    In my opinion, this game gives you a great and memorable experience, personally my favorite Rockstar game, it has moments where it doesn't make sense, and still, you enjoy it, I recommend it in all aspects

    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!

    It's more than a GTA with bikes (although in some sense it's an autoparody of those games). Has it's own soul, with a likeable kid who is angry with the world (and doesn't know why) and thinks he's the smartest guy in school (and he's not). I love it. Even with it's flaws (a weak plot, for example), at the end of the day it's a funny multi-layered experience with lots of things to do and collect.

Actually the main character puts the bullies into their place. The story is about the 15 year James Hopkins nicknamed Jimmy who is sent to the infamous boarding school Bullworth Academy. As new kid he has a bad standing and the school is not for the weak. He will however not stay at the bottom. I stop here to avoid spoilers. The story is excellent and relatable. Jimmy is an unpolished diamond and has a lot of character growth. All characters are fitting and genuine. You can relate to the story and characters. Gameplay wise it is an open world game but not all parts are open to you at the beginning. You have the school life, quests, minigames and mission. As you progress through the story you unlock more stuff. There is a lot to collect, buy and do. Think a bit like the Grand Theft Auto games but in school minus the crimes, violence and other things too overburdened for the setting. For example your weapons are stink bombs, fire crackers and itching powder. I like the gameplay as much as the story. You have always stuff to do, explore, collect or fight your way to the top. The presentation is nice but I think aged a bit. Lets say it was good for its time. While other reported about bugs I did not have any serious issues. Overall this was a surprisingly great game and won me over. I am hoping for a sequel or remake since many years.… Expand

    The graphics are obviously outdated but for its released time probably it was one of the best.

    The combat system for me is better than any GTA. I like way more that use the bare hands and non-lethal weapons to fight than lethal weapons. Lethal weapons are so boring, you just shot and the enemy is dead, bare hands are way funnier.    … Expand

    Jimmy Hopkins, you Bi-Con!!! In a truly surprising and progressive move for the time - there is the ability to kiss all genders within the game. In 2006 and from this developer this was a MOVE that should be applauded even by today's standards. To go from hookers, blow and explosions to high school drama with such finesse is truly impressive.

In 2006 and from this developer this was a MOVE that should be applauded even by today's standards. To go from hookers, blow and explosions to high school drama with such finesse is truly impressive. It was clear that the writers and developers used this detour to prove that they could write compelling characters ahead of the launch of Red Dead Redemption and other later GTA games. There is no shortage of heavy real world issues occurring at Bullworth Academy including alcohol abuse, fallible adults and navigating power dynamics within the school system that go so far beyond towel whipping.
    Being Jimmy is a fun time. Skateboarding and biking make traversal a joy and classes provide a fun swath of mini-game challenges that reward you greatly for your success. This reviewer's only real complaints are that the in-game time moves too quickly and what causes the story to progress is in some ways unclear (base missions vs. classes and days). Additionally, there is little indication of when a class might be taking place so you may go several in-game days without returning to your favorite subject which is a bummer. Would have preferred to attend any class during school hours.
    Overall a treasured masterpiece within the Rockstar collection that should not be missed!    … Expand

    A game very similar to GTA made by the people who made GTA? And it takes place in a school? That is Bully and as a game a it is a very good one at that. This is a PS2 Classic that has been remastered on a number of consoles since then. That should give you testament to how much of a classic this game is. And for a number of reasons at that.

    In regards to the story, you play as Jimmy Hopkins after he has been sent to Bullworth Academy (A boarding school) what follows from here is your typical run of the mill rockstar story we have all come to love. You start making friends and start moving up the popularity ranks in the school while also dealing with the harsh realities of school life (Bullies, School work, truancy etc) Story wise it isnt the best in my personal opinion but for the setting it is in, it does a good job and fleshes out the characters well.

    Gameplay is the biggest draw for this game. When you mention this game to people, the thing that springs to mind is "GTA in School" and this is very true for this game. Like in GTA you can goof about and cause mayhem and destruction (but remember the setting so you can't go overboard with guns and explosives etc). And you have to go to classes to learn but you have the option of not going at all and instead mess about instead while on the watch for the prefects who act as the police so to speak. Like I say, it gives you the freedom to play how you want to play like GTA does but with the backdrop of school life which I think worked really well for it.

    In conclusion, Bully is yet another excellent game to add to the excellent Rockstar Games portfolio of games. Yes it is a bit stripped back compared to its GTA counterpart but given the setting etc, I still think it works well and holds up very well to this day!    … Expand

Like fire works. Where are the parents and why do you not go home at night. Also how old is Timmy. He look 45. Does this happen before manhunter. I can relate to the English teacher.

