A portion of an Aussie-Nintendo review...

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego could have been something great. Sure, not being based on the original game isn’t a problem, but when the game you’re bringing over isn’t up to scratch, then it becomes a major issue. The puzzles are stupid, the characters aren’t interesting, the story isn’t memorable, and the audio and visual elements are just average at best. Overall, a huge disappointment, and if you’re after a DS adventure title that might teach you a thing or two, your best bet is elsewhere.
