GameBoomers has posted a review of Bone: Out From Boneville. The article is signed by Becky who makes a great job writing this interesting and very funny review.
The score is B+ and here's a snippet:


Bone: Out From Boneville aims at a wide audience of gamers – adventure gamers, casual gamers and youthful gamers. In once sense it succeeds best with the youthful gamers – my nine-year-old son played it three times straight and loved it. Dialog in the game is set up so that (though he didn’t know it) the game was expanding my son’s reading skills. Still, if Bone were aimed primarily at this youthful age group, you wouldn’t expect the humor to be quite so sophisticated, or for other things to appear in the game – the use of expletives, for instance, and the use of cigars as a treasure hunt item.
Will Bone succeed with casual gamers? It very well might, though the story and the focus on getting to know the characters makes it a game that is not easily played for an hour, left for a week, then picked up again for another hour of play.
How about adventure gamers? This is the audience most likely to hear about Bone. Many fans of will want to know what a team with a LucasArts pedigree is producing, and these fans will probably feel right at home in the game. Adventure gamers in general will enjoy its droll humor and the promise of more appealing interactive stories based on the series. Gameplay, however, is more movement-oriented and time-sensitive than the typical adventure gamer is expecting to see.

I agree with Becky here but I also would like to add that the humor is probably what will keep adventure fans close to this title as it more like the "OMSJ aaaa... mwahahaha ... lol" type of humor that I love from the old LucasArts titles .
