I pre-ordered this game thinking that it may not be just a kids' game. I was wrong. I beat it in like 3 or 4 hours. The objectives are just too simple, and the bosses are a joke. I only recommend it for kids under 12.

My 7 year old loved this game. It was a perfect balance of action and problem solving. He learned about some new places and enjoyed the variety of game play. It's not for the serious teen/adult gamer as they will find it too easy to complete and the graphics are a little behind the latest generation games. At a price of under $20 it is definately worth it.
Yeah, it sounds stupid to review before it comes out, but really, Carmen Sandeigo is going to be a cool game. I've always used the computer games as my "educational television with out watching television" so a more advanced version would be cool. So yeah. 8)
