 The PS2's very own version of "The Catcher in the Rye" Oct 17, 2006
By S. Rhodes
Bully may very well be one of the most controversial games of all time simply based on the fact that Rockstar made it. With only a name to their game, it was turning heads. People feared the worst. Mostly that the game would be as violent as Grand Theft Auto, but in a high school setting.
Let me set some minds at ease. There are no guns. The game doesn't even have any blood. Also, you can't kill anyone. Lastly, violence is rather discouraged.
You do not play the Bully. Instead you assume the role of Jimmy Hopkins, a boy trying to survive at Bullworth Academy. He's basically your run of the mill student. Your task inside the school is the same as they are for just about every student in high school. Pass your classes and stay out of trouble. Going to class actually is enforced for a time. Your classes are mini-games that you'll play. You're allowed to try and ditch class but there are consequences for not going. However, in this game you'll want to go to class just because participating in said class is actually fun, and can improve your skills. The mini games are fun and addictive. After a while it's no longer enforced, which I actually found rather sad. The aspect of going to class doesn't get nearly enough attention, but the mechanic works.
Outside of class, however, is where the game really begins to shine. If you're familiar with the gameplay of Grand Theft Auto, then you'll easily adapt to Bully. For starters, each and every student at Bullworth Academy has a unique personality. You'll make friends and you'll make enemies. The missions are fun and quite an experience. The game is original. Even better, the story sequences are filled to the brim with humor, quite simply it's one of the funniest games I've played.
In addition, you can also venture outside of the school. Jimmy can get a job to help him buy food and other things, and he's able to help people around town do some of their errands and chores as well. You'll also be able to date, go play some arcade games and plenty more. All the things most high school students do.
Jimmy isn't without a mischief. He's got a slingshot, a bat and a few other things he can use. Again, you can't kill anyone with these things, and eventually the objects will break anyway. Besides, if you beat up a kid, you have to serve detention. Part of the point of the game really is staying out of trouble.
The game also takes on a more realistic feel. There's a clock in the corner that shows you what time it is. If you're caught wandering around the school after hours there are consequences. If you stay out too late, you'll actually get tired and fall asleep.
The game looks and sounds brilliant. Fantastic voice acting really brings the story to life. The game also has some great visuals. The school and environments look astonishing.
Bully is a great game to be sure. It's almost like an interactive teenage drama come to life. A lot of the game is humorous and fun. But most importantly, it isn't Grand Theft Auto and it does stand on its own.

School Days Aren't Always Fun and Happy Oct 30, 2006
By Lisa Shea
"medieval swordfighting enthusiast"
People can pick on the Rockstar group for their Grand Theft Auto series, but I actually found the Bully game much more redeeming. You're a schoolboy taking on the stereotypical cliques.
It's pretty clear why you're a depressed teenage boy when the game starts. Apparently your dad has died, and your mom has remarried an elderly, grumpy old man who wants you out of the picture. Your mom is more than happy to dump you off at a stay-all-year school while she goes off with Mr. Moneybucks.
On top of that, the school officials are pretty nasty to you right from the start. Hogwarts this is not! Then as you go into the run-down dorm, other kids start beating up on you! It's time for you to stand up for yourself and make a stand.
There are various groups of kids in this school - the nerds, the jocks, the greasers and the preppies. Activities you do raise or lower your respect level with each group. You have to go to class too - and be there on time! If you're able to manage your schedule properly, you can participate in some pretty fun mini-games (the word scramble can be challenging!) to earn you new skills.
There are girls to court, and usually they want a specific item. So you have numerous quests to go on. The bully activities range from escorting a nerd safely to his locker, to running races and protecting yourself from attacks. You get clothing along the way, and can customize your look (within school regulations, of course).
It's a bit depressing, sometimes, to see how these mid-teen guys treat each other, but this does actually happen in many schools. I'm sure pretty much every person who was once a teen can name the cliques that existed in their school.
The graphics are rather good for a PS2, and the sounds, while again a bit depressing for a teen environment, work well with the game too. On one hand I can not really like the swearing in the game, but certain teens do in fact swear far worse than this game does!
I'd even say this is more like Fable than other Grand Theft Autos, with some of the ways that you can choose how you react in situations.
This game won't be enjoyed by people who are squeamish about violence - it does, after all, involve teen guys all bashing each other for very inane reasons. It also involves a lot of bullying - as you might imagine. Still, if you can deal with those issues, you'll find a really involving game that might actually make you think about how to treat others well.

After all is said and done...its worth the price of admission. Oct 19, 2006
By Underwear X
"A gamer who must constantly dodge work, school, and girlfriends"
After having played through a large portion of Bully, I can say this: Though its gameplay style may mimic other Rockstar titles (mainly the Grand Theft Auto series), Bully stands out on its own with many tweaks, themes, options, and fun to warrant itself as a standalone game worthy of praise, and not just another clone.
And yes, though the game was initially controversial, those same morons who continue to seek out the gaming industry for all the blame of messed up children who were going to do something bad either having the game or not (think of all the music, movies, and real life situations that include violence and sexual themes, etc.)...they came after Bully strictly because of the title and theme. The FACT is however, you'll find the games protagonist far from a Bully (this is nowhere near beating up hookers with a baseball bat, instead think of maybe a Bart Simpson with a little more edge.), and the title is a bit misleading...anyhow...
Even though the PS2 is on its last wheels, Bully manages to dredge up some very decent graphics for this title. Ambient sounds, music, and atmosphere are some of the best around, with tons of characters always surprising you with something new that may catch your ear. Whats really great about this game is that (and not to compare to the GTA series, but its inevitable)there seems to be a heavier emphasis on interaction with objects. You can break into certain lockers, pick up a large variety of objects and even climb trees, pull fire alarms etc. even when not in a mission.
I really enjoyed the missions overall, they gave a great sense of being in the schoolyard with its many cliques and funny themes. Lots of missions and side quests will keep you entertained for hours...appealing to both casual folks who may just want to finish the storyline or those who obsess on getting the game to 100% completion.
Most folks won't get that far, but its nice to know that theres always something you can do and come back to the game for if you get tired of it anytime soon. It may not be the absolute groundbreaking title you were thinking of, but its definitley a great game. If you enjoy the open ended feeling of 'free in a sandbox' style, or perhaps want a diversion from the same old GTA theme, pick it up and give Bully a shot.

