I really enjoyed Bully for the first 10 hours or so. Unlocking new bikes to ride and new weapons to use on classmates is a lot of fun. I thought the idea of attending classes added a lot to the experience. Bullworth comes alive as everyone around you makes comments about you, themselves and everyone else. The game progresses through completing various mini stories, tasks or challenges. You can alter your clothing and hairstyle a few hours in. I wound up with a white Fedora, white dress shirt and slacks, but that was after the hoodie and ball cap. Difficulty was fairly easy except for the boxing challenges, which took a great deal of sweat and retrys. Using the Wii controls as your fists makes this game shine, as you are usually pummeling someone most of the time. The storyline was fairly good, opening up more of the world outside the school. I enjoyed the chapters dealing with the school itself more than I did some of the later ones, but I think perhaps the formula begins to get a little threadbare after about 10 hours or so. I can't say this is a classic game, but it definitely has enough going for it that I can recommend it if you're looking for something new, something different.
