GC '07: Bully: Scholarship Edition Impressions

Bully: Scholarship Edition won't be free for a handful of extremely promising students, though it may be taken away from you if your grades slip. It will also bring one of the PlayStation 2's best titles to the Wii and Xbox 360, as mentioned in the brief trailer that was playing in the Rockstar area at the Leipzig Games Convention 2007.

The trailer seemed to be pulling footage from the Wii version of the game because the graphics were very close to what we saw in the PS2 version. All the kids and cliques from the original returned. Their threats, taunts and kisses, all the minigames, and various diversions were on display as well, from basketball and go-karts to Frisbee.

If you played the original on the PS2, then you do not have to skip class to play Bully: Scholarship edition. But if you haven't seen this schoolyard adventure from the master game crafters at Rockstar, attendance for playing either the Wii or Xbox 360 version will be practically mandatory when they hit shelves in the fourth quarter of this year.
