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.

Both my just turned 3 year old and his older 6 year old brother love this software. They have learned so much about dinosaurs and the games have been great for developing logical thinking skills. I thought I was buying a game, but I got an educational tool that my kids LOVE!

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!

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.

The kids adored this program, they played it over and over and have not tired of it yet. The kids have enjoyed finding the eggs and the excitement of hatching the eggs and trying to guess which one they have found. The games included are suited to a wide age range with games the three year old can accomplish without adult help to games that challenge an adult. The games come in a variety with puzzle games, an arcade type and build a dinosaur skeleton. The 3d world is well done and fun to move around in. Especially flying between the three sections of the world. The children enjoyed the short dinosaur movies. The only fault is that some of the dinosaur information seems a little out of date. This is a game I would recommend to anyone looking for a quality game that the children of all ages will enjoy and learn from.

My son is only 2, and yet he can play some of the games included in this package, such as the bone-builder. He can't play many of the games yet, which require more skill. Yet, this is one of his favorite computer games, because of the excellent graphics, educational content and the user-friendly interface. Clicking on an animal on the background, brings up a small video-clip with narration, describing the specific animal.

I am constantly looking for quality software for a 3 year old and this is AMAZING! My son can play almost every game on level one and when his 6 year old cousin comes to vist he plays the games on level 3. We love to play the games, collect the crystals and hatch the eggs ... we take turns guessing what kind of baby dino we are going to hatch! There is even a cinima section where your child can just click on pics of Dinosaurs and hear info on them. As if all of this were not enough it revolves around a volcano that erupts lava ... we all know any true dino game should include a volcano!!! One more plus is that a 3 year old can play this with littel or no help from a parent ... I use it when making dinner. I am unable to do this with any of the big name pre-school software. I am so pleased with this purchase! Buy this ... you will love it!

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!

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.

We bought this game for our 4-year old boy to give him a plain old "fun" game for his PC. He has 3 other games that are purely educational (yet fun) - Jump Start Spanish, Reader Rabbit Phonics, and Blue's Clues 1-2-3 - so we thought he should have some old-fashioned fun.

This game is much more educational than we anticipated. Although it is chock-full-of-games, we have been impressed with the level of detail in the artwork, and the fact that our son is able to rattle off the names of several dinosaurs, AND tell you whether they eat meat, plants, etc.

The underlying story behind the games (collect dinosaur eggs to save the island from T-Rex) is pretty weak, but the games and the educational value of the game are very strong.

Our son thinks the game is great. It is definitely his favorite - he asks to play all the time. Something about dinosaurs that just gets kids going, I guess.
