5.0 out of 5 stars Dinosaur Fun, September 14, 2009

This is a wonderful game for your budding paleontologist. You learn about different dinosuars eating habbits, match up pieces of a skeleton or a portion of a picture with a picture of the full scale dinosaur, run through mazes, and protect your nest from predators. Once you read 100 points from the aforementioned games you get to dig for fossils. When a skeleton is complete the game plays a video that give you the facts about the dinosaur and an animation of what things may have been like. My 5 yr old son played this game for 2 hours non-stop when we were stuck in a traffic jam and still loves to play it. His 19 month old sister always watches over his shoulder as he play and she can now tell you words like omnivore and herbavor and properly acts out with her toys what the words mean. I think this was a wonderful investment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Seemingly good game brought down by control pad issues, November 25, 2009

This game--like many a Leapster game--is pretty good, but when you get to the dinosaur maze, there are control-pad issues that you and your children will struggle with, such that it becomes a bear to navigate. Essentially, the dinosaur goes left and right just fine, but when you want it to go up or down, you need crackerjack timing and surgical precision. My children don't play this one very much due solely to that issue. Too bad. Seemed like a good game.
