    Bully's most negative technical aspect is the in-game camera, which lags behind action and just cannot cope with corridors or quick changes of direction.

    A wonderful presentation and spurts of youthful fun could not curb the boredom a Swiss cheese, overly nostalgic storyline and "I've done this before but with more violence" gameplay handed to me.

    While some of the gameplay concepts feel familiar, the theme, writing and setting really wraps it up well and makes it worthy of spending some free time with.

    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.

    Oh man, good memories :')

    This game gives you the feel of the school, the diversity was awesome.
    And the feeling when you go to chapter 2 and you realize the gate gets opened, and YOU CAN CRUISE IN THE WHOLE MAP!

    I don't know what's with RockStar and carnivals, but IT IS AWESOME!
    So many weapons, so many characters with their own name, everyone has special voices!
    This game is WAAAAY ahead of its time.    … Full Review »
