Review of Bully

Bully (2006 Video Game)
10/10
Buy this sick filth!
22 October 2007
First things first. This game rocks! Jack Thompson can eat his words for what he said. This game has the same amount of violence, sex and language of a real school (maybe less language than a British state school). But I digress.

Canis Canem Edit (or Bully to you Yanks) starts off as the 15 year old protagonist Jimmy Hopkins gets ditched at the worst school in the state, Bulworth Acadamy as his mum and Step-dad #5 go off on a cruise. After seeing the principal Jimmy immediately gets into a fight and makes friends with the resident sociopath, Gary Smith and 'femme-boy' Petey Kowalski. From there on the story is a twisting turning piece of writing excellence.

The story. Good. The difficulty curve. Good. The Characters. Gooooood. Rockstar excels itself with this games characters relying on obvious stereotypes to get the most laughs but the range of personalities is great! From the sporty but dumb Jock who is jealous of the football captain's position as Jock Leader Damon West to the spoilt princess Preppie who doesn't want to marry her cousin Pinky Gauthier to the momma's boy nerd who has a weak bladder Algie Papadopolous all these characters are suitably deranged and fleshed out.

Don't do what the Daily Mail readership tell you to. YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME!