    Another classic from Rockstar games! Rockstar really solidified themselves in gen 6 but this one flies under the radar a lot as it was pulled from shelves at the time it was released. A must play if you're a fan of Midnight Club, GTA, Red Dead or any other game developed by Rockstar.

    Fun game to mess around in and be goofy, and once the city is unlocked the game becomes infinitely more fun with pranks to civilians and getting away on a bike being one of the funnest parts of the game. The story line is goofy and zany. It is just downright crazy fun, and getting into some virtual mischief in Bully is a hell of a lot of fun!

    A GTA clone that is just as good as those games as well. Not only that but they have improved a lot of the mechanics and really have an iconic lead that will be remembered for years to come.

    The main protagonist - Jimmy Hopkins is something, he isn't like any other main protagonists in GTA, he's a school-kid. But to be fair, this game blew my mind. Who knew that you could've got the experience of GTA in a style of school life? Pretty well made Rockstar, forget the GTA games Bully 2 is what I need.

    Rockstar's standard of quality was not broken in Bully, although game not being the producer's best. But it's very immersive, with quite funny sidequests, amazing story and charismatic characters.

    xbox on March 4, 2008. You played as a young boy named Jimmy Hopkins whose parents force

    him to go to a private school. There you learn the school is overrun by rich brats and menacing

    bullies. You rise through the ranks of the school and fight a hidden enemy who is much closer to

    you than you think.

    Jimmy Hopkins is a troubled boy who picks fights, and often crushes his opponents.

    Once coming to the open world fiction town known as Bullworth, there are four groups he needs

    to worry about: the preppies, the jocks, the greasers, and the nerds. They make the open world

    action lots of fun. Each group has weapons or skills in which can make you jam the sprint button

    by fear.

    The overall game play of ā€œBullyā€ was mind-blowing for its time. Made by rockstar games

    (the same company who made GTA) Jimmy Hopkins and his town have made a big mark in

    gaming history. Easily known as one of the best games formatted for xbox and very close to the

    best PS2 game in history. Although the game has all of these feats there are some minor

    dislikes. After a while of playing the game may get tedious or boring, the plot makes up for the

    small problems though. The idea of using weapons such as a firework launcher or a potato gun

    to scare away bullies still makes me jump and down ready to put the game in my dusty PS2.

    The game was obviously meant for older kids and contains inappropriate language use

    and may have some other items like use of drugs and partial nudity.People who also like GTA

    and action adventure games would love this game for itā€™s easy combos and very well put

    together battles. Overall my personal opinion is 5/5 and most editors are 4/5, however most fans

    of the amazing game agree with 4.5/5. The well made, open-world, and fictional world known as

    Bullworth will always make me laugh and have fun in the small and exciting Bullworth Academy.    … Expand

    This is a game that you wanna get. Rock star did a great job making the plot/story on this game and the characters its a stereotypical school with Jocks Nerds Preps Bullies and Greasers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It really should've been named Canis Canem Edit around the world instead of "Bully". The violence in this game is cartoonish, the characters are all hilarious, for a PS2 open world game the graphics are spectacular. I love how each kid at the school belongs to a gang, so if you punch a "nerd" his buddies throw green fuming chemical bombs at you, et cetera. The AI is what impresses me the most, it is so much more advanced compared to the PS2 GTA games. This game ain't about bullying, you can go into town and fight the police and adults, race karts on the streets, participate in bicycle races, date virtual girls, ... it's just juvenile fun. Having said that, if I had children, they wouldn't be allowed to play games such as this.… Expand

It controls just like a ps2 era gta game, so its easy to grasp the controls. The plot is fun if you are young and still in school, that way you could relate to the whole click mentality. This game has a nice undertone of how hard it is to fit into a new school, and how you shouldn't judge people until you get to know them. The game length is quite nice not to long not too short. There are many aspects of the game that will distract you from the main story line such as, classes, side missions, social interaction, mini games, and of course what is a Rockstar game without collectables. I must say that the idea of school classes is a great one that has never been used before, and would be hard to recreate. The idea behind classes is that you only have two per in game school day, and each class will unlock certain things like science class improves your ability to make items like stink bombs etc... The classes are comprised of mini games that each have five levels. The mini games are also very fun like going to the carnival and playing carival games to win real prizes like a mo ped. The other cool thing is that because there is such a large map they include storage for bikes and mo peds. There is so much diversity in this game, so many places to explore, so many things to do that you really just need to play it for your self. You can find a copy on steam for around 15 dollars, or you can find a copy on the wii, or if you have a ps2 you can find a copy for next to nothing. This game defiantly deserves a squeal and knowing how Rockstar improves on its squeal, makes me excited for the future.… Expand

    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]
