Summary: GREAT for pre-scoolers
Review: I got this game for my 4 year old son. He has not stopped playing it for weeks! I also have a 5 1/2 year old daugther in kidergarten who just loves the games. They could both use the software with no directions from us. It has good games, very good sound effects, and best of all: it gives quick, one sentence educational information about the dinosaurs - perfect for their short attention span.

Summary: Motivates and Teaches
Review: I wanted to give this program 5 stars because my four-year-old girl loves playing the games like "connect-a-cave" and "bone builder" over and over again. She often plays the different acitivities even after there are no more "crystal" rewards because she enjoys them so much. She also loves clicking on the various dinosaurs to see their video clips and hear more about them. The game is motivational. However, I had to give it 4 stars because it was too difficult to initially figure out how to find an egg. Nine eggs must be found and hatched to win the game. I like to assist when she gets stuck in games, but with Dinosaur 3-D I had to "take the mouse" for a few minutes to figure out how to find the eggs. Other than that problem it is truly motivational learning about dinosaurs and extinction.

Summary: FANTASTIC FOR KIDS!
Review: If your child(ren) like(s) dinosaurs this is a MUST! My 5 and 2 1/2 year olds love it! My five year old can name all the dinosaurs on the CD. He can sit for hours (if I let him) and do nothing but the CD. It is really great..and teaches many skills unknowingly to the children. It teaches listening, problem solving and much more. All the while making it very fun for your children.

Summary: Kids love dinosaurs? Buy them this!
Review: If your kids love dinosaurs, like my 5 year old does, get them this game! It is so wonderful, I bought it because we owned the earlier version of it. I was disappointed to not find that same version but after reading the reviews, decided to give the new one a try. I will never regret it, my boy has been playing it since it arrived! It is so cute and interactive, with many games to play, it's not easy to get tired of it. When my kids were taking their bath, I even snuck in and played the "cave maze"! It's a definite winner!

Summary: T-REXCELLENT!!! A must have!
Review: My 2.5 year old knows his dinosaurs and I owe it all to Dinosaur Adventure 3-D. It's very educational as well as fun. I was amazed at how many different places you could visit on Paleo Island. Bone builder is by far my son's favorite. Not only does it allow him to build dinosaur bones from scratch, it also builds his self esteem as he is challenged to do so by racing against the clock. This is great software and I would and do recommend it to everyone.

Summary: Constructive criticism
Review: My 3 1/2 year old loves this game. She has been on it for hours a day (no tv!). The graphics and sounds are great. There are games, movie clips, or educational tidbits everywhere. Even I am learning all about the many dinosaurs. My daughter enjoys moving around the landscapes and watching clips as much as actually playing the games. A 4 year old familiar with a mouse can accomplish most all the games on level 1. The work book is a great idea! JC can color or work puzzles thereby allowing ME to use my computer!For the critique, though, my 3 year old says there should be more than 1 way to beat the T Rex. I agree. So much effort was put into this program. It seems anticlimatic since there is only 1 ending. Maybe next version! Hint Hint!

Summary: THE BEST OF THE BEST

Summary: Great Game
Review: My 3 yr old son & 5 yr old daughter both love this game. This is one of the few games they have had that the 3 yr old can use completely on his own (I have to start up the computer & he can take it from there). They love it so much that I have had to put serious restrictions on the amount of time they spend with it- they could stay at it all day! It is filled with all sorts of learning opertunities (my son told me all about diplodicus on the way to pre-school this morning!) Each child can play their own session, and there are 3 levels of difficulty on the activities, so the game can be fun & challenging for a variety of skill levels. This is a great game for any kid interested in dinosaurs!

Summary: Good Kids Game - BUT DOES NOT WORK ON WINDOWS XP
Review: My 4 year old daughter has been playing this game constantly for over a year now. It really surprises me that she can play it again and again, but she does, and loves it. It has some fun games for her and is somewhat educational. Unfortunately, I just bought a new PC with Windows XP, loaded it, and it does NOT run at all. I called their technical support and they said they have NEVER put out a patch for this game, and it does not work on XP, and they are no longer supporting it because it is so old. I tried it on different compatibility modes and couldn't get it to work.
