    Horrible graphics, lacking plot line, bad character developement is what makes this horrible game an outcast of all Rockstars products. And whats sad, is i heard number 2 is coming. OH GOD NO! Please do not buy this trash of a game. Use the money on obscure 1 or 2, gta IV, or something decent.

    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 sowhat 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.    … Expand

    Another timeless game and one of the best of its generation, this game is on par with Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves and Devil May Cry 3. Everything about it is awesome, fresh, and revolutionary, with no discernible flaws. It's a true masterpiece that sets a new standard for gaming. It would be great to see Rockstar create something new and fresh like Bully and continue pushing the boundariesAnother timeless game and one of the best of its generation, this game is on par with Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves and Devil May Cry 3.

    The first few minutes of Bully are claustrophobic and off-putting, but as soon as you and Jimmy settle in, the game becomes surprisingly endearing.

    Immaculately designed and an absolute joy to play through. The best game of the year so far. [Dec 2006, p.22]

    Characters are brilliant parodies of people we all know from school - the fat kid who smells of wee, the flirty art teacher, geeks who greet you with the word "salutations." The attention to detail and the jokes are what makes it so good, along with its "GTA"-like gameplay. [Dec 2006, p.80]
