    A top-notch game when it was released, good old days, It brings me good memories, I just feel bad about how Rockstar Games has become since 2018.

    I'm still waiting for the second game, even though I know it's never coming.

    The game of my teenhood. I always thought this was so much better than GTA (it was more lighthearted - as crazy as it is to say Bully is lighthearted) and Jimmy Hopkins kinda helped me to stand my foot against schools bullies from there on. Great freaking game! Played the PC port later in my life, but it was still as good as i remember the PS2 version - and with some more content.

    This game is filled with Rockstar’s fun gameplay, satirical humor and attention to detail - 9/10

    PLS ROCKSTAR I AM BEGGING YOU MAKE A SEQUEL OR REMAKE... This game is still great you can just play it not that its bad that i seek those things i mentioned. All i ask for is more ''bully'' i hope gta money starts to shrink day by day so they have to make other titles to earn more.

    For me the game that changed my life. It is controversial, that is why it is full of haters, but they are not right because the poor unfortunate people lacked a childhood. #MAKEBULLY2

    An open-world game from Rockstar in which you're allowed to skate, beat kids, kiss girls and do all the mischief you could never do in your school. Bullworth Academy run by Dr. Crabblesnitch truly prepares you for a successful life ahead.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. graphics for its time are solid. love the concept, fun story and cool characters. open world map is always welcomed but does feel a little unnecessary / underutilized at times. the main villain, gary, is a super interesting character who disappears for no reason during 90% of the game, and his return for the final battle is extremely easy and underwhelming. still a fun game though, have beaten it twice (very many years apart). (rockstar also did a terrible job making sure the carnival ran smoothly lmao)… Expand

    Bully was one of my favourite videogames when I was a kid. To this day, I can still play and have fun playing it.

    The "teenager" GTA where everyone got it wrong, the idea was not to practice BULLY but to face him

    Bully Review

    I don't mind the graphics at all. It manages the world for today and the separation of regions is a beautiful thing. The story is average but gripping. The biggest feature that makes this game stand out is that it has a lot of gameplay mechanics, we do something different in almost every mission and we do it outside of the mission. There's too much to do. But this    Bully Review

    But this ROCKSTAR's pc ports are very bad, 3 points are broken from here.
    TRY THIS GAME FOR A TIME
    If you are going to play the game, definitely install the 60 fps mod!!!    … Expand

    História é meio ;-------------; mesmo assim tive mais vontade de jogar o modo história do que cometer terrorismo.
    Porém, todavia, entretanto, o que realmente me fez gostar e torna esse meu favorito quando se trata de jogos da pedra estrela jogo, foi sua jogabilidade, mecânica, física (embora física não tem muito, eu gosto da movimentação e pulo).

    For the computer, sometimes there are bugs in the game, for the story and I like it at school, so 8 points from me, 2 points.

    The base game's promising premise and interesting characters are too often drowned out by terrible control schemes and optimization problems of the Scholarship Edition.

    This somewhat of a "PG-13 GTA" works surprisingly well and I'd love to see a sequel.

    I classify the game with a seven because the pc edition has too many crashes and the rockstar patches do not work XD or at least not for the purpose they are made since this happens mainly in windows 10 but in other windows it does not work so bad apart only that's why I classify it with a seven but ignoring that it is the best edition since it is the most complete edition of the gamesI classify the game with a seven because the pc edition has too many crashes and the rockstar patches do not work XD or at least not for the purpose they are made since this happens mainly in windows 10 but in other windows it does not work so bad apart only that's why I classify it with a seven but ignoring that it is the best edition since it is the most complete edition of the games with more class more teachers obviously and some new missions and that is more entertaining if you come from the ps2 or ps3 editions since Surely you had not played them ignoring the crashes I classify it with a 10… Expand

    Мне действительно игра на удивление понравилась. Хотя первые 4 мне навивали скуку и я был не удовлетворен, но потом въехал и было по кайфу. Сюжет звезд с небес не хватает, но за историей гг было интересно наблюдать и изучать. Сам геймплей очень напоминает всем известную серию, поэтому было кайфово играть и развлекаться.

А еще дико бесило управление на джостике, какое-то рвано что ли, притом еще и камера из-за таких моментах куда-то отлетает и непонятно куда направляться, особенно это видно в ластецкой миссии. И оптимизация это вообще ужас в некоторых моментах fps падал чуть ли не 5, и это на топовом компе. Еще из минусов, возможно только для меня это уж легкая она, ни на одной миссии толком и не потел.… Expand

    Bully's biggest problem is that it's a shoddy port job, rife with technical missteps that wouldn't warrant comment if they weren't so profoundly damaging to the game.

    Uninspired classroom minigames and PC-specific porting and performance problems continue to frustrate our experience with the game, but never so much that we weren't willing to load it back up again to uncover the next chapter of the story.

    Welcome to Bullworth Academy, a melting pot of high school stereotypes. Outsiders are making plans to rule the world, teachers terrorize their pupils, sports aces and rock 'n rollers try to impress the girls while the posh students wrinkle their nose. While the GTA-style game itself is well done, the technical conversion to the PC is a bit sloppy. Should you ever be asked why video games are a cultural asset, show them Bully.
