Despite some glitches for the 360 version, I would still recomend everyone play at least one version of this game
The graphics are decent, they do feel like an updated PS2 game, and comapred to things like Portal or Kameo, the graphics in Bully are almost awful, but given that I was still drawn into the world, I must've clearly forgiven the graphics at some point...
The sound is a highlight here, the voice acting is both witty and hilarious, and very well done. The music matches the mood of the game and theres really little that will annoy anyone (then again, the preppies chase music annoyed me). Still, I could probably count the number of games I've played with better voice acting than this on one hand, its very well done.
The gameplay is definatly servicable, it works to be sure and its fairly logical. I had a little difficulty given that I played this game when I had only had my 360 for 4 months (and had never owned an Xbox), in particular during some of the classes, but gameplay isn't bad. At the very least, it will never make the game unplayable to the end, and given the story and characters, you'll want to.
Now, I didn't get the patch for this game (no LIVE access), and I did indeed experince several "issues" that make me think that another 2 months in development could've fixed:
I cannot beat Chemistry 5, not because I'm unfamilar with the 360 controller (I'm not THAT unfamiliar with it, but I'm definatly more familar with the ps2 and gcn controllers), but because of a glitch.
In one section of New Coventry, I constantly got the same graphics and sound breakups. It was very annoying and I feared the game would freeze every time.
I had the game freeze one time: during the challenge "Making a Mark", which is towards the end of the game. It didn't freeze the second time I played the mission.
pros: story, character, script, setting, immserion, music, voice acting
cons: the glitches I mentioned above for the curious, too short
Still, even if you avoid this version, you should still play one of the other available versions. Its still a great game with a lot of charm that should not be missed!
