User Rating: 8.5 | Bully: Scholarship Edition X360
By jirf | Review Date:
The game bully was originally released only for the PS2, but the makers (Rockstar, who make the GTA series) decided to release a new version for the Xbox360 which features and explores new themes and levels. Not much differentiates this edition from the core game, only a few extra minigames and levels have been added in. the game isn't perfect either, it doesn't utilize the Xbox360s true potential, but this is still an enjoyable game, especially for those who don't get up to mischief at school and would like to give it a try.

Gameplay:
The gameplay in Bully: scholarship edition is very interesting, it explores many ways of returning to childhood or causing mischief without actually killing anyone, the level of mayhem varies from egging cars to blowing up toilets, which is always fun. What else bully incorporates that other games don't, are performing these minigames which are actually classes, these classes have all the subjects incorporated into them and reward you as you actually get a good mark in it, this edition has also added some new classes, such as bike shop and chemistry. What game about bullies cant let you bully people, not this one, you also have the opportunity to bully people into submission, embarrass them, compliment them, or start a relationship with them, you also can stand up for the victims by beating up other bullies, the story is actually based around this concept, thus dawns the name "bully". The story revolves around you gaining respect from the different varieties of people you encounter in the game, this can get tedious, but the game explores many ways of approaching this factor as well as making each mission interesting and different.

Graphics/sound:
The graphics, as I said before, aren't perfect, but which freeform game does have perfect graphics? The sound and soundtrack were as good as they were in the previous game which is quite good, all the songs are original and the voice acting is also something to be noticed, especially when there are dozens of extremely interesting characters in the game.

Overall/value:
This game is not to be bought for full price if you already own the previous edition, it is aimed to be bought by people who haven't yet played this game, so it would be a waste of money if you already own the previous game, for anyone else this game will give you many hours of game time, but should just be bought for fun not for serious hardcore gaming, because it is quite easy. Overall a unique game worthy of anyone's collection, very amusing, very different, very well done.
