Bully for PlayStation 2 Reviews by Gamers

First things first, everyone wants to comare this game to Grand Theft Auto. If you're wondering if this game is better or at least as good as the latest heap of Grand Theft Auto games, the simple answer is "yes".

Yes, it's very similar to the Grand Theft Auto formula in that you can run around an enormous (and I do mean ENORMOUS) game world and do seemingly random tasks at your own free will without affecting the story itself.

Sound boring? Then you probably don't like the Grand Theft Auto games either.

Let's put it this way, if you liked the Grand Theft Auto games enough to buy two or more of them, my advice is to buy or rent this game----the formula may be similar, but the world itself is much more immersive and engaging. The random tasks in some of the Grand Theft Auto games (San Andreas in particular) seemed REALLY random and almost pointless, even if they were kinda fun.

But that's where Bully moves forward-------the tasks in the game, no matter how seemingly random, are also connected to some sort of goal that seems so legitimate to your character and his experiences in the game world.

If you're like me though, the GTA series was starting to feel old, worn-out (even if they are/were fun). So I was aprehensive about Bully, and even a little pessimistic perhaps? It takes a lot to surprise me, but I can't deny how much fun I've had with this game. I've played nearly 25 hours already, which says a lot to its addictiveness and size, especially for me.
