Video Game Reviews of Bully: Scholarship Edition

Customer Review: Great use of the Wii
Summary: 5 Stars

I heard about this game for the PS2 and that it was pretty fun, but since I had never owned a PS2 I had to wait til I got a Wii to buy it. I bought it blindly without ever trying it, just noticing that Rockstar (GTA-maker) had made it and reading a few online reviews.

The game is great. There is so much to do whether you go to class or not. There are tons of missions and minigames as well as just following the actual story, which for me, is impossible to do so far because wandering off and doing what I want can be addicting.

One of the best things about this game is the controls. The game makes great use of the Wii sensor on the Wiimote/nunchuk as you actually use the controllers to punch (think WiiSports boxing) as well as other uses like uppercut punches, shaking to get teachers off of you, shoving a bully, performing tasks in class, etc. It makes the game really interactive and fun.

The availability to interact with most objects is a huge plus, as you can hide in trashcans (from angry teachers or bullies), pull fire alarms, use your chemistry set to make firecrackers, etc., buy pop from a pop machine, hide in lockers/girls' closets... the list is endless.

If you like games with tons of freedom and a great story and you haven't played the original Bully, buy this. The controls are a huge plus too. If you have played the PS2 Bully, I hear it's nearly the same, with a few extra missions and characters.

Description of Bully: Scholarship Edition

You're a mischievous schoolboy at Bullworth Academy, and you stand up to bullies, get picked on by teachers, play pranks, and win or lose the girl. You are15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins, a teenager who's been expelled from every school he's ever attended. After your mother abandoned you at the New England boarding school to go on her fifth honeymoon, you have a whole year at Bullworth ahead of you. You have to work your way up the social ladder of this demented institution of supposed learning, stand up for what you think is right and take on the liars, cheats and snobs who are the most popular members of the student body and faculty. If you can survive the school year and outsmart you rivals, you could rule the school.

Faster frame speed makes the game smoother and more responsive Recreated and updated over 3000 textures and character models by hand Improved full screen effects, including dynamic glow FX, improved depth of field, and heat and fire FX Textures uprezzed by 2x or more on Wii with a wider spectrum of colors and detail More pedestrians and vehicles are able to load at once which improves the visual variety of the game Wii controls provide a more interactive way of playing the missions and classes Mini-games, including classes are easily accessible through the menu system
Retaining the wit and deep gameplay of the previously released PS2 Bully title, Bully: Scholarship Edition takes place in the fictional New England boarding school of Bullworth Academy and tells the story of 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins as he experiences the highs and lows of adjusting to a new school. Capturing the hilarity and awkwardness of adolescence perfectly, Bully: Scholarship Edition pulls the player into its cinematic and engrossing world set in the most vile and sadistic setting yet in a Rockstar videogame: the schoolyard. Laugh and cringe as you stand up to bullies, get picked on by teachers, play pranks on malicious kids, win or lose the girl, and ultimately learn to navigate the obstacles of the fictitious Bullworth Academy.
