Out of 5 stars, this game deserved 5 stars. On a 1 to 10 scale, I would give it a 8.5-9.0. This game is awesome, but definitely not for all ages. Why not? Bully elements, language, etc. I like games that shine with orinality, because let's face it: We don't need 50,000 shooters that are Halo-clones (or 1 Halo for that matter). This game is quite addictive. Very few games exibit that same "do not put that controller down." This game is stinkin' hilarious too. Everything just meshes together and comes off like a TV comedy show. A couple of glitches here and there, and I rolled the credits with only 60% complete. Side quests are easy to miss, partly due to the fact that you don't know if a task is going to continue the story or just be a task. After doing several tasks, it was Christmas before I knew it, and several tasks that I hadn't done were no longer available. You are free to do just about anything you want, punch out car windows as you fly past them on your bike, throw eggs at cops (not recommended!), bully, insult, beg, borrow, and steal. Very few games can actually pull off the "it's good being bad," not that it is a difficult concept...but they general are just lame games. Final verdict: I like to take time with my games, to enjoy them. I believe Bully took me about 15 hours from start to credits. It also is worth (at least) a second play-through.Read full review
I'm not your typical "sit in front of the video console for hours" kind of guy. I leave that to my 17 and 15 year old sons. But something about this game intrigued me. Role playing without all the shoot-em-up, kill or be killed atmosphere. Admittedly, I beat up more kids than I would have thought, but it was mostly due to the fact that they pestered me, so I guess they had it coming to them. :) But the narrative and the tasks related to the narrative are what really got me totally engrossed. It took me over 26 hours of play time to reach the conclusion of the story and now am in "Endless Summer" where I can now work to complete tasks and gather items I didn't during the story. Bully is not for the young child. With a "T" rating, that should be obvious. With its fighting, sexual references, alcohol abuse and other topics that I wouldn't let my kids see if they were under the age of 13. I found the stereotypes of the Preppies, Nerds, Jocks, and "Greasers" (I would have called them Punks, but that's just me) to be a great blend of truth and humor. So grown-ups, if you're looking for something that is along the lines of what your kids are playing but don't want to kill someone with a sniper rifle from 100 yards away, then Bully may be the silly, fun diversion for you. My 15 year old son, who though I was nuts for buying this game, watched me play and thought that it was a heckuva lot more engaging and fun than he thought.... Ahh, the joys of being a parent. :)Read full review
Bully. What can I say about Bully. I have always enjoyed Rockstar titles, and Bully did not disappoint. I could go on and on about this, but I will make it short and sweet: any game that allow you to choose "tighty whities" for in game clothing gets a thumbs up in my book. With a pretty good storyline, Rockstar's free-wheeling game engine, plenty of side missions to complete, and enough gameplay to keep you busy for weeks, Bully is a winner... not to mention that if used properly, you can teach your kids to not be bullies with this game.
This is a good game on every platform. The Wii version has some extra features that make it even better.

This game is becoming a favorite fast in our household. I purchased it for my boyfriend (35) and his interest seems to be kept easily. In Bully you play a boy who runs around trying to pass the usual school classes, English, Gym, Science, Music, Chemistry and Art. You also have punishment duties or fun missions outside of school when you are granted access off of the fenced in private school. Great game to blow off steam to if you have had "One of those days."
