 Not Quite What It Seems to Be July 7, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The problem with creating titles for a game is that often the game itself gets pigeon-holed simply from its titled. Take Bully. Now, reading the title, you'd automatically think that the game is about beating up people.
Wrong.
Yes, you definitely beat up people, but often you are doing so on behalf of other people. You're plunked down into this school of natural-born hellions and are supposed to fend for yourself. Instead, as Jimmy you often end up fending for the less-liked people.
Like real boarding school you have classes to attend (and can skip as long as the prefects can't find you), curfew, and lights-out. Unlike real school you can put "kick me" signs on someones back, throw eggs at the preppies dorm, and can kiss tons of girls (which brings your health up - see, girls ARE good!).
I'm a 28 year old woman who has spent hours of her evening time playing, and thoroughly enjoying this game. It is a wonderful stress reliever and definitely is a game that you can be easily sucked into.
 Fun game! July 1, 2008

This game has me laughing out loud and having a blast. It loses a half a star, however, for the game control. It's not easy to turn yourself around like it is with Scarface. I disagree with the other person who has moral issues with this game. Personally I love violent games because they mellow me out and make me non-violent and peaceful in real life, since I've gotten out my aggression with the game.
Fills the GTA void on the Wii. June 23, 2008

I bought this game when GTA4 was coming out on other consoles because I had a hankering to play some GTA. Although this game is not as ridiculously violent as GTA, it's a lot of fun and has a great story line. It is easily as much fun as any GTA that I've played.

After reading all the reviews for this game I finally broke down a bought it. I must say I was greatly disappointed. I don't care about how great the graphics, environment and freedom of play are (which I must say it has good design and layout). I played it for a single hour before I packed it up and traded it for Zelda.
The reason I did not like this game at all was mostly because you really had no choice in being a bully or not. At least at first, but I wasn't keen to find out. You started the game AS a bully and were forced to befriend the top bully at the beginning. Your first 'proprietary' missions were to break in a locker and steal money, then take a slingshot and go knock out all the football players on the field. Another big complaint is that you can't preview the missions before choosing to accept, therefore you have no clue whether the mission condones being a bully or helping someone out(sometimes by being a bully).
While I did not find these negative behaviors intolerable, seeing as it was acting as a beginners' tutorial for your range of abilities, what I could not stand was the dialog and interactions. Each person I greeted would make nasty remarks to me, and in just walking by someone they would shout "Your Evil!" or "Stupid!". I will say, however, those same kids did say "hey" the next day in passing(a faint glimmer of hope). I also detested the videos of Gary (the bully-friend you make at the first) bullying other kids around and kicking the dudes 'where it hurts'. There is enough of that out in the real world, the last thing I want to do is be a part of it in a video game.
I can't base my criticism on the entire game. Like I said, I only played it for a little while (two in-game days) so it may get better and a bit more positive as you progress. I strongley reccommened renting this game or buying it used (stores that sell used usually have a good return policy.) That way you can be sure you like it enough to buy/keep it.

This is soo much fun, like microeconomy version of GTA. small in scope than GTA but much more detialed, funny, bitting social comentary, very well done combat and the classroom mini games are challanging. A must buy for anyone looking to vent some anger but kicking the crap out of some nerds, or jocks if you like, or just smashing windows out and running from the "law", get it.
