Summary: Educational and Fun for the Dinosaur Lover!
Review: My 4 year old daughter has so much fun with this program. Some of the games are a bit challenging for her, but she'll grow into them. She really loves the dinosaur 3-D movies and learning all about the different species. She can name and describe just about any dinosaur because of this program! She can also name the three prehistoric periods--and she's just barely 4! It's a lot of fun and very interactive.

Summary: My 4 year old plays this non-stop.
Review: My 4 year old daughter plays this non stop. She was a bit scared at the intro, but it quickly because her favorite game. She likes it better than the reader rabbit stuff.As a CS person, I expected 3-D to mean 3-D interactive. Not poor quality pre-rendered movies. But my kid loves it, and that is what counts.

Summary: A must have for ANY dinoboy/girl
Review: My 4 year old son and 6 year old daughter have played this game over and over and over and over and... It is my sons favorite computer game.
He started playing this when he was 3, with a little parental help, but can now go at it alone.
A earthquake has causes all the eggs on dino island to get lost.
You need to help Rolf find all the eggs. Oh, there's a small problem, a T-Rex is on the loose too, and Rolf needs to hatch these dino eggs so the babies can help him defeat the T-Rex.
Travel around the island to the different periods, Triassic, Cretaceous, Jurassic, and help him complete puzzles and games to earn hatching crystals. Keep your eyes open for hidden eggs along the way. Answer questions to reveal the eggs.
When you find and hatch all the eggs, you can then beat the T-Rex!
Games include Connect-A-Cave (logic puzzle), Bone Builder (build a dinosaur out of bones), and Scrambled Eggs (matching), and more.
The game automatically levels up for each individual puzzle as the child progresses. You can also easily decrease or increase the level of play manually, allowing ages 3-8 to play.
Click on dinosaur and other items to learn important facts that help you learn and progress in the game.
The game is non-violent. The T-Rex pops up and growls every now and then, but that's the extent anything "scary." There is NO BLOOD SHED.
I can not go on enough about how great this game is. It is educational and fun! A definite must for your dinosaur fan! Of all the computer games we have, this one get the most use, and was clearly the best buy!

Summary: Stunning graphics and very stimulating for your minds!
Review: My 4 year old son loves this software. The graphics are stunning, the material about dinosaurs is terrific and the progression of levels and different games, makes this software a must have for any youngster. This software requires thinking, yet it is not too difficult to master which is imperative for 4 year olds with little tolerance for frustration. The developer of this software spent a lot of time coordinating the activities together with the "learning vignettes". This is well worth your money and would make a terrific birthday or holiday gift. Highly recommended.

Summary: nothing else compares to this game
Review: MY 4 YR OLD SON LOVES THIS GAME!... I bought it a year ago, and he has had so much fun. We've tried many other dino-related games & sites...but none compare to this game. It's different every time he plays it. He can easily play it by himself. It's exciting, educational, challenging and fun. This game is a real find!

Summary: Excellent and educational!
Review: My 5 1/2 yr old daughter received this as a gift 2 1/2 yrs ago and she still enjoys playing it. There are different levels for each game to make it harder or easier to play and she learns a lot from it as well. She loves dinosaurs and now knows many of the scientific names of the different dinosaurs and can pronounce them correctly from listening to the game. It also gives facts about each dinosaur and she remembers them! I highly recommend this game...

Summary: Excellent fun for 6-8 year olds
Review: My 6 and 8 year old daughters love this CD-ROM. I like it too. The pictures are beautiful and it's easy to figure out how to play the games. My 5 year old finds it a little hard to collect the eggs that are the point of the game overall, but she still likes to play it.

Summary: Good, but not great.
Review: My child loves to play with this program, and therein lies the problem. Though at 5 she is at the minimum age for the software, I cannot help but feel that the program could go a bit deeper than the sound-bite descriptions to perhaps a more conceptual level, such as introducing basic notions of evolution or even geologic time. Is this too ambitious? Perhaps, but the way the program works, it is just like entering a cartoon and, as a learning experinece, little better than watching TV.

Summary: Needs upgraded system requirements
Review: My daughter has played this game and loved it for 2 years now. Yes, once everything is figured out, it can get boring for older kids...but there are great graphics, videos, and games. My 5 year old is still challenged at the higher skill level games. Our only complaint is that the newer computers (ME, 2000 etc) are too fast for the program. The audio skips often which can be annoying when you are listening for a clue. I hope they will upgrade this program. If you have a newer system...be mindful that this game will have some problems.

Summary: Great Game
Review: My kids (ages 5 & 2 1/2)just love this game. We have over 40 kid CD Roms, and this is by far the most popular. I even love it and I'm 33. There are activities for older kids, but best of all there are two activites my 2 1/2 can do by himself (bone builder is his favorite). This is a new version, the older version I would only give two stars. Well worth the money.
