Bone: The Great Cow Race

A old school point and click adventure with a sense of humor.

The Great Cow Race continues the adventures where Out from Boneville ended: Fone, Phoney and Smiley Bone have been reunited in the Village and now need to figure out what is going on in the Valley and exactly why the Rat Creatures are after them. Like Out from Boneville, The Great Cow Race is a point and click adventure that allows us to follow any of the three main protagonists and actually requires them to cooperate for some of the puzzles. While the puzzles are definitely improved since the first game, the overall story is still both slow and not terribly captivating. Especially Fone and Phoney Bone are too naïve and too mischievous respectively, so that they are not very interesting to play as. Once again, the game is pretty short and besides some quick time events it is not too hard either. The end is a cliff-hanger, and one that Telltale Games has not dared to solve yet. A better game than the prequel, but not a milestone in the genre by a long stretch.

The second best game of all time.

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 way I can describe it, it's really that bad. The animations are just as bad, the mouths move like the worst lipsync in the world, I honestly got a good laugh out of that. Overall though it's really just ugly, and is an aspect that makes this game awful. The gameplay is just so bad. It's a story-based game right, so it's not supposed to be super duper fun, but most RPG story games have the minigames or QTE's or something, but oh boy bone is something else. The games have strange mechanic where you have to figure out some bull method of winning like a puzzle, but it's a minigame? I actually don't get it, like in the first game you had to figure out this hide and seek game that took about an hour for me to realize that saying warmer and colder moves them in the direction (spoiler alert lol). Another amazing thing, although I enjoy Fone crip walking everywhere, it's so damn slow, and it takes ages to go everywhere, and I'm not joking about the crip walk, buying the game just for that is reasonable. Finally, I will talk about the best part of the game, the dialogue. Now it's a story-based RPG, so the dialogue should be pretty good, and it's fine for the most part since it's ripped from the book, but first the voice acting is wooden most of the time and is god awful in general. The thing about the dialogue is that some of it is written by the game writers or whatever, and you can tell which are ripped from the book because the lines written by the programmers or whatever is so bad, you can tell it apart easily. It's not completely bad, but wow is it far off from the normal game writing. Now this is written with a ton of hyperbole, and I actually enjoyed playing this game with friends since it's so funny and we just laughed for hours about some of the dumb things in this game, but that doesn't change that I still did technically enjoy it. And like I said, this game came out when Telltale was still a fresh company, so you can't judge this too harshly or use this to define the company. In conclusion, play these games, you will hate them and yourself, but you will laugh your ass off. But actually don't get these, these are better lost to time.

Boring story and gameplay.

Was stuck mopping the floor for 20 minutes before I Alt-F4'd.

[b]Serinin ikinci oyunu açık söylemem gerekirse ilk oyun kadar beğenmedim. Bana hep özenilmemiş bir yapım gibi hissettirdi diyebilirim. Eğer ilk oyunu oynayıp sevdiyseniz üzülerek söylüyorum ki bu oyuna hiç girmeyin bile. Maalesef tavsiye edemiyorum. Daha fazla inceleme için; https://store.steampowered.com/curator/28040015[/b]
