Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, Telltale's first licensed franchise was Bone. It was based on the comic book series of the same name. They only made two games based on two early arcs of it. Essentially most licensed Telltale games follows in this series footsteps. It may not be a major success but in a way it still works.
1. Bone: Out from Boneville
I am not familiar with the comic series but based on what I looked into. They did a great job recreating it. You play as several characters mostly the same three characters on the cover. Even with a guide you still be curious to see how this plays out. The overall pace is kinda slow but it doesn't get me bore.
There are some game play variety that do help spicing up the game. This was also their first game you could go about several parts of the story how you want. Mostly you are playing as Bone in his quest to find his friends. The puzzles aren't that challenging but some parts aren't clear what to do either.
It's tough to explain unless you play this game prior to my review. It is a game you can't lose in but you do have to retry until you succeed. The overall length is shorter than what you expect from Telltale games. There is some humor if you are into cartoonish wise cracks. This was the first licensed franchise they ever done.
2. Bone: The Great Cow Race
Let's be honest everyone knows this was the better out of the two Bone games. WOW this improved many ways over the previous one. They were precursors to their episodic format. I would say the humor is at it's best. Trust me watching a walkthrough could get some people wanting to play it. In a way it is sorta ridiculous even for a Telltale game.
You get to play as the other two characters more greatly affecting how the game plays out. There's more game play variety including the actual great cow race portion. The dialogue alone is worth checking out this game. You won't believe some of the stuff you have to do. You have to play as all three main characters to the end before you can finish the game.
But you can do them in any order that won't affect much. A foreshadowing to every decision greatly impacts what happens in many of their games. This game isn't slow in it's pacing although it can take awhile. Some things aren't made clear even reading many people's guides trust me I been there. I would say among their very early works this would be the best of them.
