User Rating: 9.7 | Bully PS2
By AndyHopkins | Review Date:
Canis Canem Edit, as it is called in Europe, is about one year in Jimmy Hopkins' life. Jimmy is 15, and goes to a school called Bullworth Academy and the only reason he is going there is because hes been expelled from every other school and his mom's on her umpteenth honeymoon. Through the game you play through a school year, doing missions, running errands and even doing classes, of course you don't have to go no-one's making you apart fom the prefects teachers and cops! In the game all you have to basically do is earn the respect of every single clique and bcoming the king of Bullworth!

GAMEPLAY
The overall gameplay and style feels exactly the same as a GTA game or The Warriors, as it is made by the same company, but this is good way to go because apart from the missions it gives you another side to the game: freedom and discovery.

GRAPHICS
The graphics do not seem to match the PS2's power in this day and age but still looks and feels like a true New England town. The are in Canis Canem Edit maybe small, but it is very detailed. The people in the school are all different and Rockstar have seemed to give them all different personalities, I've counted over 100 different looking and sounding characters. Sure their fingers are quare like something you'd see on a PSOne but most people don't by a game for it's graphics.

SOUND
In Canis Canem Edit, you get no radios or CD players, but you do get a fresh style of music that follows you through the adventure, it even changes as you get onto a bike, or running away from authority, or doing lessons or even just free-roaming.

VALUE
Canis Canem Edit definately has value, highly addictive, and plenty of extras, the game definately won't go to waste, I've completed it 100% and I still go back on it just to ram a couple more school kids down, or just shoot the prefects with a spud gun.

CONCLUSION
Overall This game is completely amazing. A "Masterpiece", "Instant Classic", from Rockstar, it's a shame it didn't sel enough to earn a sequel. But still it would've of probably ruined Canis Canem Edit. Brilliant, Buy it as soon as you see it.
