Good

Amusing title from Rockstar

Bully is a silly, entertaining little game. It looks like and plays similarly to Grand Theft Auto, but has a sort of innocence to it. The school classes (mini-games) are amusing, and the fighting/bullying system are fun and funny. The language in the game may be a little harsh for a Teen rated game, but as an adult, I use far harsher language (and did back when I was 15). As with GTA, expect a lack-luster ending. Most of the game is incredible easy, with only a couple frustrating missions. All in all, Bully is worth a rental, but lacks the depth and replay value to be an owner.

Excellent

So much more than a toned-down version of GTA

Sure, the comparisons between Bully and other Rockstar games will abound. And rightly so. All the mischief and authority-dodging mayhem of the GTA games is here. The highly original story arcs, seemingly infinite variety of side missions and mini-games, ginormous open-ended world, humorous dialogue and incredible voice acting that are the signature of the R-Star crew are all here. Heck, the interaction of the various cliques in and around Bullworth Academy becomes an all-too appropriate allusion to gang warfare. In essence this is Teen-rated Grand Theft Auto, and in no way is that a reason to avoid it.

In lieu of carjacking, rocket launchers, prostitutes, and decapitation, Bully offers skateboarding, slingshots, make-out sessions and humiliation. And good golly is it ever fun. The day I got this game in the mail, the whole rest of the day was completely gone. It's that addicting. And to think I was a good kid in high school!

There's only one reason you should not rent this game: You're a concerned parent and your young child shows hints of becoming like the "hero" of this game. By all means keep this game from your kid's hands and give him a hug for crying out loud. Then rent it anyway and play it yourself. You will have fun.

i have scarface and bully right now, and i really dont know which one i will send back first.. bully is very fun, my wife even watched me play for 5 or 10 min. and said it was cute, so she doesnt mind me playing it. but the gameplay is very fun, and the minigames for going to class is fun. i enjoy being a bully to the bullies, and being a ladies man. overall just a great game, i think i would buy this one before i buy scarface, and im a hardcore fan of scarface, so that says alot about this game.
