The key to enjoying the game really is getting the hang of how the game works and then getting those beefier missions rolling. Bully truly is one of the better games to come out of Rockstar in quite awhile.

Bully is all about choices and making something out of a bad situation. It’s also a really great game full of humor and believable characters. I recommend it highly.

Bully: Scholarship Edition é aquele tipo de jogo que não precisa ser gigantesco para marcar. Com 25 horas jogadas e a campanha zerada, dá para perceber que ele entrega uma experiência bem completa: história fechadinha, mundo aberto divertido e aquele humor ácido clássico da Rockstar.Você joga como Jimmy Hopkins, um protagonista problemático, mas carismático, tentando sobreviver à rotina caótica da escola Bullworth. O mais legal é que o jogo transforma algo simples, como ir para aula, andar pelo pátio, arrumar briga, fazer missões e explorar a cidade, em uma experiência muito divertida.A campanha é um dos pontos fortes. Ela tem um ritmo bom, personagens marcantes e várias situações absurdas que fazem o jogo ter identidade própria. Mesmo sendo mais antigo, Bully ainda tem um charme que muitos jogos atuais não conseguem copiar. Cada grupo da escola — valentões, nerds, atletas, riquinhos e greasers — ajuda a deixar o ambiente vivo e engraçado.A jogabilidade é simples, mas funciona bem. As brigas são fáceis de entender, as missões são variadas e as aulas dão uma quebrada legal na rotina. Algumas mecânicas envelheceram, principalmente movimentação, câmera e alguns minigames, mas nada que estrague a experiência. Na verdade, parte dessa “idade” acaba virando charme.O mundo aberto não é enorme, mas é muito bem aproveitado. Bullworth parece pequena comparada a outros jogos da Rockstar, mas tem personalidade. Sempre tem alguma coisa para fazer: coletáveis, corridas, aulas, missões secundárias, roupas, pegadinhas e exploração. Para 25 horas, você provavelmente viu bastante coisa, mas ainda pode ter sobrado conteúdo extra caso queira completar mais.Graficamente, Scholarship Edition mostra a idade, mas a direção artística segura bem. O visual de escola decadente, os personagens caricatos e a trilha sonora combinam perfeitamente com a proposta. A música, inclusive, é um dos detalhes que mais ajudam a criar a atmosfera única do jogo.Nota final: 10/10

A friend of mine advised me to play this game and, oh boy, I did not at all expect how GOOD it was going to be. A classic Rockstar experience which perfectly captured the wackiness of my childhood/teenhood with its absurd story while perfectly balancing it with a fun gameplay. I also absolutely love the amount of detail put into the characters, each random dialogue or location hides many secrets that push the viewer to fully understand the complexity of the world (I'm sure I'm still missing something from it, aha.). My only criticism is that there was a point in the game (the final chapter) which clearly got rushed in production. Besides that, I'm not exaggerating when I say I've experienced it now on different platforms (the original PS2 remains the best one, of course), for how much fun it is. Truly, I'm glad my friend advised me on this one!

Its regimented take on open-world gaming is surprisingly well handled, and Hopkins' quest to put order to what is the Wild West of education, has been built with enough loving care that players will be compelled to follow it to its natural conclusion.

Bully raises the bar concerning what a video game should be about and what it is capable of saying. This is a fine experience no gamer should miss.
86
Admittedly there are no truly grave punishments in the game, but the violence is often more comical than serious anyway.

Given the subject matter, the game deserves its 15 rating but not a parliamentary debate.

Bully is the same product I’ve already consumed four-plus times before, and an interesting thematic twist isn’t enough reason to sing its praises.

This game is amazing!! I absolutely love the 60s vibe it gives off. They say it takes place around 2005/2006, but the atmosphere doesn’t feel like the 21st century at all—it has a strong 20th-century feel instead. The soundtrack is incredible, the GTA-like vibe is just perfect, and the story is fantastic. I first discovered this game back in 2011/13

AKA Canis Canem Edit, the Rockstar formula goes to school in this hybrid of Grange Hill and Grand Theft Auto. As playable as the other GTA games on the console, but the one single environment obviously has a lot less scope and variety.

what the hell is this what was I playing!!!. this is got to be one of the dumbest games that Rockstar ever developed. the graphics are so ugly even for a game released in 2006 just look at the character models it's gross, the story is weird the whole concept is just dumb playing as a kid in school and bullying people or stop the bullying or whatever you are doing in the game it's just so stupid, the taking over the school part made me cringe and roll my eyes the characters are weird and the dialogues are very cringey and the whole story is just stupid as hell.
The gameplay at least can be fun the beat em mechanics are fine and running around causing chaos is fun but it gets old very quickly, yes the map gets bigger but there's nothing you do other than changing your character appearance and the class minegame thing is lame and half of the missions are boring, but where the hell is this stupid idea came from " kissing girls can boost your health" what kinda game is this ,, in gta a hot coffee mode and then they came up with this stupid idea what kinda company Rockstar are trying to be WTH the problem is a lot of those games sold very high and a lot kids are playing it, maybe some kids have played bully and learned how to be disrespectful bullying and abusive maniacs, but at least from a gameplay standpoint it's a masterpiece compared to san andreas.
