Bully Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bully may very well be one of the most controversial games of all time simply based on the fact that Rockstar made it.With only a name to their game, it was turning heads.People feared the worst.Mostly that the game would be as violent as Grand Theft Auto, but in a high school setting.

Let me set some minds at ease.There are no guns.The game doesn't even have any blood.Also, you can't kill anyone.Lastly, violence is rather discouraged.

You do not play the Bully.Instead you assume the role of Jimmy Hopkins, a boy trying to survive at Bullworth Academy. He's basically your run of the mill student. Your task inside the school is the same as they are for just about every student in high school. Pass your classes and stay out of trouble. Going to class actually is enforced for a time. Your classes are mini-games that you'll play.You're allowed to try and ditch class but there are consequences for not going. However, in this game you'll want to go to class just because participating in said class is actually fun, and can improve your skills. The mini games are fun and addictive. After a while it's no longer enforced, which I actually found rather sad. The aspect of going to class doesn't get nearly enough attention, but the mechanic works.

Outside of class, however, is where the game really begins to shine. If you're familiar with the gameplay of Grand Theft Auto, then you'll easily adapt to Bully. For starters, each and every student at Bullworth Academy has a unique personality. You'll make friends and you'll make enemies.The missions are fun and quite an experience. The game is original. Even better, the story sequences are filled to the brim with humor, quite simply it's one of the funniest games I've played.

In addition, you can also venture outside of the school. Jimmy can get a job to help him buy food and other things, and he's able to help people around town do some of their errands and chores as well.You'll also be able to date, go play some arcade games and plenty more.All the things most high school students do.

Jimmy isn't without a mischief. He's got a slingshot, a bat and a few other things he can use. Again, you can't kill anyone with these things, and eventually the objects will break anyway.Besides, if you beat up a kid, you have to serve detention.Part of the point of the game really is staying out of trouble.

The game also takes on a more realistic feel. There's a clock in the corner that shows you what time it is. If you're caught wandering around the school after hours there are consequences. If you stay out too late, you'll actually get tired and fall asleep.

The game looks and sounds brilliant. Fantastic voice acting really brings the story to life. The game also has some great visuals.The school and environments look astonishing.

Bully is a great game to be sure.It's almost like an interactive teenage drama come to life.A lot of the game is humorous and fun.But most importantly, it isn't Grand Theft Auto and it does stand on its own.
