After a successful run on personal computers, elusive thief Carmen Sandiego sneaks her way onto PS2 in an international adventure spanning five continents. While previous games in the educational series featured a point-and-click interface as players pieced together clues to Sandiego's whereabouts, The Secret of the Stolen Drums is a more action-oriented title.
Cole Gannon, a rookie in the ACME detective agency finds a set of GPS coordinates on the agency's computer server, which leads him to a museum in New York. The GPS coordinates involve a case dealing with the infamous thief Carmen Sandiego, who Cole wants to capture despite being still just in training. It seems Carmen wants to put back together a set of stolen tribal drums that will unleash an unspeakable power.
There are two other ACME operatives, Jules and Shadow, who are working on the case in Siberia at the moment so they can only help Cole with advice through email messages.
To help catch the ringleader and her V.I.L.E. (Villains' International League of Evil) henchmen, players must use an assortment of spy gadgets and a series of acrobatic moves to avoid detection and to apprehend their intended targets. As special agent Cole Gannon, players can switch between a stealth walk, crouched walk, and a tightrope walk as well as perform diving rolls or the act of shimmying across ledges. A total of nine cities will familiarize players with certain elements of geography as the hunt for Carmen Sandiego begins anew.

Travel to nine locations around the world as Cole Gannon as he tracks the world's most infamous thief
Use a variety of ACME gadgets to help you sneak past Carmen's security devices and battle her robots
