Bully: Scholarship Edition

..of good old times at school ; ) ...
Great game, although sometimes it feels a little too much 'on rails', as e.g. compared to GTA etc.
Too much emphasis on 'collecting outfits' for my taste.
These are only minor flaws, and overall this game is a must-buy.

Bully is not your typical sandbox game. There isn't much violence, no murder, and no profanity. Instead you get lots of mayhem and more importantly fun!

Set in a fictional New England private school, you play as Jimmy Hopkins, a rebel (without a cause) who has to get through a year of school after being abandoned by his mom and her latest beau. There are a plethora of activities available to you all of which are fun, ranging from class activities, crazy story missions (panty raids!!), various romantic dalliances, and just general tom-foolery.

Characters are great, and the voice acting is superb. Controls are good generally being up to the task for whatever activity you're engaging in. The only real negative is that the 360 version is a bit of a sloppy port. Graphics are very dated (and the HD resolution doesn't tend to do them any favours), and the frame-rate occasionally stumbles, but this doesn't change the fact that Bully is definitely worth checking out!

Comments: Bully is similar to Grand Theft Auto series. You play as a mischievous teenage boy who has to survive the most notorious fictional boarding school in New England. The game graphics is average but if compare with PS2 version, it has lots of improvements. Voice acting is great and the script is humorous. The game is not difficulty as long you concentrate to upgrade your character stats at the beginning before playing later missions. Scholarship Edition features new classes, missions, additional characters and new unlockable items and clothing. A must have for those who love Grand Theft Auto series.

This game is super. The world is fun and easy on the eyes. lots of great pieces of imagination and design... and the Christmas level is one of the best looking envirmonments I've ever played.
The classes are fun, but spread too thinly, and the saving location gets a bit tiresome.
I recommend this game the missions diverse and interesting enough to make it really quite addictive!
