Dinosaur fans will delight in the 50 different species in this virtual museum. Yes, you can find Velociraptor and T-rex here, but you can also find obscurities like the thick-skulled Pachycephalosaurus and the horse-sized vegetarian Psittacosaurus. Each dinosaur display comes with an extremely handy audio pronunciation key, well-rendered illustrations, and handfuls of facts. Explorers move through the museum by clicking the cursor after it transforms into a directional arrow; folks who like to see the big picture can install a "you are here" map so they won't get lost.
Dedicated dinophiles should visit the Excavation Site and rebuild dinosaurs with missing bones. Be forewarned: paleontology isn't for the impatient. This virtual dig is nearly as slow moving and challenging as the real thing. But do stick with it, there's a payoff for the persistent. When you reassemble a dinosaur in this virtual world, it grows flesh, comes to life, and wanders the museum. In our house, we have yet to find out what happens when we add Tyrannosaurus to the Triceratops we already have roaming the halls. (Ages 8 and older) --Anne Erickson

Customer Reviews of Dinosaur Hunter
Very Good - even for kids Dinosaur Hunter is a quality piece of work. Our 5 year old started playing with it when he was 4-1/2 (box lists age 10). He needed a good deal of hand holding the first 3 months of constant playing (he really loves dinosaurs, and this was a perfect match), but after that point he was able to navigate and investigate on his own. He still loves the program. Even though the content is reasonably deep and fascinating for an adult, there is a lot of interactive work that a pre-reading younger kid can enjoy. When clicking on dinosaurs, they will move and make the kinds of sounds that scientists would expect from a study of bone structures. There are a large number of movies, and there are many places where the program will read or pronounce names. One day our son was walking in circles. Each time he came back into view he was a different dinosaur with a different walk and a different roar. A different day he walked into the room and asked my wife for help finding the caudal vertebra for the heterodontasaurus. Not for all kids, but our youngster loves it.
