are in-app purchases please allow people to trial the game for a descent period prior to payment.

I should have looked at the screenshots before downloading... I was disappointed that there were no graphics. I would love to see a world map showing the location of the country I'm departing to. Also would like to see the flags visually when reading info on the current country. Did bring back some great memories.

Can't arrest suspects once I have issued a warrent. Then I will give 5 stars....takes me back to my childhood! Never mind I figured it out. You have to figure out which country the suspect fled to if you get it wrong they get away. There should be a breif instruction as how to capture the suspects. Thanx!

I follow the clues and get a warrant and all that but when I get to the correct city, it keeps saying the suspect fled. Also it doesn't even get close to the deadline. It gives me a Tuesday 2am deadline and it will end the search on a Saturday or Sunday. It doesn't give you a chance to play. Im deleting this game.

Awful font; slow, unskippable anims; obscure, outdated and/or US-centred clues.... Could be loads better if updated to use modern tech

The case is always a stolen national treasure, the clues don't vary much and the higher your rank the more repetitive it gets. The fax takes forever and you can't speed it up. Still a fun way to learn geopolitical facts, despite the limited clues.

So nostalgic & gameplay is easy. Just graphics could be better, info on the countries was lacking & I miss Carmen's taunts. Can be improved by adding menu options that lead to Wikipedia links on each country & maybe a match the flag mini-game. When done I will up my rating.

It feels like the old game. Kind of lame that the stolen treasure is almost always identified as a "ancient artifact." Could do with a few more animations. Would be nice if criminals were uniquely animated.

I can only visit intial city, as soon as I try to go somewhere else to track suspect the game starts all over again!! I love this game. So please fix.

When on a higher level you run out of time even if you only choose the first option for questioning and only guess warrant once. Makes it unplayable. Agree with others that choosing wrong country shouldnt make the suspect fled. Old game also had interesting questions to pass to go up a ranking. Information about what the country flag colours is needs to be corrected. Ie. Only having white and red as flag when the flag also includes blue. Otherwise nice blast from the past.

Brings back a lot of memories and is still good fun, but shocking how impatient I've grown. A way to skip past all the animations would be great. Also I completed a mission at 10AM Saturday - not sure why I didn't fail being after the 2AM deadline.

This game brings back my elementary school days. I loved this game when I was a kid and I've been wishing I could play it again and now I can! My only complaint would be that I don't think it's necessary to have pop up ads in between every case. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I actually would have given it 4.5 stars if it was possible.

Play this game alot but unfortunately once you hit senior detective you can barely move forward at all. My fiancé and I tried about ten times now with nothing.

Loved this game as a kid. Still fun now I'm a bigger kid. Do miss the graphics when you travel though. Sound sometimes stops but it has no impact on play. I love how close to the original it is.

I played this game alot many years ago and its awesome to have it on my phone but its missing some components like maps, backtracking, other minor details that keep me from giving a 5 stars.

Love this game so much. You just need to improve the graphics, make the controls and menu better and hope you add more new challenges. :)

Didn't know what to expect but it sneakily grips you for a relatively simple game, recommend giving it a go, if you like sleuth games

A bit tedious. You only get 50+ countries if you buy all the extra country packs which would cost 6 dollars. There are some spelling mistakes - dolars for dollars for example. Fun up to a point but it just goes on and on.

How do you make arrests? I have all of the information but it still won't allow me to arrest the suspect. I'm a little confused and annoyed.

Definitely enjoy playing; reminds me of my childhood; would be nice if the graphics were updated. Miss the little airplane flying around the globe, though. Would be nice to have option to turn sound on/off. Also the ability to enter a user name so multiple users can play without messing up my rank. If country packs are going to be $1 each there definitely should NOT be ads.

I've got the same complaint that most everyone else seems to have. The same kind of clues get monotonous and you should only lose time by travelling to the wrong country, not lose the whole game. These two changes would make the game awesome!!
