Bully is a PS2 dream for gamers and is a game that is indeed the only 'true' brother of Grand Theft Auto.
The fighting system is indeed expanded and phenomenal. You will have a variety of punches, kicks, and grapples to use while you fight. You will be able to learn more while you progress or bring radio transmittors to some hobo that used to be a Navy S.E.A.L.. Each move or combo has it's own button order so if you forget, just bring up the menu and look at the Moves List for them. You will not only be fighting with fists and kicks, you will use weapons either that you own, or find in the enviornment. You can use them freely. I suggest using them when you are either facing jocks, preps or leaders.
When you play the game for a long enough time, you will get used to the map in the game. You will have multiple places to explore like a carnival or a boxing club. So it is cool that you will not only have to stay inside the schoolyard the entire game. You will meet adults, cops, town thugs, and truancy officers otuside of school grounds.
Missions in the game do a good job from being so repetetive. You will be exploring everywhere doing these taks or missions you were assigned. Whether it is in the nerds Observatory or the Girls Dorm, you will be doing missions everywhere. It will also be easy to find missions on the indicator on your mini-map.
There are some things that aren't major, but fun to hear about. You will have the oppurtunity to change you apperance so you are not always in the same uniform. You will also have to remember that there are girls in the school that would love to make out with you. Look out for missing class, or the prefects will be on your... Never mind. One last thing is that if you hit authority, little kids, adults, or girls, AUTHORITY WILL COME OUT OF PLACES YOU NEVER HAVE EVEN SEEN IN THE GAME BEFORE!!!!
Anyway, it was an interesting game indeed. I recommend it to GTA owners or fans because this is practically it's twin brother.
