Games with dinosaurs?

Closed

I need to find a gift for 9 and 12 years old boys. The one must have thing is "dinosaurs".

They were talking about "Wildlife Park 2: Dino World" but it seems it's not being sold here. We might buy them "Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals" but I would like to get some suggestions before deciding.

Edit: if I recall correctly their favourites are tyrannosaurus and triceratops (so it would be great if the game had those two or at least T-Rex)

Edit 2: The game needs to be PC (no need for steam, we want to buy boxed games)

Jurassic Park and Turok come to mind, not sure if they're age-appropriate though.

...Well, there's always Yoshi...

modern kids should start playing good games from the very beginning or they will be doomed to rot in endless stream of Call of DOOTIES

There's a whole Natural History Museum filled with lots of prehistoric animals and DINOSAURS. Creepy as hell.

Does it have to be on Steam? If not, there's an old tycoon game called Dino Island. If they have DS, some appear in Chrono Trigger.

Much better game then most today's games except graphics. Unfortunately they don't make games like this anymore. First Dino Crisis is in rang with Resident Evil 1, 2 & 3 and in some things even better.

seriously though, I'm not sure any of the 'dinosaur' games (on Steam at least) are really all that good. they generally seem to have bad scores on MetaCritic. having a hard time coming up with something good here
