  Being a fan of the book series by Jeff Smith and the first game of the series (Bone: Out From Boneville) I definitely liked the second one better. If you would like to see my review of the first one, go check the store and my review is there somewhere. This one is more difficult than the first one. Now, I cheated in this one. I used the help button throughout, making it only take me three hours to beat. Now, if yoiu don't use it, and have never played it, it should take you longer to beat it than the first one. Unlike the first one, this one has more difficulty and problem-solving skills. It even has the possibility of playing as Smiley Bone, as well as Fone Bone and Phoney Bone. In the first game, you couldn't switch between characters whenever you wanted to and you couldn't play as Smiley Bone. The thing about this is that every character you play as is connected in some way. So, when you do a certain thing with one character, it makes it help one of the other characters. When you are finished doing everything possible with one character, you are unable to use that character anymore, so that it makes it simpler for you to know what to do next. The mini games are minimal in this game, unlike the first one, and concentrates more on problem solving. It is much more entertaining than the first one, much more difficult, and much longer (if you don't use the help button). I recommend this game and I give it 9 out of 10. (The Edit was simply spell check for your reading pleasure)

  The sequel to "Bone: Out from Boneville"...? I say this in confusion because the first game ended with the Cow Race beginning, and this game starts with the characters not knowing anything from the first game except the cow race. There's continuity errors all over this plot. The dialogue is even slower then the first, and the "mini-games" get you stuck it sucks so much a*s it made be quit. Would not bother with this crap. 0/10

  The Great Cow Race offers the same fun than the original game in the series. This a short, cute, and easy adventure game for you and the kids to enjoy. This is Telltale Games, you just can't go wrong.

  The story of the cow race comes to a conclusion, but there isn't a major resolution to the main story of the hooded figure and them finding their way back home. Since this is the last in the series, I cannot recommend a game that doesn't resolve itself. I felt the conversation puzzles were arbitrary and they felt way more tedious/grindy than the first chapter, Out of Boneville. I'm a huge fan of other Telltale games, but this isn't that great and definitely aimed at a younger audience in my opinion. Skip it.

  Bone: The Great Cow Race is the sequel to Bone Out from Boneville and follows on Phone Bone and the gang as theyre being hunted by the Locust yet again but will this sequel top the first one or will you want to skip it ? This time you play as all three cousins instead of the two you played in the first one. The game picks up a little before the first episode ends where we find out how the guys ended up in the city. After escaping from the locust we find out that Grandma Ben's farm house has been destroyed they set onto compete in the Great cow race. While Phone bone tries to impress Thorn. Phoney and Smiley hatched a plan to win the Race for themselfs and take the bet winnings while we find out that the locust are still trying to catch and kill Phone Bone. So how is the sequel ? Overall i liked this more than the first act since i liked the puzzles more in this one cause they were a bit tougher to figure out. The gameplay is still the same as the first one but this time you can switch to witch charecter you want to play on the fly. The script is funny and the game is very fun. But there are a few problems with the game. Its quite short and the biggest turn off for some people im gonna try to avoid spoiling it here but the game ends on a cliffhanger which is never resolved (unless youve read the comic books) Overall this is a very fun adventure game. Definetly get both episodes of Bone cause its really fun. I give Bone: The Great Cow Race a 8/10

  If you read any of the "Bone" books by Jeff Smith, this is the game for you! I enjoyed the second one more than the first because it follows the hilarious "Great Cow Race" plotline. It's a shame that this series was discontinued but at least we got two great games to play. Besides with the superb animations and voice acting, it could also double as a "Bone" cartoon...

  A fun adaption of the second Bone graphic novel, would suggest if you wanna try a telltale classic from back in the day.

  One of the things that was great about Simon The Sorcerer and Monkey Island was that they got you laughing, and the presentation was beautiful, with highly detailed environments, and some of the best pixel art around. This game lacks on both those fronts. I don't mind them being in 3-D or even necesarrily that it's low poly, it just looks bad. Un-inspired and un-inspiring.
