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.

 Rating:  - Fun and captivatingWhile I definitely won't let my five-year-old play this game for another ten years or so, I'm hooked. Being able to "live" the life of a character and control what he does is right down my alley, and the kind of game I really enjoy. I would prefer it without the physical violence, but it's not enough to keep me from playing this game after the kids have gone to bed. Rating: - Is Bully Worth the Money?Yes! I purchased this game (I'm an adult female of 24 years old) and I have yet to put it down. Here's some pros and cons for the readers of this review... Pros: #1. This game is one of the few that really make you think. I was a fan of Grand Theft Auto IV as well but while this could be a long distance relative to that game, Bully has a bit more than your regular shooting and killing game. As Jimmy, you have to go to the classes in order to graduate the school. Now, I've ... Read More Rating: - Not Quite What It Seems to BeThe problem with creating titles for a game is that often the game itself gets pigeon-holed simply from its titled. Take Bully. Now, reading the title, you'd automatically think that the game is about beating up people. Wrong. Yes, you definitely beat up people, but often you are doing so on behalf of other people. You're plunked down into this school of natural-born hellions and are supposed to fend for yourself. Instead, as Jimmy you often end up fending for the less-liked ... Read More Rating: - Fun game!This game has me laughing out loud and having a blast. It loses a half a star, however, for the game control. It's not easy to turn yourself around like it is with Scarface. I disagree with the other person who has moral issues with this game. Personally I love violent games because they mellow me out and make me non-violent and peaceful in real life, since I've gotten out my aggression with the game. Rating: - Fills the GTA void on the Wii.I bought this game when GTA4 was coming out on other consoles because I had a hankering to play some GTA. Although this game is not as ridiculously violent as GTA, it's a lot of fun and has a great story line. It is easily as much fun as any GTA that I've played. |
