    Last night, I picked up this game, Bully from Rockstar, the guys behind the GTA series. It is a lot of fun and a fresh approach to a videogame. It also is much much more streamlined than GTA.

    How cool is Bully? I accidentally hit a girl, and she promptly kicks me in the nuts.

    Lol heard about this game on the news, and saw the reactions of the parents towards the game. Saying how influencial games can be these days.

    Yeah, just as much as how influential parents can be....of course they always need to look to blame someone else.

    Bully has been compared to River City Ransom (NES/GBA).
    This game is a lot of fun, The Prefects in the game are red dots on your radar. When you are supposed to be in class, the Prefects look for you and have a effect much alike in Metal Gear Solid where you could see the enemie's view and line of sight, and avoid it accordingly. Bully also has some pretty tight fighting engine controls, and I hope Rockstar is making something along the likes of this or better than this for GTA4.

    In all honesty I think GTA is the most over-rated game around (especially San Andreas).

    I do agree GTA are good games but I think they are made out to be a lot better then they really are.

    Man, I love River City Ransom (role playing game + double dragon type fighting game). I should look for Bully then.

    When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was going to be about the movie Bully... which if u don't already know, is probably the most perverted movie ever made.

    As for the game, never heard of it (not really in-the-know when it comes to video games).... but if it's anything like river city ransom, then i'm sold.

    Bully is easily one of the best games I've played this year, and I think it's the best Rockstar game yet (and I'm a huge SA fan). It's a lot different than anything they've ever done, and they nail the school element right on the head. Plus, the game is hilarious. The dialogue is funny and a lot of the things you can do are great. Shoving kids in trashcans, kneeing someone in the nuts, giving a wedgie, all great fun.

    I saw the commercial and it looked corny. It looked babyish but I was wondering why it was rated 15.

There's a whole lot of different things you can do and this is a lot different than any other game done by Rockstar. It's worth the buy if you ask me.

    So is this game coming out for XBox? I spent all this cash on buying a 360, and then getting it fixed after my friend decided to get back at me for something by smashing it up, and now I can't even get the latest games?

    I may be wrong, but it seems like it's just on PS2, because that's what all the commercials advertise it for.

    It's just on a PS2. No news yet on whether it'll hit XBOX at a later date.

    I was looking to see if this game was on PC, but it doesn't seem to be coming out for PC. I want to play this game, but I sold my ps2 last year. I want to get a PS3, but I don't know if I want to spend $600 for it.

    I might as well just get a PS2 again w/ Bully.

    Oh, is this game multiplayer by any chance? Not that it matters.

    I think I'll wait to see if someone else gets and it see what it's like. If I like it, I'll probably buy it second hand. Speaking of Rockstar, I started San Andreas again.

    I love playing GTA: SA. I had it for my PS2 before i sold it, then I bought it again for PC. I might start up again myself.

    I've always preferred Vice City to SA. Not necessarily the gameplay, but I like the setting in that game more.
