A remastered version of the game, subtitled Scholarship Edition, was developed by Mad Doc Software and released on 4 March 2008 for Xbox 360 and Wii, and on 21 October 2008 for Microsoft Windows. It was released on 17 October 2006 for the PlayStation 2. The sleepy little North Hampshire coastal town, the corrupt school, and the events which unfold therein are all some of the best gaming experiences I've had.Bully (originally released in the PAL region as Canis Canem Edit) is an action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar Vancouver and published by Rockstar Games. I think you have to look to enjoy more than the gameplay alone. I suggest you look at a gameplay video on YouTube and skip ahead of where you are, if you're unsure if you want to continue, just to see if what's coming is more in your taste. The first chapter merely sets the tone of the school life, to get you familiar with the characters etc., and then later there's more things to do outside school. I do think the game grows up toward the middle, as the story unfolds. The classes can be a bit tedious (and Scholarship Edition even added more of them, nearly doubling the total, which we totally could've done without!), but I think they add a certain flavour, and at a certain point it's possible to have passed all classes, and you can disregard them all for the rest of the game (also, you don't have to complete them, but you'll have to deal with prefects chasing you around for truancy).Īs for the "childish chores", well, most games have A-B running and collecting quests. What I love about it, though, is the story, the characters, the setting, and the music. As far as gameplay goes, it's nowhere near comparable to recent sandbox titles. Sure, it's a bit repetitive at times, and yeah, it's an old game at this point.
Should I keep playing a little longer so I can hit the good parts? Does the game get better eventually or does it stay like this and bombard you with little childish chores?Īs someone who's bought one copy - and beat it at least once - for every console it's released on, I can tell you my opinion. This is not fun to me in any way, and I don't understand why people are so fond of this game? Maybe it's the nostalgia?
A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game.
