I was delighted when I found out that one of the best PS2 titles I missed was coming to the 360. With jumped up graphics and new content this was a must buy.

It sure lived up to all my expectations. As you start the game it's just like you'd imagine; Go to class, annoy some nerds and shout abuse at the teachers... sure does bring back memories. Bully offers a whole lot more than that. What about having your own dorm where all your unlockables can go, hiding in bins and lockers, even sneaking into the girls dorm. Bully offers a lot of variety for a simple concept. And all this is available before you are able to leave the school grounds. Yes, believe it or not there is a full city to explore, and as the story unfolds more parts open up.

One of the best things about Bully for me as a free-roaming game is the interaction with each and every individual character. When I say interaction it's not really dialogue choices like you might find in an RPG. It's a couple of set… more »

One of the best things about Bully for me as a free-roaming game is the interaction with each and every individual character. When I say interaction it's not really dialogue choices like you might find in an RPG. It's a couple of set instructions, but it's just the fact everyone in the game is interactive gives it a more realistic feel. Of course on a larger scale like a GTA game this is a much larger task to accomplish so Bully uses that to its advantage and makes the game a very involving experience, as well as fun.

Bully is full of cheeky laughs, great voice overs and immature mischief. The graphics are nicely improved from the PS2 version and the achievements are fun and easily achieveable with a bit of time. There's about 30 hours of gameplay here if you want to get everything, but it's the quality and not the quantity where this game shines. A great experience that no gamer should miss, a year at school you should love.
