When it comes to Rockstar games that people want to see remade, Bully more often than not gets brought up. This game was a pretty big deal back in the day, so much so that I am pretty surprised that we have not gotten a new game in the series. If you have always wondered what it would be like to go back to school, this game lets you live out that fantasy!

From edgy publisher Rockstar’s Vancouver development team comes this dark comedy set in the most vile and sadistic setting yet in a Rockstar videogame: the schoolyard. Bully: Anniversary Edition now available on iOS and Android Devices. Bully: Scholarship Edition now available on PC, Xbox 360 and Wii. Bully, the original title from Rockstar Games, now available on PS2, PS3, and PS4. Lovely Bit Of Bully. Bully is undeniably a fantastic sandbox game. It follows the GTA template of missions, gangs, and world expansion, and adds such a glut of things to do. That you'll be shocked how slowly the percentage complete counter rises, and be tempted to play the game in one 20-hour sitting. ENHANCED GRAPHICS. ENHANCED GAMEPLAY. Bully: Scholarship Edition takes place at the fictional New England boarding school, Bullworth Academy and tells the story of mischievous 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins as he goes through the hilarity and awkwardness of adolescence. Beat the jocks at dodge ball, prank the preppies, save the nerds, kiss the girl and ultimately navigate the social hierarchy in.
Off You Go Jimmy!
One of the more surprising things about the game is the story. I was not sure what to expect the first time that I played this game, but it turned out to be far more story-driven than I thought it would be. So much so that I do not want to spoil the story of Bully for you here, but I will give you the basics of what is going on.The character you play as is a loveable rogue called Jimmy. Jimmy is 15 years old and he has been dumped by his mother at this preppy boarding school. Jimmy is not exactly thrilled about this, but he decides he will become the big wolf on campus. The story has way more twists and turns than I thought it would.
High School Never Ends
High school never ends is a song by Bowling For Soup and much of what is in that song rings true for this game. There are different cliques in the game such as the jocks and the nerds and you need to try and fit in with them. If you do this, they will help you, if you do not, they can be an enemy. It is a delicate balancing act and I am sure there are some groups that you will want to help more than others. The dialogue in true Rockstar fashion is fantastic here, but it is so damn quiet! Bully is starting to show its age in terms of the visuals. You have to keep in mind this is a game that was originally made with the PlayStation 2 in mind so even the enhanced version has a look that is a tad rough around the edges.
Jimmy, Come Out To Play!
The gameplay on offer here is way more varied than you would think. You can go to class where you will be graded and the classes work like mini-games and they are a lot of fun. You can also explore the campus where you can talk to other students and teachers here you can get more story and side missions to move the game forward. You can also get into scuffles and this is one area that Bully does shine.Instead of using the combat system from Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar instead has used one that is very similar to what was on offer in the excellent Warriors video game. Jimmy is a teenager after all so his way of fighting is getting into fistfights and the combat is very, very satisfying. Jimmy can dish out some awesome moves and killer combos that are a lot of fun to do.
I still think that Bully is one of the unsung heroes of the Rockstar back catalog. This game is just a ton of fun and one that is well worth playing. While I do have a soft spot for the PlayStation 2 original. I must admit that the enhanced version Rockstar released a year or so back is easily the best way to play the game as they have improved the visuals best, they could, increased the volume of the audio and even added in a thing or two as well.
Pros:
- The story is way better than you would think
- Some of the dialogue is hilarious
- The classes are a lot of fun
- There is a nice variety to the missions
- Jimmy is a likable character
Cons:
- It certainly shows its age in the visual department
- Some of the dialogue is strangely very quiet
