Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

Remember this game show as a kid?! I loved it. Here's the rarely seen board game version of this uber popular PC game and TV show


4/10 Rating
I really wanted to like this game. I loved the show and the PC game as a kid. This game pretty much sucks though. The only fun part is the trivia questions. We resulted to just reading the trivia questions ala Trivia Pursuit. I give them "E" for effort but I think the theme of the game needs to tie in more heavily to the geography/trivia part. Its not a whole lot of fun when all your doing is chasing other opponents and trying to land on their space to steal their clue. The game simply needs more substance to qualify as a board game to me.
