Here's something I wasn't expecting at all. I went to the store looking for a new game to buy. Then I saw Bully sitting there. I remember hearing some good things about it around the net, so i purchased the game and went home. Little did I know that what I was about to play was brilliance. At first glace, it looks and may feel like a GTA knockoff. While that may be somewhat so, it really isn't. Those dudes over at Rockstar found, yet, another way to take the Sandbox feel that they have to have mastered from their other games, and implied it into Bully perfectly. What's so different you ask? Well, this is going to sound dumb, but you cant kill ANYONE in the game. Not only that, but you cant even drive a vehicle (you can ride bikes though). Sounds crazy, and not fun, but it is! Every mission in the game is pretty different and lots of fun to do. One of the greatest things about Bully was its difficulty. Not to easy, but still, it wasn't a hard game either.

The storyline goes down like this. You're some punk ass kid named Jimmy Hopkins. Your parents sent you away to some school for the year because... well... I guess they hate you. Being new to the school, you notice all of the corruption that is going on in and around it, so you take it upon yourself to clean the place up. It's a pretty long game to get though, with lots of fun stuff to do along the way! The craziest thing is that you dont just go around the school. Actually, there's a huge city for you to explore! I couldn't believe it when I first saw it! but it's there!

I can't remember how long it took me to finish Bully, but I think it was around 30hours. Seriously, this game is brilliant, and everyone should try it out sometime, it wont let you down =).

Hardest Boss
When you gotta fight that dude in the construction site place. He was pretty tough, but I never got a game over or nuttin.
Approximate Complete Time
I think around 30hours.
Things You Should Know
Beating that kids high score in the basement of that comic book store place is downright nasty.
Final Score
10/10
Why a 10/10?
Honestly, this game rules. When you first start playing you'll say to yourself "this feels slow, and kinda like GTA... I think I'm done playing for now". But seriously, give it a few hours, and it will grow on ya. Everyone should at least try this one.
