Review of Bully

Bully (2006 Video Game)
10/10
Taking ROCKSTAR to a whole new level..........
2 September 2007
As if the GTA crew had gone back in time, we see Jimmy Hopkins, something of a teenage Tommy Vercetti, thrust into a different school while his mom and new stepfather (which # was he? 15? 16?) shuffle off on a honeymoon cruise. At 15, he's already been labeled a criminal with a history of violence, blatant disrespect for authority, vandalism, and countless other acts of anti-social actions. But Bullworth Academy has some plans for young Hopkins! With a sudden shot of conscience after meeting Peter Kowalski, Jimmy reveals the reasons behind his behavior. And with Gary in the picture, playing the sinister puppeteer, Jimmy Hopkins is in for the challenge of his teenage years.

Helping certain staff members with errands, dealing with such academy cliques like Jocks, brainless Preppies, sneaky Nerds, etc., and earning some spending cash with odd jobs and building up your wardrobe, I have to admit I was skeptical of this title at first. But after playing it for 3 hours when I first bought it, I was addicted!!

Aside from the rare but annoying funky camera angles here & there, I really give this game a good high rating. Recommended for the GTA fans who want to try just being mischievous for a change instead of blatantly killing in a video game. Learning new fighting moves from a hobo, and grappling during gym class, you are in for a treat if you try it!