The game of the year!!! Jan 01, 2007
Jimmy Hopkins is having a bad day. His recently remarried mother is running off with her rich husband on a yearlong honeymoon, and Jimmy, the 15-year-old troublemaker that he is, is getting sent off to Bullworth Academy, an extremely dysfunctional (hey, aren't they all?) boarding school. This sets the stage for Bully, Rockstar's latest release. We got some time in with the final version of the game, and it must be said that it makes a great first impression.
Right off the bat, you're shoved into a school uniform and forced to adapt to school life. That includes going to class, where you'll participate in brief minigames that upgrade your abilities in really useful ways. Gym class will teach you new fighting moves, English class helps you speak more articulately, which in turn makes it easier to talk your way out of trouble if one of the patrolling prefects sees you doing bad things or a harassing bully starts giving you the business ends of his fists. Then there's shop class, which gives you access to bikes, and art class. Doing well in art class makes it easier and more beneficial to get kisses from Bullworth's many female students, which gives you a health bonus. If you're wily and can hide out from authority figures, you can skip class, but the benefits of attending the classes really make you want to stay in school. But, of course, there's more to school life than just attending class.
Early in the game you'll become friends with this weird kid named Gary. Off his ADD medication, Gary's now got delusions about taking over the entire school. Since it's currently a very clique-filled place that offers the typical groups of nerds, jocks, bullies, preppies, and leather-jacket-wearing greasers, that's no easy task, especially because at the beginning of the game, all of these factions are way into beating you up. You're given a handful of powerful fighting moves that make one-on-one confrontations really easy, but over time your enemies grow in number, and fighting off three or four guys at once isn't nearly as easy, even if you know how to execute sweep kicks, uppercuts, and mounted wrestling moves. Your standing with each group is listed on a stat screen, and certain events will ally you with the various groups. Helping a nerd, for example, make his way to and from his locker without incident, raises your standing with the nerds. Bully is open-ended, but it's also a very mission-based game. Early on, you'll team up with Gary and essentially do his bidding, but before too long you'll hit the game's second chapter, which opens up the school gates and lets you venture into town. The missions are nicely varied, though none of the ones we've seen so far have been oppressively difficult, which keeps things moving along. Some missions are as simple as retrieving role-playing game character sheets from the bullies that have stolen them. Another has you going on a full-on nighttime panty raid in the girls' dorm. You'll also engage in bike races, boxing matches, and the occasional house egging. But you don't have all night. You wake up at 8 a.m. each morning and you're forced back to bed at 2 a.m. Throw in two classes each day and you're looking at a system that forces you to make the most of your time, but considering you can just as easily go an entire day without doing any missions or skip classes to focus on missions, time never becomes too much of a problem.
The bulk of the spotlight Bully has received prior to its release comes from the recent failed attempts to block it from reaching stores, the theory being that a game called Bully would have to be harmful to children. But the T rating for Bully means that there's no explicitly foul language, and from what we've seen so far, the game comes across much like a lighthearted PG-13 movie. Yes, there's plenty of mischief, and yes, there's plenty of kid-on-kid fisticuffs. But this is most certainly no Grand Theft Auto. In fact, you spend more time in the game defending weaker children from bullies, not bullying them yourself--though that option is always there, even if it doesn't gain you anything.
The game's dedication to keeping things light comes across in its set of weapons. As you do well in chemistry class, you earn the ability to make weapons like firecrackers and stink bombs. You'll also have a slingshot that you can use to attack foes (or windows) from a distance. You'll also find bags of marbles that you can use to make would-be pursuers slip and fall, and cartons of eggs, which always come in handy. The characters in Bully are very expressive and well-animated, which goes a long way to help make the world feel alive. The environments look pretty nice for a PlayStation 2 game, and the world is large, but not sprawling. The voice work in the game has, so far, been pretty good, and the music is really, really great. There's a different instrumental track for each faction, which plays when you're attacked, but every piece of music so far has been outstanding and it really sets the mood well. Overall I think this is the best game of 2006!

Bully = GTA Gameplay + Novel Characteristics Nov 26, 2006
By Thomas E. Hayden
"Tom Hayden"
I normally only review books on Amazon, however I couldn't resist posting a review of Bully. At it's worst, Bully is a slightly cheesy (and somewhat) stereotypical story of a kid with a dysfunctional family. At it's best, Bully is the best example of making a story more engaging, interactive, and fun by making it a video game. Bully is not only a blast to play, but the story keeps you captivated.
In Bully, you play the role of Jimmy - an unloved child from a dysfunctional family who is dumped off at Bullworth Academy. Bullworth, a rundown prep school, is full of warring cliques of students - the jocks, the preps, the nerds, and the greasers along with an assortment of other characters - the hobo, the school principal, the teachers, the townies, etc. Jimmy, in an attempt to "get by" tries to bring bring peace to the school and is constantly countered by the acts of his antagonist, Gary.
The gameplay is superb, the "world" isn't quite as free or large as the GTA series (although this didn't make a difference, really), and the storyline is absolutely fun and well-written. Rockstar Vancouver really did a great job with this game and I hope they continue to release more games with the GTA gameplay but new and original storylines.
