Pretty fun! A Toned Down GTA style game.

User Rating: 8.7 | Bully PS2
I really like this game. It has pretty much all the attention you'd expect from a Rockstar game: great graphics, realistic interaction, easily familiarlized gameplay, good story and on and on. What I like most about this game is that it offers a large enough enviornment to avoid stagnation but small enough that it is not intimidating or boring like the GTA San Andreas game enviornment. I mean when it takes you 20 minutes to drive to a location, that's lame, Bully avoids that snare to a large extent. The controls are easy to grasp and are very similar to every other Rockstar offering so you can get the hang of things pretty quick. What I hate about this game is that the response, particularly on the skateboard, is really clunky. It is hard to manuever and you wonder why they'd put something in the game if it sucks to manipulate. The characters are rich and the readheads are pretty hot for animated ladies. I do wonder when Rockstar is going to brach out an offer something other than a GTA clone but, hey, if it ain't broke don't ifx it right? All in all a solid offering although it would have been much better in a rated M format. I understand why its not though. I can already tell you this game is going to get yanked off the shelved cause some douche bag kid is going to go to school and kick the hell out of a bully and blame this game so get it while you can. Have fun with it!
