Product Description
Platform: Nintendo Wii
As a mischievous schoolboy, you`ll stand up to bullies, get picked on by teachers, play pranks, win or lose the girl, and ultimately learn to navigate the obstacles of the worst school around, Bullworth Academy - a corrupt and crumbling prep school with an uptight facade.
The story follows Jimmy Hopkins, a teenager who`s been expelled from every school he`s ever attended. Left to fend for himself after his mother abandons him at Bullworth to go on her fifth honeymoon, Jimmy has a whole year at Bullworth ahead of him, working his way up the social ladder of this demented institution of supposed learning, standing up for what he thinks is right and taking on the liars, cheats and snobs who are the most popular members of the student body and faculty. If Jimmy can survive the school year and outsmart his rivals, he could rule the school.

Fun:
Having only recently bought a Nintendo Wii, and exausting Wii Sports to death, I plunged for "Bully" as my first official game purchase for my new console, and I have to say I was more than pleasantly suprised.
"Bully" is the tale of 15 year old Jimmy, a little tough guy who is not afraid to stand up for himself and what he believes in. Unfortunately, there are others who wish to stand in his way, which include not only members of the student body, but authority as well.
Due to the fact that this game was a Rockstar release, the same software house that has brought us the incredible "Grand Theft Auto" series, "Bully" (or "Canis Canem Edit" in it's previous 2006 release) has received a lot of bad press from ignorant, uninformed people too quick to brand this as another violent game that was going to promote bullying in schools. What you actually realise while playing this game is that this is far different from the style of gameplay brought to us in "GTA." Although the graphics, game engine and playing style are basically the same, the story pits you (as Jimmy) AGAINST the Bullys, fighting for what he believes in and sticking up for the weak and helpless.
The moral story behind "Bully" is rather positive, and therefore should be celebrated as an achievement from Rockstar, balancing out what they brought us with "GTA". Sure, you have elements of mischeif, but there is no blood, no vicious violence, no killing and no explicit bad language. It is purely the fun and cheekiness that we all wish our school days had been like! (Speaking of school days, if you ever played "Skool Daze" or "Back 2 Skool" on your ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64, you will realise that "Bully" is the game you always wanted them to be!)
Overall, with the Wii, "Bully" is a fantastic game. You can use the remote to fire your catapult, fist fight with the bullys, pinch girl's bums, and even raise your arms up to give the bad guys wedgies! It's the most fun I've had in ages.
Thumbs up Rockstar!

Millions of people know Rockstar as the people who brought us the Grand Theft Auto games, and within minutes you know Bully is from the same crowd.
Thats a good thing as the games plot and missions, run smoothly into each other.
The skill level at the beginning is quite low, perfect for getting the feel of slightly confusing controls, however 2hrs later the controls feel as though you redefined them yourself.
Graphically you'll be pleased, its not eye popping, but this is the Wii, so forget comparing it to the Xbox360 version.
This game is awesome, with a superb storyline, brilliant script, great minigames with a well designed free roaming area to explore.
This is a nostalgia trip back to school, forget what people claim is a controversial game, and think if it as a toned down GTA.

Fun:
Even though the Wii suffers from a lot of bad ports, Bully: Scholarship Edition isn't one of them. Already a hit on the PS2, Bully is a charming, entertaining experience, and far more lighthearted than the title might lead you to believe. Bully's mini-games and classes are fun with an overwhelming amount of entertaining content. Scholarship Edition is a step above the PS2 version, due to the use of motion controls, even if it looks graphically very similar. The new classes on the Wii version are well made, and the multiplayer mode is a nice distraction from the main game. Rocktar games clearly put a lot of love, time and effort into their games, and this is one I'd recommend for people who are looking for something unconventional and immersive.

great!
Fantastic game, and a bargain these days compared to some of the stupidly priced new games on Wii. Manages to be fun whilst not glorifying violence to the extent of GTA etc

Brilliant!
