About This Game

It's spring fair time and The Great Cow Race is about to begin! Play carnival games. Write love poetry. Outsmart a really big bee. Cheat the locals out of their hard-earned eggs. Bang on some pots and pans. Escape from an angry mob. Oh, and dress up like a cow. (Not necessarily in that order.)

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...

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.

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.

Bone: The Great Cow Race is the followup to the Telltale game Bone: Out From Boneville. The game can be played as a stand alone story without any prior knowledge of the Bone comic strip, or the pevious episode, but background knowledge is of course only beneficial. As with the previous iteration, there is alcohol and tobacco use, as well as some cartoonish slapstick humor. There are no bonus features, so the story plays out in a very linear manner. Overall, the story is more humorous than the previous episode, and about double the length as well. If you enjoyed the first episode, you owe it to yourself to try this one too.

[h1]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[/h1]

This game is far better than the first one. It's bigger, with more difficult puzzles (compared to ones in the first game), and has some fascinating missions. I really love the voice acting and the dialogues. Still, I love the Bone games, mostly because I love the Bone comics too. I feel like I forced myself to like these games. So, I'm not sure if everyone is going to love these games. Sadly, Telltale Games abandoned the Bone game series and they are left without a third game, so they're incomplete. With their current experience, Telltale Games would make an excellent third Bone game, so I really hope they will consider 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...

Played March 2016. 4 hours, but I accidentily left it running on pause awhile. It is probably only 2 hours of gameplay. This game has a similar glitch that prevents running on Windows 10, but search the community board and you can find the workaround, and it is similar to the workaround for the first Bone game. (Delete a file, start the game, change settings, restart the game). [h1] Do you like Bone? Do you like Telltale style games?[/h1] If you like either of them, it might be a buy. But it's certainly not mandatory for fans of the Bone series. It's the sequel to the first Bone game. It's a Telltale point-and-click adventure. I'm not a big fan of that style of game, but I love Bone. It still has decent character models that look like the books. This game doesn't change the book, but it adds a lot. The gist is you have to help Fone through the fair to collect honey for Thorn, you have to help Smiley build the cow suit, and you have to help Phoney convince people to bet on the mys...

I have a few things to say about this game and the previous game, Bone : Out from Boneville. So first of all, it has been brought to my attention people have been giving this game POSITIVE REVIEWS, and I know that it was one of their first games and their team probably wasn't experienced, and I'm not expecting a miracle out of a new company, because I have a brain. But this game is so exceedingly bad, even for a company that just is starting out, and I'm gonna say why, especially since this game isn't available anymore. First, there's the graphics. This game is garbage looking, and there's no doubt, I mean this game came out the same year as Resident Evil 4, which is amazing for its time, sure, but if you compare the graphics that was what was capable in 2005, in fact resident evil CAME FIRST, and I know its a cartoon style, but its just bad, and it hurts my eyes. The color palette is toilet, its just a lot of brown and red and white and grey, that's not even a joke, that's the best ...
