Brachiosaurus had an audio nod, Gallimimus was a no show. This was due to the fact that most of the game was centered from East Docks, in land to the Visitor's Center then up North to the North Dock. The map shows the Helipad and Galli's towards the South end of the island. The Brach's made sense because of it's centrality to East Dock, Triceratops, and the Visitor's Center.
Of course it came down to the "resource budget" for the game, and modeling Gallis for a small glance scene for the Harding's on the way to East Dock was just not justifiable. The Brachiosaurus would have taken a lot of resources, again for just a small appearance. The main focus of the game was to feature action dinosaurs that could be pinnacle to the gameplay, it's just not very actiony to encounter those dinosaurs as they are for the most part not threatening dinosaurs. The best threat I can think of is a stampede, but I think the carnivore dinosaurs were a lot more thrilling.
