This changes how they treat you on and off school grounds. Completing the main missions of Bully (which tally a considerable number) earn or lose the respect of certain cliques. Work through the first few hours and soon enough the gates of the Academy open up, the combat becomes more enjoyable and the bullies take your side. This can interrupt and even ruin some missions, which becomes frustrating when just getting into the groove of a game. In fact, quite often you will be assaulted by bullies who start fights anytime they see you daring to walk down the halls towards class. Though befriended by the psychopathic Gary upon your arrival, the various cliques (including the nerds) would rather beat you senseless than give you the time of day. You're limited to school grounds, have almost no fighting combos, few weapons, and everyone hates your guts just because you're the new kid. The first chapter is your initiation into Bullworth Academy and as such, the gates of the school are locked. If you pick up Scholarship Edition, don't be hasty to trade it back in after the first hour. The first chapter of Bully is also the worst. There are classes to ditch, prefects and cops to avoid and an entire town to explore. It's a rough year as Jimmy must negotiate the social strata of the various cliques in school (bullies, nerds, jocks, preppies, greasers) and out of school (townies). Bully takes us through Jimmy's first year at Bullworth Academy. After his mother and latest step-father dump him in a corrupt boarding school just outside the town of Bullworth, Jimmy must find a way to go from social pariah to schoolyard hero. You play as Jimmy Hopkins, a 15-year-old delinquent who's been expelled from seven other schools. This is an angst-filled game a light-hearted simulation of the horrors of high school. Imagine if John Hughes made an open-world videogame starring John Bender, the thug from The Breakfast Club, and you should have a pretty good idea of the tone for Bully. That doesn't mean there isn't plenty of mayhem (and violence) in Bully, just that it's not a GTA clone. Assault an officer of the law and you don't get a 6-star wanted rating - you get busted. There's no blood, no guns, no boosting of cars. Though developed by Rockstar, makers of the Congressional-favorite Grand Theft Auto series, Bully is a T-rated game. Bully: Scholarship Edition polishes the graphics, adds a handful of new missions and delivers a unique and thoroughly charming experience on Xbox 360. So it is likely that the majority of 360 owners never gave Rockstar's open-world angst-ridden game a shot.
After all, the next generation of gaming had begun.
When Bully arrived on PlayStation 2 a year-and-a-half ago, quite a number of people ignored it.
