Bully: Scholarship Edition - Price and Release Date Confirmed, First Screens

[yaboy]

Can't wait!!

Rockstar Games is best known for its Grand Theft Auto series, but Wii and Xbox 360 owners will soon discover another worthy title in its library. Bully: Scholarship Edition arrives on Wii and 360 on March 4 in the US and March 7 in the UK. Both version are priced at $49.99 and include the original game along with a bevy of extras.

Developed by Rockstar Vancouver, Bully puts you in the shoes of precocious Jimmy Hopkins. Stuck in Bullworth Academy, a stuffy private school for youths, Jimmy must deal with the common problems of youth. There are various cliques from jocks to geeks to socialize with (or avoid), girls to woo, classes to ditch, teachers to mock. This is a game of social networking and in that way a tongue-and-cheek attempt at simulating adolescent life in school.
Added to the original PS2 version are eight new missions, four new school classes (biology, music, math and geography), new unlockable items and clothing, new two-player offline minigames, new awards and, of course, Achievements.

Must admit, the originality has me intrigued.

It's quite good game, i'd have expected better graphics on the 360 though...

It's different, and some of the missions are pretty funny

Looks Fugly

May purchase this again. Couldn't play it on the PS2 because of the horrible graphics and disgraceful load times.

 

[DanTheMan]

Haha I remember playing this at a mates on his ps2, didn't realise it was a Rockstar game although I should have known by the humour.

There's already a thread for this (Joke, I tried making an 'official' thread for this but it was a disaster)

Looking forwward to this, not expecting great graphics just good gameplay.

 

[yaboy]

yeah i dont expect mass effect type graphics, just as long as its as good as it was on ps2

loved it, is this a port or start from scratch type of ting?

Limited by the standard of the models created for the Playstation2.

Looks like a really original idea and I'll definitely pick this up and give it a try.

Not too bothered if the graphics aren't all that if it plays well and is enjoyable.

Bunsen burner antics!

If i was to pick it up for one of the consoles it would probably be the Wii as the 360 version doesn't offer anything over the PS2 version.

Yes it does. Achievements.

 

[JUMPURS]

Yes it does. Achievements.

So it offers nothing to the game then??

 

[R0B75]

No but if you are an achievement whore then the choice is simple. Me, I think I'll pass on this anyway what with GTA coming out a month or so later.

 

[Kyle009]

Think ill pick this up, played it on PS2 and enjoyed it so will love to play it again and get the achievements.

indeed, quite looking forward to it, seems a bit different to all the FPS's that are out these days

I have too many games to play.

Mass Effect, AC, Burnout all sat on my desk waiting to be played.

These threads ruin my wallet.
