What's a dollar?

It took me approximately 3 hours to play through Bone and a fair slice of that time was taken up with Hide 'n Seek and the chase sequences, they did seem to dominate. Considering the price tag it is on the short side and, in my humble opinion the next episode should make the mini games simpler for a range of ages with a larger serving of more traditional adventuring for balance. More interaction with the game world would be a good thing too, more objects to select and collect. Maybe some incidental animations just for the fun of it. Yes, I do know it's a tall order designing a game suitable for everyone, but with a little extra forgiveness in the 'activities' and a bit more length, Bone could be a winner. Particularly for younger players, making the mini games replayable would be a bonus!

You can download and purchase Bone: Out From Boneville at Telltale Games where there is a demo available so you can try before you buy. It is activated online once you have installed it on your computer. Lets hope that the next episode has a bit more bulk, because there's heaps of potential. I look forward to meeting up with Fone, Phoney and Smiley again and seeing them safely home.
