We gave this to our dino-loving son for his 5th birthday. The sound on this toy leaves a lot to be desired. Kind of tinny; the narrator speaks with a British-sounding accent that's not the easiest to understand given the sound quality. But the idea behind the toy is great and he does like to play with it. Quality could've been better though. Also, the model we received was not exactly what's shown in the picture. The functions look to be the same, but all in a different place (on the right side vs. the bottom).

This is a great toy. My son loves dinosaurs, and I wasn't sure what to get him for his birthday, and saw this and took a chance. I'm glad I did. He loves, and it's educational. So it's a double bonus for parents!

We've had this game for several years. Boys young and old enjoy the learning buttons and quiz. Quiz is challenging. Boys would have liked more interaction options, but as it is, this game toy is fun and entertaining. They will bring their dino toys out and match them to the game pictures when playing.

Bought this for xmas for my 4 yr old son. He likes the toy but I'm disappointed with the quality. The audio is very old-fashioned, sounds like Max Headroom. Plus every dinosaur makes the same screeching sound, there is no variety to the different species as you would expect. My son actually brought this to my attention. "Mom," he said, "why do the t-rex and the diplodicus have the same voice?" Good question, kiddo. I wouldn't recommend this if your child really loves dinos, they'll spot the problems.

My mother bought this for my 5 year old son who loves dinosaurs. We thought he'd really enjoy it but when he turned it on and heard the creepy haunted house style music and the strange British voice (said with no prejudice as my husband has a British accent, though not a strange one) he turned it right off again and refused to play with it. My husband pushed a few buttons and found the setup to be poor and lacking any creativity. All of the dinos sound the same. Also, the questions are basic as is the information given. There is no room for growth once a kid has played with it a few times and memorized all of the little bit of information it has. Plus, my son already knew much about the types of dinosaurs presented in the game, thanks to the show Dino Dan; which, compared to this game, is a better use of time.

this was purchased for a 5 year old and he loved it..he has learned the names of the dino's and many facts about them. the only issue is that the "voice" is somewhat bizarre and accented so you do have to listen carefully to pick out all the spoken words. a good educational toy

My son got this toy for his birthday when he turned 4. He is almost 5, and loves it more every day! He can sit for a long time and play with this. He knows so many of the facts about the dinosaurs, and quizzes us! He also is learning how to answer true and false questions because of this toy.

Not sure this is sold anymore but I had higher hopes for enjoyment. My son still has his and likes it but pulls it out once in a very blue moon. It's repetitive so over time there is nothing new to learn, obviously but then there's no enjoyment to it. I initially received a defective one and customer service was great, sent me a replacement right away and didn't give me the third degree before sending another. Still price was a bit high for what you are getting.

I wish I would have paid attention to the comment by 4ofakind.I wouldn't buy this again.Or any of the others like I was planning. Each dinosaur roars when you push the picture and every dino roar is exactly the same. The voice is like an old computer voice from 20yrs ago. I can't stand it.The info IS good. And I like that they say how many feet long it is and then say "that's as long as 3 school buses". So the child has something they are familiar with to compare it to. The surface picture is like a big sticker and it wasn't on completely straight.(It was off just enough to bug me)My grandson who is 4 likes it but I wouldn't have bought it if I had been able to try it out.

Bought this for my son when he was 6 years old. He loves it and he really likes to match the names of the dinosaurs with his figures and his big dino book. He is eight now and still enjoys the toy very much. It was very good buy.
