Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums, Sony Playstation

Despite being unfamiliar to many of us, particularly PlayStation-generation gamers, Carmen Sandiego has made his presence felt across several 8 and 16-bit platforms. He's appeared on Master System, NES and MegaDrive to name just a few, and although he's been out of the picture for some years now, he's making a return on PlayStation 2 in The Secret of the Stolen Drums. Deep in the jungles of Rwanda lies a hidden temple containing a great diamond that possesses the knowledge of all nations. The map to the temple has been etched onto the skins of eight drums, scattered throughout the world. But beware, the drums are protected by mysterious powers, and legend has it that elemental spirits guard the treasure. And that's Carmen Sandiego's goal - to retrieve all pieces of the map and steal the jewel. But where there's a villain, there's an unwitting hero in the making. And in this instance, our protagonist is ACME agent-in-training, Cole Gannon. Accompanied by loyal friends Jules Argent and Shadow Hawkins, players must embark on an adventure to capture the world-renowned thief in a massive and long-overdue third-person epic adventure. The adventure will take our hero across several vibrant, fully 3D locations that include a museum in New York, the beaches of New Zealand and Inca ruins. Stealth and combat are the focus for gameplay, and as Cole, you'll have to make good use of acrobatics, martial arts and your wits to stop Carmen Sandiego from unearthing the lost drums and making off with the treasure.
