Just Adventure's own Shannon Hall revels in her rather remarkable, albeit definitely rave review re Telltale's "Bone: Out From Boneville", which receives an overall final gradeing of A+...
Keep in mind that I discovered the graphic novels after playing the game, so my opinion may differ from that of an avid Bone fan. However, I’m told by a very reliable, fanatical source (ahem, Randy Sluganski) that the fact that the dragon appears at the very end of this game alongside Grandma Ben and Thorn is very out of line with the original story. As a Bone newbie, I would never have noticed this, but it apparently has some impact on the future of the story. As Telltale Games has plans of releasing future volumes in game form, this may or may not have importance to fans.
Now that that disclaimer is out of the way, I personally have nothing but good things to say about this game. In fact, the only problem I have is that it’s too short, and that just means I’m greedy. I think 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.
