Bully had a rough time reaching release, but still ends up being very different, tougher and funnier than most games.

Rockstar has had an enourmous success with the Grand Theft Auto games, but it's great to see them try something at least slightly different. Bully has not been the sale success they hoped for, but this is a game that deserves better. (The game is known as Canis Canem Edit in Europe).

First of all, the graphics are good. It looks just as good as GTA San Andreas and works very well. The most fascinating thing is how characteristic all the characters look. The nerds look like nerds, and the jocks look like jocks. The nerds talk about orcs and elves and comes with idiotic sayings like "Do you sometimes be in your pants? Well I do!" or "My mom calls me her prince!", and that's a lot of fun!

The sounds in Bully are awesome. With its fantastic music and voices its the games best side. The music changes all the time and every tune is as saticfying as the other. But the actors voice work is bejond excellent. Especially Gary Smith sounds awesome. Every scene he's in is fantastic, it's like seing a real bully in action. It's just a huge shame that he dissapears after 4 hours and doesn't come back until at the end of the game, cause he would have rased the game too an even higher level.

Bully plays a lot like GTA, but all the missions has got some connection with the school and its surroundings. The missions go from taking pictures of students cheating, to helping the cook meet the love of her life. The game is a lot of fun and is never boring. It's quite linear, but that doesn't ruin the experience. You can do so many things at Bullsworth Academy you'll sometimes forget about the main missions. There are races for you to compete in, food fights for you to start, bullys to fight, and girls asses for you to pinch!! The games biggest minus comes through some very frustrating camera and control issues. But other than that, the game is great. If you dream of being a bully, or has a nose for Grand Theft Auto, check out this game, you're guarantied to have fun.

Fantastic music and voice acting, especially Gary sounds awesome. A very stereotype and funny look at the school students. Good and varied missions. A lot of things to do. Solid graphics.

Gary should have been more included into the game. The camera and controls works bad together at times.
