Summary: Find the dinosaur before he finds you!!
Comment: I bought this CD for my 9 year old (very smart) niece. We sat down for a quick 15 minute initial exploration & ended up spending 2 hours together roaming the museum, playing the games, testing our knowledge & digging up the bones from the bottom of the excavation pit. The 2nd CD, with its brilliant 3D environments, was great fun - I had vertigo with a vengence when flying with the pteranodon! My niece wants a baby Triceratops so move over Jurassic Park! Buy this - learn with it, have fun with it, & live with the dinosaurs.

Summary: Great? Think again...It's Cool!!
Comment: When I first read about it and the price tag, I thought,"What could this thing do?" But I forced myself to buy it for my cousin's birthday. He loved it so much he had me sit down beside him and see him play. Imagine how foolish I was! But after a few minutes, I was in love with it! I was soon fighting with him over the PC just to use it. Yes, it is a great app, at least for me. The graphic is superb, the puzzles fun. Almost every feature in it is fun and entertaining. This "game", as I call it, is not just great. It is way COOL!

Sure to satisfy the curiosity of any would-be fossil hunter, 3D Dinosaur Hunter is excellent for learning, exploring and walking with those fascinating creatures of history. Using a dinosaur museum as a metaphor, the explorer (you!) works through the fascinating process of digging up a fossilised skeleton, preparing the bones for transport, learning about the species and uncovering how the creature died. But this museum goes far deeper than that--there are 50 different species to learn about, each with their own story and habits.The second of the set's two CD-ROMs includes six dinosaur habitats built in a 3-D environment. Controlling the mouse moves you through the environment like a ghost, watching the dinosaurs in a given habitat as they move about. Everything here is both well rendered and animated, and while this part is fun, it's almost too good--it will leave you hungry for more when you reach a wall (i.e. the limit of the environment). An especially nice touch: embedded throughout the program are video clips of scientists at work, actually uncovering and preparing dinosaur bones in the desert. It's a terrific glimpse into the process, a look at all the hard work that comes long before the final stage of exhibition in a museum. Designed only for Windows, 3D Dinosaur Hunter takes full advantage of any contemporary computer with a decent monitor, video card and good speakers (especially if you have a three-piece speaker set that includes a subwoofer). The soundtrack is filled with ambient noise and at times we could not only hear the prehistoric noises, but feel the tremors of approaching carnivores. --Mike Caputo
