Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums

"If you’re out for an engaging adventure chock full of personality, action and light stealth elements, then head toward Beyond Good & Evil. If you want a history lesson, then crack open a book. The Secret of the Stolen Drums warrants a rental if you’ve played and finished Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, Super Mario Sunshine, Beyond Good & Evil, Jak II and other such platformers. It may also entertain the kiddies for awhile. Otherwise, simply rent it if you’re curious."

"For an educational title, Carmen Sandiego plays surprisingly well. The controls are very responsive, and the platforming, fighting and sneaking all work pretty nicely."

"Don't go into The Secret of the Stolen Drums thinking you're going to get an educational game or an enjoyable platformer, as you'll find neither here."
