Alright, so this is my first review I've ever written, but this game pretty much inspired me to write it.

First off, I got this game on accident, but well I guess that was a way of getting me to play it.

PROS.
-Very Well Built Storyline
keeps you entertained for mostly the entire playthrough

-Easier Achievements
the achievements aren't hard, plus you have all the time you need to get them

-Very Fun Gameplay
the game, simply put, is fun, nothing else really describes it

-Good Audio
not the best but it doesnt get repetitive

-Good Graphics
this game's graphics are pretty good, as the game IS old, the graphics were done right

Just a very good game in general, very original, and will keep you entertained

CONS.

The only con i can think of for this game is the achievements are a bit strange "kick 100 soccer balls", "walk 100,000 meters on foot", "receive 25 kisses from the gents"
but i mean it's no major flaw on the game.

The game overall is a very great game, awesome storyline, and fluid gameplay.

As usual MY reviews contain the Good and the Bad along with a final thought.

===========
THE GOOD
===========

Nice graphics, cant really complain in this department

VERY FUN, AND ADDICTING!
you will want to play this for hours and boy does the time fly fast!

Fun and amusing missions, very creative and captivating

Somewhat easy achievements , I would rate it a 6/10 on achievement difficulty

==========
THE BAD
==========

THIS IS THE WORST.... NO AUTO SAVE!!!!
In the year 2008 EVERY GAME and I mean every game!! should contain AUTO SAVE.
Not only is it disappointing to see no auto save, its a complete failure to the game overall!

You will need to play missions over and over due to no auto save and the extreme FREEZING issues this game has

You should save after every little thing you do because your game will freeze sooner or later, one time I lost 3 hours of play time because of no save and freeze issue

ROCKSTAR IS SLOW TO PATCH!
Its been known before the games release about ongoing issues with achievements and bugs, still no patch was ready, and no date is being released

Achievement glitches, MANY MANY people are doing what the achievements require only to have that achievement unlock 25 mins to 3 hours to 3 days later out of the blue... OR.... NOT AT ALL!

==================
FINAL THOUGHTS
==================

THIS is a very fun game, but also an annoying one due to the save and freeze issues and the glitches... HOWEVER its worth the rent and play because its so fun overall... I'd say give it a shot

The game is ok, maybe if I still in high school or in Jr. High the game would appeal to me, I just don't feel or see the humor in Bully. Maybe if Rockstar made a Bully: college edition, now that would be sick. This game is for 12 or 17 year old kids who think everything is funny, but for the older crowd you'll get bored fast. I have other games that are rated T for teens that I love playing, but Bully didn't do it for me. I'm not anti-teen or anything, this game review is for the older guys and girls you know the 20 something people.
