Here's what the critics are saying about Telltale's Bone games...


A very well designed, well drawn point-and-click adventure that harkens back to the days of old.
Graphically, Bone is a beautiful title. Very cartoonish in style, each character is rendered perfectly. Thorn is stunning in a simple fashion. Gran'Ma Ben is not stunning, but she is detailed. The Bone's look like bones. Even the cows are drawn to perfection.
Score: 8.6/10 | IGN
Wow. I haven't played the first episode or read the comic, but I'm very impressed.
This sequel is certainly an amazing piece of work. The voice acting is tremendous and the visuals are just fabulous. ... It's really hard to go wrong with the Bone games if you are looking for something that is a fun and challenging mix of old school adventure and current technology.
Score: 8.0/10 | Game Tunnel
Fans of Bone or point-and-click adventures shouldn't hesitate to grab it.
Funnier writing, longer gameplay, more diverse puzzles, and better interplay between characters make Cow Race a whimsical delight, especially for the low price of $12.99.
Score: 85% | PC Gamer
A game that everyone should be playing.
This is a series that is really picking up steam, and Telltale seems intent on listening to players and trying to make each installment better. Gorgeous backgrounds, a great story, and engaging puzzles make this a game you don't want to miss.
Score: 4/5 | Adventure Gamers
If you're a fan of old-school adventures, you really don't have an excuse not to play this.
Bone: The Great Cow Race boasts pretty, well-animated visuals, excellent voice-acting and a great musical score, especially for an indie title.
Score: 8/10 | GamesRadar
A faithful, engaging retelling of the comic series' story.
The Great Cow Race loyally follows its ancestors, with likeable protagonists, cute but static backdrops, and a bottomless supply of humorous voiceovers that accompany even the dead ends and red herrings.




I found this game to be completely absorbing.
Anyone who wants to be whisked away into a brightly colored land of adventure featuring the time-honored themes of good and evil, friends and foes, and a good dose of real humor will be doing themselves a serious favor by checking out this game.
Score: A+ | Just Adventure
An instant classic you don't want to miss.
Thirteen dollars is a bargain price for each installment, when you consider you're getting a lovingly crafted bit of gaming goodness that anyone with a funny bone will enjoy.
Score: 8/10 | Ace Gamez
This humorous, light-hearted point-and-click, fantasy adventure is one thing over all else: fun.
Bone: Out from Boneville is full of charm, and the price is right. Stay home from a movie and play this instead. It'll make the world a better place.
Score: 8/10 | Games Radar
A testament to Jeff Smith's inspired, humorous work.
Out From Boneville's closeness to the comic will make it a mandatory purchase for lovers of the graphic novel. As for the game, the endearing characters and witty dialogue are real winners.
Score: 7.2/10 | AmpedIGO
This series could definitely end up being a classic.
All in all, this is a promising beginning to a series I am definitely looking forward to continuing in the future. The story is charming and witty, the puzzles are a refreshing change from the usual, and the game is appropriate for everyone in the family. ... A great story and a change of pace from the usual puzzles make this a wonderful game that's easy to get into.
Score: 3.5/5 | Adventure Gamers
