Bully is an updated port from the PS2 version. The graphics are updated as well as the gameplay. Overall I would say this is an excellent port of an older video game. Gameplay mechanics are solid and it has a funny story. Don't believe the hype in the media about bully making kids bully and glorifying bullying. THAT'S WRONG AND IGNORANT!! It's about a kid taking back the school from bullies and you are penalized for being a bully. Beside most kids face far worse in the real world schools than in this videogame. This is a T for teen rated game so parents pay attention to what your kids are playing. But this game is a definite buy, especially for those who like rockstar's games.
A Fun Open World Game

I am a big fan of the Rockstar franchise and the sandbox games they produce. So Bully - Scholarship edition was a must have game for me.
The reviews did get me a bit apprehensive, but after playing through this game I would recommend this to anyone who has never explored such games before, and also people who love humour in their games.
The plus points about this game are a very immersive school crowd, brilliant story missions which never sound repetitive, and have their unique twists. If you do get bored of the missions or are stuck in one, you can do stuff like run errands, collect cards, rubber-bands, etc. Also, I never ever got frustrated with this game and enjoyed my play through. The characters and environments may not be graphically amazing but they are more than adequate and look good. Also, the voice acting is a bit over the top, and very humurous, but this is a game about school kids and their teachers, so you have to expect that!
The downsides of this game are occasional moments where people seem to get stuck on invisible barriers and graphical glitches. I did not find any major crashes, and I had heard that this game is extremely buggy, but I guess Rockstar has patched a few of these. So an update from XBOX Live should help.
All in all, I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to find out what the GTA series was all about, without any of the killing, and for folks who love GTA, Saints Row, etc...this is a game you must have in your collection. I wish I was back in school!!!
